December 2016

The GlobalSIP2017 team is inviting Symposium proposals. It will be held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on November 14-16, 2017. As a relatively new signal processing society conference, GlobalSIP2017 has a format different from ICASSP and ICIP. It focuses on signal and information processing with the intent of encouraging industry participation and embracing hot or emerging research trends.

The invention of the automobile has transformed how people live, work, and interact in society. How will signal processing advance today’s vehicles into “smart” cars that are able to think and contribute to the task of operating a vehicle? The December 2016 issue of the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine provides a venue for summarizing, educating, and sharing the state of the art in signal processing applied to the domain of automotive systems.

Android is the most popular mobile operating system with a market share of over 80%. Due to its popularity and also its open source nature, Android is now the platform most targeted by malware, creating an urgent need for effective defense mechanisms to protect Android-enabled devices.

For our December 2016 issue, we cover recent patents dealing with point cloud processing, including point cloud segmentation, mesh generation, point cloud registration and object separation.
