DESCRIPTION:Traditionally\, two dimensional imaging systems have been the 
 dominant method of sensing and visualizing the world and to perform variou
 s information dependent tasks. Stereoscopic imaging and display provides 3
 D cues to some extent but is limited to fixed viewpoint capture and recons
 truction. \n\nIn this seminar\, we present an overview of advances in 3D i
 maging\, visualization\, and display. In addition\, we discuss performing 
 3D imaging with few photons. The integration of passive three-dimensional 
 (3D) integral imaging and photon-counting sensing presents many novel appl
 ications\, including imaging through obscurations and very low light level
  imaging. We show that it is possible to perform complex tasks such as 3D 
 visualization and 3D object recognition with substantially fewer photons t
 han\nconventional imaging. 3D object recognition can require a large numbe
 r of pixels to be gathered to provide reliable recognition. In photon-coun
 ting 3D imaging\, we find that reliable pattern recognition can be obtaine
 d with very few pixels generating photo-counts. Photon-counting 3D imaging
  experiments will be presented to verify the theoretical predictions.
