About

Stirling Scholes is a leading researcher in computational imaging and single-photon sensing, with a focus on advancing 3D time-of-flight (ToF) image sensors for transformative applications like autonomous driving, augmented reality (AR), and robotics. His major contributions center on developing video super-resolution techniques for single-photon LIDAR systems, particularly those using single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). By enhancing the spatial resolution of depth maps captured by compact SPAD arrays, Scholes has addressed critical challenges in producing accurate, long-range 3D imaging without compromising sensor size or efficiency. His most-cited work, a 2023 paper on video super-resolution for single-photon LIDAR, has garnered 20 citations, reflecting its immediate impact in the field. This research builds on his earlier 2022 publication, which laid foundational methods for improving depth map quality in noisy, low-light conditions. Scholes’ achievements are notable for bridging the gap between hardware limitations and practical deployment, enabling SPAD-based sensors to achieve high-fidelity imaging over extended distances. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of computational photography, LIDAR technology, and real-world sensing systems.
