Thiagarajan, Jayaraman (Arizona State University), “Sparse methods in image understanding and computer vision”, Advisor: Prof. Andreas  Spanias (2013)

Image understanding has been playing an increasingly crucial role in vision applications. Sparse models form an important component in image understanding, since the statistics of natural images reveal the presence of sparse structure.

The Industry Digital Signal Processing Technology Standing Committee (IDSP-SC) promotes emerging signal processing applications and industry technologies and also encourages industry participation in the IEEE Signal Processing Society.

The SPS Board of Governors recently approved the creation of Special Interest Groups.

The Technical Committee on Signal Processing Theory and Methods (SPTM TC) has been very active over the last six months and a number of changes have been introduced.
