Kazuhiro Morimoto of Canon will be talking at IEEE Sensors 2024, about SPAD sensors (single photon avalanche diode) sensors. These are atypically used for time of flight measurements and other light sensitive applications.
This workshop will be held on October 20th. According to IEEE, the “From Imaging to Sensing: Latest and Future Trends of CMOS Image Sensors” will be discussing;
This workshop will provide an overview of recent technological trends of CMOS image sensors (CIS). This workshop will have the invite talks from the principal engineers representing major CIS players in the image sensor industry as well as the academic researchers to introduce the recent CIS evolution, technological trends including imaging and sensing technologies and will have communication time to talk with these authors about future perspective about CIS technologies. The workshop has two major sessions: One is the general CIS technology review as consumer electronics devices such as smartphone camera, automotive camera in addition to the review of the cutting-edge CIS devices structures. The other is the new trend including non-imaging applications such as time of flight sensors which output the high precision depth map as well as SPAD (Single photon avalanche diode)) based image sensors to capture high quality images under very faint lighting conditions. We believe this workshop will pave the way of future imaging and sensing technology and would like to encourage all the attendee of the IEEE SENSORS 2024 conference to come to discuss the topics about “From Imaging to Sensing: Latest and Future Trends of CMOS Image Sensors”.

Mr Morimoto will discuss the topic of High-definition SPAD image sensors for computer vision applications. Canon has done significant amounts of research into SPAD image sensors, so Canon discussing this should come as no surprise.
Other giants in the industry talking at this workshop include;
- Eiichi Funatsu (OMNIVISION)
- Bumsuk Kim (Samsung Electronics)
- Jun Ogi (Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corp)
- Laurent Plaza & Olivier Lemarchand (STMicroelectronics)
- Harish Venkataraman, Meta Inc.

But am I right, that those not yet play any role in "normal" cameras and imaging?
I suppose it is still a long way to go, to do so. Am I correct?
Canon's cameras with SPAD sensors are probably the best cameras in low light but they are not very useful in normal light.
Thanks for your reply, by the way.
