News and Resources for Members of the IEEE Signal Processing Society

August 2018

Big data is becoming an increasingly decisive resource in modern societies, economies, and governmental organizations. Big Data is an emerging paradigm encompassing various kinds of complex and large scale information beyond the processing capability of conventional software and databases. Various technologies are being discussed

The IEEE Signal Processing Society continues to track emerging technical areas. As a result, the Society has decided to create two new SPS Technical Interest Profile (TIP) Code categories in the fields of Data Science and Autonomous Systems to keep pace with the expanding technical disciplines.

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 related to a particular TC field. To submit job announcements for a particular Technical Committee, the submission form can be found by visiting the page below and selecting a particular TC. Visit the SPS Job Submission Form.

Please refer to the following webpage for the latest updates on upcoming conferences in Signal Processing. Listing of all conferences

The Signal Processing Society (SPS) has 12 Technical Committees and 3 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that support a broad selection of signal processing-related activities defined by the scope of the Society.

IEEE SPS Distinguished LecturerDr. Wing-Kin (Ken) Ma, gave a talk on “Hyperspectral Unmixing in Remote Sensing: Insights and Beyond.” The lecture, which included Machine Learning, was held on 14 June 2018 for the SPS German Chapter at Technischen Universität Darmstadt. The talk was hosted and moderated by Marius Pesavento and Gerald Enzner.

For our August 2018 issue, we cover recent patents granted in the area of Lidar based scene analysis. Patent no. 10,031,231 presents an object-detection system suitable for an automated vehicle which includes a lidar and a controller. The lidar is used to detect a point-cloud that is organized into a plurality of scan-lines. 

Your vote is important! On 15 August, the election of Regional Directors-at-Large for Regions 1-6 and 8 (the term is 1 January 2019 through 31 December 2020) and Members-at-Large (term 1 January 2019 through 31 December 2021) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Board of Governors (BoG) will be open.

Please visit the Conferences and Events page on the IEEE Signal Processing Society website for Upcoming Lectures by Distinguished Lecturers.

The SPS Awards Board is now accepting nominations for all Society level awards, from paper awards to the major society awards. Nominations are due by 1 September 2018. Nominators should take into consideration the need for representation of diversity in the award nomination slate, when submitting their nominations.
