The International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) is the premier forum for the presentation of technological advances and research results in the fields of theoretical, experimental, and applied image and video processing. ICIP-2010 will be held in Hong Kong on 26-29 September 2010. Thanks to the strong support of the IEEE Signal Processing Society and the commercial and industrial sectors in Hong Kong, the ICIP 2010 Organizing Committee is pleased to announce that a number of travel grants will be available for ICIP2010 participants.

Max Nikias, a prominent member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, will become USC's next president, succeeding Steven B. Sample on Aug. 3, 2010 at the helm of the 34,000-student university.

The Sensor Array and Multichannel (SAM) Technical Committee (TC) addresses the areas of sensor array and multi-channel statistical signal processing. The committee interests span the areas of signal detection and estimation, direction-of-arrival estimation, beamforming, blind source separation, source localization and tracking, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems and space-time coding, sensor networks, and multichannel signal processing. Our main application areas are focused on radar, sonar, wireless communications, microphone array processing, navigation, seismology, radio astronomy, and biomedicine.
