Image processing systems gather and convey information using image sensors enabling a variety of IoT and mobile applications. IoT systems utilize image sensors to perform a multitude of various tasks that are important in all aspects of life such as detecting wildfires in forests, lifesaving medical imaging and reality headsets that use body tracking....

­Through the lens of their cameras, mobile devices can visually observe a user’s environment for detecting faces, understanding spatial scene geometry, and capturing images and videos. This has yielded a wide range of benefits, especially as image sensors have grown to support increasingly higher resolutions and frame rates. With such precision,...

Background Advances in imaging and vision processing technologies have enabled countless devices, such as phones, headsets, cameras, and drones, to be commercial staples. As high-performance imaging needs grow, management of energy consumption becomes a concern. This has motivated a trend towards three-dimensional “stacked” integrated circuit...
