IS&T Welcome


PLENARY: Quanta Image Sensors: Counting Photons Is the New Game in Town

speaker photographEric R. Fossum,
Dartmouth College (United States)

Abstract: The Quanta Image Sensor (QIS) was conceived as a different image sensor—one that counts photoelectrons one at a time using millions or billions of specialized pixels read out at high frame rate with computation imaging used to create gray scale images. QIS devices have been implemented in a CMOS image sensor (CIS) baseline room-temperature technology without using avalanche multiplication, and also with SPAD arrays. This plenary details the QIS concept, how it has been implemented in CIS and in SPADs, and what the major differences are. Applications that can be disrupted or enabled by this technology are also discussed, including smartphone, where CIS-QIS technology could even be employed in just a few years.

Biography: Eric R. Fossum is best known for the invention of the CMOS image sensor "camera-on-a-chip" used in billions of cameras. He is a solid-state image sensor device physicist and engineer, and his career has included academic and government research, and entrepreneurial leadership. At Dartmouth he is a professor of engineering and vice provost for entrepreneurship and technology transfer. Fossum received the 2017 Queen Elizabeth Prize from HRH Prince Charles, considered by many as the Nobel Prize of Engineering "for the creation of digital imaging sensors," along with three others. He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, and elected to the National Academy of Engineering among other honors including a recent Emmy Award. He has published more than 300 technical papers and holds more than 175 US patents. He co-founded several startups and co-founded the International Image Sensor Society (IISS), serving as its first president. He is a Fellow of IEEE and OSA.

speaker photographLarry Matthies,
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (United States)

Abstract: This year saw exciting milestones in planetary exploration with the successful landing of the Perseverance Mars rover, followed by its operation and the successful technology demonstration of the Ingenuity helicopter, the first heavier-than-air aircraft ever to fly on another planetary body. This plenary highlights new technologies used in this mission, including precision landing for Perseverance, a vision coprocessor, new algorithms for faster rover traverse, and the ingredients of the helicopter. It concludes with a survey of challenges for future planetary mobility systems, particularly for Mars, Earth's moon, and Saturn's moon, Titan.

Biography: Larry Matthies received his PhD in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University (1989), before joining JPL, where he has supervised the Computer Vision Group for 21 years, the past two coordinating internal technology investments in the Mars office. His research interests include 3-D perception, state estimation, terrain classification, and dynamic scene analysis for autonomous navigation of unmanned vehicles on Earth and in space. He has been a principal investigator in many programs involving robot vision and has initiated new technology developments that impacted every US Mars surface mission since 1997, including visual navigation algorithms for rovers, map matching algorithms for precision landers, and autonomous navigation hardware and software architectures for rotorcraft. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and was a joint winner in 2008 of the IEEE's Robotics and Automation Award for his contributions to robotic space exploration.

SD&A Keynote 10:05 New York Timezone  


Tasks, traps, and tricks of a minion making 3D magic

John R. Benson, Illumination Entertainment (France)   [SD&A-267] [Presentation Only]

Abstract: 

"Um, this movie is going to be in stereo, like, 3D? Do we have to wear the glasses? How do we do that? How expensive is it going to be? And more importantly, if I buy that tool you wanted, can you finish the movie a week faster? No, ok, then figure it out for yourself. Go on, you can do it. We have faith…" And so it begins. From Coraline to Sing2, with Despicable Me, Minions, Pets, and a few Dr. Suess films, John Benson has designed the look and developed processes for making the stereo films of Illumination Entertainment both cost efficient and beneficial to the final film, whether as 2D or 3D presentations. He will discuss his workflow and design thoughts, as well as the philosophy of how he uses stereo visuals as a story telling device and definitely not a gimmick.

Biography:

John R. Benson began his professional career in the camera department, shooting motion control and animation for "Pee-wee's Playhouse" in the mid 80s. He's been a visual effect supervisor for commercials in New York and San Francisco, managed the CG commercials division for Industrial Light and Magic, and was compositor for several films, including the Matrix sequels and Peter Jackson's "King Kong". After "Kong", he helped design the motion control systems and stereo pipeline for Laika's "Coraline". Since 2009, he has been working for Illumination Entertainment in Paris, France as the Stereographic Supervisor for the "Despicable Me" series, "Minions", several Dr. Seuss adaptations, the "Secret Life of Pets" series and both "Sing" films. Together, the Illumination projects have grossed over $6.7 billion worldwide.

Multiple independent viewer stereoscopic projection (Invited)

Steve Chapman, Digital Projection Limited (United Kingdom)   [SD&A-268] [Presentation Only]

Abstract: It has emerged that one of the major shortcomings of immersive visualization is the problem of isolation. Although the cost and performance of head mounted displays have improved greatly over recent years, they still suffer from fundamental issues: They fail to blend real and virtual environments, potentially resulting in discomfort, disorientation and disassociation from other participants. Combinations of Stereo Projection and Head-Tracking have been used to provide a single observer with a convincing virtual environment that can be real time updated to maintain the correct perspective as the viewer moves within the model. Multi-View technology extends the capability of stereo projection and head-tracking to enable multiple viewers to observe the same model and environment, but each from a perspective appropriate to their changing position. They have the benefit that they can move independently and see one another's movements and articulations. This maintains natural human interactions and collaboration. Multi-View has been achieved by the development of very high frame rate, high resolution projection and fast-switching active glasses. Together, these have enabled time division multiplexed presentation of images to multiple observers. To date we have demonstrated and installed systems where up to and including six independent stereo views are displayed at native 4K resolution, flicker free (at 120fps per viewer) with excellent greyscale, colour and luminance.

Biography: Steve Chapman: Studied Physics and Mathematics (BSc hons) at Leeds University (UK) followed by a Master's degree in Applied Optics at the University of Salford. Joined the Rank Organisation in 1994 and was a founder member of the newly formed Digital Projection Limited in 1996. Digital Projection (and previously Rank) were Texas Instruments' founding partner in the development of DLP Projection technology; first moving images were displayed at our site in Manchester, UK. Having been instrumental in the development of multiple generations of projectors as the technology evolved, Steve is now Head of R&D at Digital Projection Limited.

Why Simulated Reality will be the driver for the Metaverse and 3D immersive visualization in general (Invited)

Maarten Tobias, Dimenco B.V. (the Netherlands)   [SD&A-292] [Presentation Only]

Abstract: Easiness of use and access to devices will determine for a large part the way people will be able to experience the Metaverse or immersive content. Using 3D displays, without the need of wearables and that can interact with the end-user in such a way that they feel part of the experience, will provide exactly that experience. If such 3D display technology is relatively low cost, can be easily integrated in existing devices and leverage on known 3D formats and XR standardization, like OpenXR it will drive the adaptation of immersive content in general. Especially the large tech companies that are pushing this immersive experience will drive the push for accessible and cost effective display solutions. Whereas their focus is often on head mounted devices the market agrees that the majority of devices is – and will remain – devices as we know them today, such as laptops, mobile phones and monitors. Therefore an important specification to facilitate this transition to immersive devices is that they can be used as normal devices. Switchable display technology is therefore a must to facilitate this transition and offer a easy accessible immersive experience.

Biography: Maarten holds a Master in Strategic Management at Tilburg University and has been in different commercial and strategic roles at Philips before founding Dimenco in 2010. Maarten introduced the concept of SR in 2017 and is since then working closely with the technical and commercial team to implement this vision. Maarten is further since 2019 part of the Supervisory board of Morphotonics and advises several start-ups on strategic challenges.

EI Plenary 3 and Discussion Panel
10:00 - 11:15 * New York Timezone

PLENARY: Physics-based Image Systems Simulation

speaker photographJoyce Farrell,
Executive Director, Stanford Center for Image Systems Engineering, Stanford University, CEO and Co-founder, ImagEval Consulting (United States)

Abstract: Three quarters of a century ago, visionaries in academia and industry saw the need for a new field called photographic engineering and formed what would become the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T). Thirty-five years ago, IS&T recognized the massive transition from analog to digital imaging and created the Symposium on Electronic Imaging (EI). IS&T and EI continue to evolve by cross-pollinating electronic imaging in the fields of computer graphics, computer vision, machine learning, and visual perception, among others. This talk describes open-source software and applications that build on this vision. The software combines quantitative computer graphics with models of optics and image sensors to generate physically accurate synthetic image data for devices that are being prototyped. These simulations can be a powerful tool in the design and evaluation of novel imaging systems, as well as for the production of synthetic data for machine learning applications.

Biography: Joyce Farrell is a senior research associate and lecturer in the Stanford School of Engineering and the executive director of the Stanford Center for Image Systems Engineering (SCIEN). Joyce received her BS from the University of California at San Diego and her PhD from Stanford University. She was a postdoctoral fellow at NASA Ames Research Center, New York University, and Xerox PARC, before joining the research staff at Hewlett Packard in 1985. In 2000 Joyce joined Shutterfly, a startup company specializing in online digital photofinishing, and in 2001 she formed ImagEval Consulting, LLC, a company specializing in the development of software and design tools for image systems simulation. In 2003, Joyce returned to Stanford University to develop the SCIEN Industry Affiliates Program.

The Brave New World of Virtual Reality: A Panel Discussion

Advances in electronic imaging, computer graphics, and machine learning have made it possible to create photorealistic images and videos. In the future, one can imagine that it will be possible to create a virtual reality that is indistinguishable from real-world experiences. This panel discusses the benefits of this brave new world of virtual reality and how we can mitigate the risks that it poses.

The goal of the panel discussion is to showcase state-of-the art synthetic imagery, learn how this progress benefits society, and discuss how we can mitigate the risks that the technology also poses. After brief demos of the state-of-their-art, the panelists will discuss.

Moderated by: Joyce Farrell
