The Latest News, Articles, and Events in Signal Processing

Eligible Section volunteers can purchase lapel pins and certificates for their members that commemorate select milestones as an IEEE member. Different from the pins that commemorate a certain grade of IEEE membership, these pins are designed to thank and recognize members for their years of membership regardless of grade achievement; this is a great way to recognize members who might not otherwise be engaged, especially early in their IEEE membership tenure.

The IEEE MGA vTools team is happy to announce successful new releases for the following vTools applications: vTools.eNotice: A new vTools application has been released to replace the existing eNotice submission form. Both options will remain available during the month of July as the pilot phase is completed.

2015 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing – Orlando Florida
General Chairs: José M. F. Moura and Dapeng Oliver Wu
Technical Program Chairs: Mihaela van der Schaar, Xiaodong Wang, and Hsiao-Chun Wu

Now IEEE SPS has built a streamlined mechanism for employers to add a job announcement by simply filling in a simple job opportunity submission Web form at the related TC section pages.

The special issue of the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (SPM) in November provides an overview of recent advances in signal processing for communication with an emphasis on signal processing techniques that will be relevant for 5G cellular systems. It covers a wide range of topics including modulation, beamforming, cross-layer optimization based on different performance metrics, location-aware communication, cloud computing, and cloud radio access networks.

In an effort to increase signal processing awareness among the general public, the IEEE Signal Processing Society has created a video to answer, in layman’s terms, the simple question: What is signal processing? Check out the video below to see the many ways in which signal processing technologies surround us in our everyday lives, allowing us to interact with ourselves, one another, and the world.

Accurate identification of people’s pose in video is of great importance. Its applications include gesture-based controls such as Kinect and motion capture systems without markers. New York University researchers recently developed a deep learning architecture using both color and motion features for human pose estimation.

In this series we aim to introduce society members and other experts of the signal processing field by means of interviews. This month, we are happy to present the Dr. Ercan E. Kuruoglu, Senior Researcher from ISTI-CNR Pisa, Italy.

The Design and Implementation of Signal Processing Systems Technical Committee has the mission to promote and support activities of the IEEE Signal Processing Society in the areas of: i) design, development and implementation of signal processing systems; ii) design of algorithms with implementation in mind and iii) design of software tools and methodologies to support the design of signal processing systems.

The Bio Imaging and Signal Processing (BIPS) Technical Committee updates this month on awards, past and future competitions and more

Dear Members,

- Are you an IEEE member, IEEE student member, IEEE graduate student member or IEEE young professional member?

- Do you know one or more 12-18 year old students from within your family, friendship circle, or local school who is
interested in engineering, computing, or technology?

- Do you want to help students inspire others to learn more about these disciplines by creating an animation?

IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership of the IEEE. It honors members with an outstanding record of technical achievements, contributing importantly to the advancement or application of engineering, science and technology, and bringing significant value to society. Around this time (end of November), the new class of IEEE Fellows is announced. Hopefully, the list contains many names familiar to you. If not, then perhaps it is a good idea to nominate someone yourself!

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) appointed several new Chairs for committees that report to the Membership Board. The appointments are as follows:

For our November 2014 issue, we cover recent patents granted in the area of Signal Processing for Big Data. The section below covers patents granted recently for system security, storage management, portable audio synthesis, parallel signal processing and securing secret of users.

Le An, (University of California, Riverside) “Real-World Person Identification”(2014) Advisor: Bir Bhanu

Das, Jnaneshwar (University of Southern California) “Data-driven Robotic Sampling for Marine Ecosystem Monitoring” Advisor: Sukhatme, Gaurav S. (2014)

The following SPS Distinguished lectures will be held in the upcoming months
