News and Resources for Members of the IEEE Signal Processing Society

July 2014

The mission of the Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee (IFS TC) is to promote activities within the broad technical areas of information forensics and security. The main activities addressed this year were the outcomes of the first IEEE Image Forensics Challenge, the organization and future organization of the two IFS workshops WIFS’14 and WIFS’15, and the nomination of the next IEEE TIFS Editor in Chief.

The Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) has allocated $40,000 for Member-Driven Initiatives for the 2014 calendar year. The funding is open to all Signal Processing Society members, Chapters and Committees. All proposals must include the involvement of one or more local Chapters to encourage geographic development.

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 Mitra Lab at Cold Spring Harbor is looking to fill a postdoctoral research position, open from June 01 2014, by someone with experience in image processing and analysis.

The “Center for multidisciplinary research on signal processing” (CMRSP) is looking for post-doc candidates.

IIIT-H is a research institute established in 1998, has eight research centers in various areas of electronics and communications engineering and computer science. The institute has plans to strengthen existing research centers and set up new research centers.

In particular, the institute is looking for faculty in broader areas of VLSI/Embedded systems, robotics, signal processing and communications for electronics and communications engineering.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society is accepting proposals for the 2020 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP®). SPS Members are invited to submit a proposal to host ICASSP.

Τhe 6th edition of the International Symposium on Communications, Control, and Signal Processing (ISCCSP 2014) was held during 21-24 May 2014, in Athens, Greece. In addition to regular papers, ISCCSP 2014 included six exciting plenary lectures and many special sessions. About 170 participants gathered from 43 countries around the world to present their recent research results and discuss in a wonderful setting.

For our July 2014 issue, we cover recent patents granted in the area of Lidar based environment perception and modeling. The section below covers patents granted recently for Lidar related signal processing methods focusing on road traffic safety, robotics, radio service availability assessment or image based positioning.
