The Single Photon Challenge competition is now underway with thousands of dollars in prizes! Head over to SinglePhotonChallenge.com to signup and submit your algorithms.
If you missed this year's program, the speaker slides will be posted below over the coming weeks.
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.
We welcome submissions to CVSPC 2025 for the poster session, which we will host during the workshop.
We invite posters presenting research relating to computational imaging techniques
that harness the capabilities of modern image sensors (e.g., CMOS, SPAD, APD, QIS, or other sensing methods)
to operate at the single-photon
limit.
We welcome poster submissions on both new and previously presented 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.
Instructions for Accepted Posters
Poster dimensions will be a maximum of 84" x 42" (2:1 aspect ratio, landscape format).
Although it is not required, you can use ICCV's on-site printing service.
Poster printing guidelines are available here.
To attend CVSPC you will need either a Full Passport registation or a 1-day Workshop/Tutorial Pass.
Early registration pricing ends on August 31, 2025 at 11:59pm HST.
