This is What to Expect from the 3rd Edition of WACCI

Montevideo will host the 3rd edition of WACCI, the International Workshop on Adaptive, Compressive and Computational Imaging, taking place from November 26 to 28. This event brings together professionals, academics, and students in the field of computational imaging. The initiative was originally driven by our director, Dr. Esteban Vera.

The International Workshop on Adaptive, Compressive and Computational Imaging (WACCI) is a scientific and networking event created to share advances in the acquisition and processing of computational images. Held every two years, this congress has become a key meeting point for researchers, engineers, and students interested in advanced imaging technology.

The first edition of WACCI was held in Valparaíso, Chile (2019), and the second edition in Bucaramanga, Colombia (2022). This third edition, which will take place in Montevideo, Uruguay, is organized by Dr. Julia Alonso from the University of the Republic.

Notable Participation and High-Level Scientific Content

The congress will feature more than 20 international speakers, who will give keynote talks on the latest advancements in computational imaging, covering a wide range of innovative topics.

Among the topics to be addressed at the congress are:

  • Compressive sensing
  • Unconventional imaging modalities
  • Imaging at extreme scales
  • 3D Imaging
  • Superresolution Lensless imaging
  • Deep learning for computational imaging
  • Imaging through turbid media
  • Spectral imaging
  • Phase retrieval
  • Wavefront sensing
  • Adaptive optics
  • Inverse problems
  • Fourier Ptychography

These and other cutting-edge topics will be discussed by international experts, along with presentations by undergraduate and graduate students, offering a deep and up-to-date view of the computational imaging field.

Our Optoelectronics Laboratory, led by Professor Esteban Vera, will have a prominent role at WACCI 2024. The laboratory will participate with 3 postdoctoral researchers and 11 undergraduate and graduate students, who will present their research projects in various scientific sessions. Additionally, 4 undergraduate students will attend the conference to explore the world of computational imaging.

A Unique Opportunity for Collaboration and Learning

This is an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest trends in computational imaging, explore the practical applications of imaging technology, and network with international experts. This year’s edition promises to be a space for learning, collaboration, and growth for everyone involved in the field of computational imaging.

“We invite you to learn more about this conference, which will address the state of the art in computational imaging applications. We will have international experts and presentations of outstanding student works,” said Dr. Esteban Vera.
