The Image, Video, and Multidimensional Signal Processing Technical Committee (IVMSP TC) promotes and guides the advancement of the field of image, video, and multidimensional signal processing. It provides leadership for the technical programs for ICIP and for the IVMSP-related areas at ICASSP; recruits and volunteers reviewers for ICIP and for the IVMSP-related areas at ICASSP; assists in proposing and organizing ICIP; organizes and operates IVMSP workshops and sessions at ICIP and ICASSP; and participates in a range of other SPS activities.

For our July 2015 issue, we cover recent patents dealing with various applications of adaptive filtering. The section below covers patents granted recently for reducing blocking effect and ringing noise, radio frequency spektrum analysis, filter bank implementation, signal amplifying, low complexity filtering, magnetic fluid analysis, signal canceling and filter representation.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks applications that propose research studies that extend experimental protocols beyond the range of acoustic psychophysical research studies widely performed today. This will require design of algorithms and research studies that validate the potential benefits from these novel approaches to acoustic signal processing.
