The Imaging Systems Laboratory from the University of Hong Kong contributed several presentations at the COSI Optica Imaging Congress held on July 15 at Caravelle 2. The session, led by Chris Metzler from the University of Maryland, focused on new research in Computational Optical Sensing and Imaging, with a special emphasis on Event Based and Neuromorphic Sensing.

During the session, Chutian Wang presented three studies. The first discussed the combination of diamond quantum sensing with computational neuromorphic imaging techniques aimed at improving precision and reducing computation time. This research, co-authored with Edmund Lam, seeks to enhance the capabilities of quantum sensing technologies.
In a subsequent presentation, Chutian Wang explored methods to increase the dynamic range of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors using computational neuromorphic imaging. This work is crucial for accurately measuring rapid changes in optical environments and was developed in collaboration with Shuo Zhu, Pei Zhang, and Edmund Lam.
The final talk by Chutian Wang introduced a method for synthesizing spectra through computational neuromorphic imaging, which aims to analyze interactions between light and samples for better biological analysis. This presentation, resulting from a collaborative effort with Rongzhou Chen, Shuo Zhu, and Edmund Lam, was also recognized as a finalist for a student paper award.
These contributions from the Imaging Systems Laboratory demonstrate the ongoing research efforts and academic involvement of its members in advancing optical sensing and imaging technologies.
