2nd Computational Imaging Forum 2023:
Presentations and Discussion Rounds with international Experts in Wetzlar

Long awaited we herewith invite those interested in technology and applications of computational imaging to join us for a 2day symposium on May 10 and 11, 2023. This event will give you the chance to hear about breakthrough ideas and latest research and developments and engage in an lively discussions. See the program link for more information on the high-profile speaker panel.

Computational Imaging remains one of the key topics that elevate both scientific and consumer solutions to new levels. Compared to classical image processing and analysis approaches, new artificial intelligence methods applied deploy machine learning or deep learning models benefitting from the ever-progressing increase of computing power and miniaturization of processing units. Sophistication of such models have raised the quality of results. Use-cases are manifold, for which the goal is the same: to generate true insights and enable better decisions from available data. Computational Imaging will continue to create eve more chances and opportunities in various application fields reaching from photography to microscopy to three-dimensional reconstruction, and beyond.
The expert panel is co-organized by industrial network Wetzlar Network, Leica Microsystems and Leica Camera AG.
The event will be hosted by Leica Camera.

Since the number of participants is limited, we recommend early registration.
