Woodfill started and led Interval Research's work on computational stereo vision. He is well known for his research in frame-rate depth and motion vision for systems that work in the real world. His work on patented, stereo vision hardware is at the core of Tyzx's 3D imaging technology.

He was previously a consultant at Xerox PARC and SRI, and a Visiting Scientist at the IBM Science Center in Heidelberg, Germany. He was also a member of the original team that developed the INGRES relational database system at UC Berkeley.
