Computer Vision with Single-Photon Cameras

Workshop at ICCV 2025

Date: 19th October 2025, 8:15am - 12:30pm

Location: Hawai'i Convention Center

Poster Session: 9:40am - 12:30pm, at poster board # TBD


Introduction

Single-photon cameras (SPCs) are an emerging class of camera technology with the potential to revolutionize the way today’s computer vision systems capture and process scene information, thanks to their extreme sensitivity, high speed capabilities, and increasing commercial availability.

They provide extreme dynamic range and long-range high-resolution 3D imaging, well beyond the capabilities of CMOS image sensors. SPCs thus facilitate various downstream computer vision applications such as low-cost, long-range cameras for self-driving cars and autonomous robots, high-sensitivity cameras for night photography and fluorescence-guided surgeries, and high dynamic range cameras for industrial machine vision and biomedical imaging applications.

The goal of this half-day workshop at ICCV 2025 is to showcase the myriad ways in which SPCs are used today in computer vision and inspire new applications. The workshop features experts on several key topics of interest, as well as a poster session to highlight in-progress work.

Call for Posters πŸ–ΌοΈ

We welcome submissions to CVSPC 2025 for the poster session, which we will host during the workshop. We invite posters presenting research relating to any aspect of single-photon imaging, such as those using or simulating SPADs, APDs, QIS, or other sensing methods that operate at or near the single-photon limit. Posters may be of new or prior work. If the content has been previously presented in another conference or publication, please note this in the abstract. We especially encourage submissions of in-progress work and student projects.

Please submit a 1-page abstract via this Google Form. These abstracts will be used for judging poster acceptance/rejection, and will not appear in any workshop proceedings. Please use any reasonable format that includes a title, list of authors and a short description of the poster. If this poster is associated with a previously accepted conference or journal paper please be sure to note this in the abstract and include a citation and/or a link to the project webpage.

Final poster size will be communicated to the authors upon acceptance.

Questions? Please email us at cvspc25 at gmail.
