The 2024 IEEE Conference on Computational Imaging Using Synthetic Apertures (CISA) is being held at the NIST Boulder campus and is organized by several IEEE groups focused on synthetic aperture technology. The event brings together experts in imaging and sensing to discuss advances in synthetic aperture methods, which use clever measurement techniques to improve imaging performance beyond what traditional hardware can achieve. These methods are used in a wide range of applications, from radar and sonar to medical imaging and radio astronomy.
The conference covers a broad range of topics, including radar, sonar, optics, 5G, seismology, and quantum sensing. One of the more futuristic areas discussed is the use of quantum sensors, like Rydberg probes, in synthetic aperture systems. The event also emphasizes standardization efforts to ensure consistency and reliability in synthetic aperture imaging and sensing technologies. Registration for the in-person event closed on May 13, 2024, and attendees must present proper identification to enter the NIST campus.
Keywords: Rydberg probes, quantum sensors, synthetic apertures
