The Latest News, Articles, and Events in Signal Processing

IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security

Modern integrated circuits (ICs) require a complex, outsourced supply-chain, involving computer-aided design (CAD) tools, expert knowledge, and advanced foundries. This complexity has led to various security threats, such as Trojans inserted by adversaries during outsourcing, but also run-time threats like physical probing. Our proposed design-time solution, DEFense , is an extensible CAD framework for holistic assessment and proactive mitigation of multiple prominent threats.

IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security

Aggregating metadata in the ciphertext field is an attractive property brought by homomorphic encryption (HE) for privacy-sensitive computing tasks, therefore, research on the next-generation wireless networks has treated it as one of the promising cryptographic techniques for various scenarios. However, existing schemes are far from being deployed in various computing scenarios due to their high computational complexity and ciphertext expansion, especially for bandwidth-limited and latency-sensitive wireless scenarios.

IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security

The deep learning-based profiling attacks have received significant attention for their potential against masking-protected devices. Currently, additional capabilities like exploiting only a segment of the side-channel traces or having knowledge of the specific countermeasure scheme have been granted to attackers during the profiling phase. In case either capability is removed, a practical profiling attack faces great difficulty and complexity. 

IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing

Noise mitigation proves to be a challenging task for active noise control in the existence of nonlinearities. In such environments, functional link neural network (FLN) and adaptive exponential FLN techniques improve the performance of distributed active noise control systems. Nonlinear spline approaches are well known for their low computational complexity and ability to effectively alleviate noise in nonlinear systems.

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has great potential to improve the performance of integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems, especially in scenarios where line-of-sight paths between the base station and users are blocked. However, the spectral efficiency (SE) of RIS-aided ISAC uplink transmissions may be drastically reduced by the heavy burden of pilot overhead for realizing sensing capabilities.

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing

In this article, we propose a novel complex convolutional neural network (CNN) CSI enhancer for integrated sensing and communications (ISAC), which exploits the correlation between the sensing parameters (such as angle-of-arrival and range) and the channel state information (CSI) to significantly improve the CSI estimation accuracy and further enhance the sensing accuracy.

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing

This paper proposes a Model-Based Online Learning (MBOL) framework for waveform optimization in integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) systems. In particular, the MBOL framework is proposed to enhance the ISAC performance under dynamic environmental conditions. Unlike Model-Free Online Learning (MFOL) methods, our approach leverages a rich structural knowledge of sensing, communications, and radio environments, offering better explainability and sample efficiency.

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing

Signal processing techniques have played a pivotal role in the early development of joint sensing and communication systems [1]. These efforts were driven by the need to address spectrum scarcity and to reduce hardware size and cost. Initially focused on dual-function radar-communication systems, this field has since evolved into the broader paradigm of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC).

IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging

We introduce ICE-TIDE, a method for cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET) that simultaneously aligns observations and reconstructs a high-resolution volume. The alignment of tilt series in cryo-ET is a major problem limiting the resolution of reconstructions. ICE-TIDE relies on an efficient coordinate-based implicit neural representation of the volume which enables it to directly parameterize deformations and align the projections.

IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a widely used imaging technique, however it has the limitation of long scanning time. Though previous model-based and learning-based MRI reconstruction methods have shown promising performance, most of them have not fully utilized the edge prior of MR images, and there is still much room for improvement.

IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging

While snapshot hyperspectral cameras are cheaper and faster than imagers based on pushbroom or whiskbroom spatial scanning, the output imagery from a snapshot camera typically has different spectral bands mapped to different spatial locations in a mosaic pattern, requiring a demosaicing process to be applied to generate the desired hyperspectral image with full spatial and spectral resolution.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) will hold a Special Election to fill the vacant President-Elect position, which will open on 6 February 2025 and close on 26 March 2025.

IEEE Signal Processing Letters

We consider the problem of recovering off-the-grid spikes from linear measurements in the context of Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM). State of the art model-based methods such as Over-Parametrized Continuous Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OP-COMP) with Projected Gradient Descent (PGD) have been shown to successfully recover those signals.

Single-satellite geolocation achieves effective localization of ground electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals with a low cost compared to the multi-satellite counterparts. In such systems, the Doppler and Doppler rate are commonly exploited to extract the information of the ground EMI sources and the constrained Unscented Kalman filter (cUKF) is found effective to provide instantaneous EMI locations over time. 

IEEE Signal Processing Letters

Scene-Text Visual Question Answering (STVQA) is a comprehensive task that requires reading and understanding the text in images to answer the question. Existing methods of exploring the vision-language relationships between questions, images, and scene text have achieved impressive results. However, these studies heavily rely on auxiliary modules, such as external OCR systems and object detection networks, making the question-answering process cumbersome and highly dependent.
