Agile SPAD Sensor Image Processing

Closes: Aug 31, 2026

About the Project

Recent advances in large array format SPAD sensors, call for novel image processing pipelines (ISP) to create optimised computer vision systems using these sensors.

The single photon detection capability of SPADs with accompanying in-pixel computation, provides the opportunity for tailored optimisation of resolution, dynamic range, signal to noise and motion capture in challenging scenes.

To refine the ISP for computer vision, the resultant SPAD sensor + ISP will be deployed in a real computer vision application (e.g. robotic navigation, fall detection, human tracking).

The project deliverables will be as follows:

A bespoke ISP optimised for single-photon input data.
Demo system with application-specific optimisation.
Analysis and refinement of optimal ISP partitioning and in-pixel compute.

Eligibility

An undergraduate degree at 2:1 or above (or international equivalent) in a relevant science or engineering discipline, possibly supported by an MSc degree.
