Call for Videos

The Signal Processing Society is pleased to announce the 5-Minute Video Clip Contest (5-MICC) at ICASSP in the Greek Island of Rhodes, June 04 - 10, 2023. The 5-MICC aims to encourage the signal processing community to explain concepts in an innovative way using a video. The winners will be selected based on the quality of their project, novelty, clarity of presentation, and creativity. 

The topic chosen this year is multimodal biometrics and behavior analysis, also known as multimodal behavioral biometrics or behaviometrics. Facial biometrics have recently gained popularity thanks to the development of accurate recognition models and the introduction of powerful and compact cameras, such as those in smartphones. Facial motion, though less used, is known to contain behavior information related to age and identity, while speech is a widely used biometric. This competition aims to highlight the potential of signal processing within a multimodal framework to design trustworthy, secured multimodal behaviometrics that can operate in everyday life.

5-MICC Contest at ICIP 2022

Secure Multimodal Behaviometrics

IEEE ICIP 2022 | October 16-19, 2022 | Details Document (coming soon)

Call for Videos

The 5-Minute Video Clip Contest, called the 5-MICC, is an annual competition at the IEEE ICASSP and ICIP conferences. The competition aims to encourage the signal processing community to explain concepts in an innovative way using a video. The winners will be selected based on the quality of their project, novelty, clarity of presentation, and creativity.

The topic chosen this year is multimodal biometrics and behavior analysis, also known as multimodal behavioral biometrics or behaviometrics. Facial biometrics have recently gained popularity thanks to the development of accurate recognition models and the introduction of powerful and compact cameras, such as those in smartphones. Facial motion, though less used, is known to contain behavior information related to age and identity, while speech is a widely used biometric. This competition aims to highlight the potential of image processing within a multimodal framework to design trustworthy, secured multimodal behaviometrics that can operate in everyday life.

The submitted videos can cover any theoretical and practical aspects of how image processing can be used to exploit the strong connection between facial dynamics (biometrics + behavior analysis) and speech to develop behaviometrics that are difficult to spoof and can be cancellable if compromised. The scope includes solutions for new multimodal behaviometrics, their applications, and multimodal behaviometrics authentication systems, for example, cancellable biometrics, de-identification techniques, deep-fake video detection, and presentation attack detection.

The contest is open for submissions from IEEE SPS members, including undergraduate and graduate students of all majors, as well as researchers from all over the world. Each team must be composed of:

• One faculty member (the Supervisor)
• At most one graduate student (the Tutor),
• At least three but no more than five undergraduate students. At least three undergraduate team members must be either IEEE SPS student members or SPS members by the time they submit the full 5-minute video (see below).

There will be three stages for the call

1. Submission of 30-Second Trailers:

Submission deadline: August 12, 2022
Announcement of the best 10 teams: August 19, 2022
Each submission should include a report, in the form of an IEEE conference paper, up to 2 pages, on the main idea/concept of the full video that will be submitted with the related written script.

2. Submission of the Full 5-Minute Video:
Submission deadline: September 13, 2022
Announcement of the 3 best videos: September 27, 2022
Three finalist teams will be selected by the organizing TC.

3. Final Contest at ICIP 2022 in Bordeaux, France
Conference dates: October 16-19, 2022
Voting until October 17th, 2022. The final ranking will be decided by the judging panel, also taking into account the popular vote. The winners and final team ranking will be announced during the conference.

5-MICC at ICASSP 2022 - Call for Video: Graph Signal Processing and Applications

The Signal Processing Society is pleased to announce the 5-Minute Video Clip Contest (5-MICC) at ICASSP in Singapore May 22-27, 2022.

The topic chosen this year is graph signal processing (GSP) and its applications. Graph signals arise in various applications, such as sensor networks, power systems, social networks, and biological studies. The area of GSP has gained considerable interest in the last decade. GSP theory extends concepts and techniques from traditional digital signal processing to data indexed by generic graphs, including the graph Fourier transform, graph filter design, and sampling and recovery of graph signals.

This competition aims to highlight the potential of GSP tools for various signal-processing tasks, including but not limited to sampling, filtering, denoising, classification, prediction, and anomaly detection. The submitted video can cover any theoretical and practical aspects of graph signal processing (GSP) and signal processing in networks. Related areas might be considered as well. For example, topics may include the development of GSP tools for various sensor processing tasks, including sensing, filtering, sensor data classification, clustering, anomaly detection, and prediction. Various applications can be addressed, such as time-series signals, image, video, and heterogeneous signals. Finally, topics include future directions for using GSP tools for analysis, modeling, and understanding pandemic.

The 5-Minute Video Clip Contest, called the 5-MICC, is an annual competition at the IEEE ICASSP and ICIP conferences. The competition aims to encourage the signal processing community to explain concepts in an innovative way using a video. The winners will be selected based on the quality of their project, novelty, clarity of presentation, and creativity. The contest is open for submissions from IEEE SPS members, including undergraduate and graduate students of all majors and researchers from all over the world. Each team must be composed of: (i) One faculty member (the Supervisor); (ii) At most one graduate student (the Tutor), and; (iii) At least three but no more than five undergraduates.
