The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Publications group is pleased to announce the launch of the IEEE SPS Author Survey. This automated survey is being delivered to the corresponding authors when their articles are final and published on IEEE Xplore®. 

Check back on the SPS website to keep up-to-date on upcoming Seasonal Schools! Are you looking to energize signal processing students, early stage researchers, and industry practitioners in your area? Consider hosting a Seasonal School for young engineers near you!

This year the Signal Processing Society identified 16 Chapters who exhibited excellence in many facets of chapter management, member recruitment, and activities.

Can you find ships on satellite images as quickly as possible? Airbus just announced a Kaggle competition to challenge researchers to build a model that detects all ships in satellite images. The goal is to increase the accuracy and speed of automatic ship detection.

In recent years, the complexity of designing embedded signal processing systems for wireless communications has increased significantly based on the need to support increasing levels of operational flexibility and adaptivity, while also supporting increasing data rates and bandwidths.

This dissertation focuses on statistical signal processing theory and its applications to radar, complex-valued signal processing and model selection.

The Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee (MMSP-TC) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, which is the organizer of the MMSP workshop, invites proposals for the 2020 workshop edition. The primary aim of the MMSP workshop is to promote the advancement of multimedia signal processing research and technology with special emphasis on the interaction, coordination, synchronization, and joint processing of multimodal signals.

In 2017, four of the Society’s Major Awards were renamed after a proposal by the Awards Board. The name changes we officially approved by all parties earlier in 2018 and will be put into effect for the 2018 awards cycle.  The new award titles are noted below.
