2026 IEEE Conference on Computational Imaging Using Synthetic Apertures

· University at Albany · Albany, New York

CISA connects computational imaging and remote sensing across theory, engineering practice, and standardization. The 2026 conference brought together researchers and engineers at the University at Albany for keynote talks, technical discussions, and tutorials.

Technical programCall for papers
Synthetic-aperture imagingSchematic of measurements collected at nine positions reconstructing a terrapin. A camera moves continuously along the sampling arc while pulses travel to the turtle. Reflected echoes meet the camera at its new position, where a ring marks reception. As measurements accumulate, a blurred estimate resolves into the turtle’s outline and shell pattern, a reference to the University of Maryland.
