Researchers from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Tencent, and Johns Hopkins University have developed a tool that automatically adds, removes, or modifies facial features of a person in an image. 

The SPS Chapter Certification Program has been reviewed and updated during ICASSP 2018. Certified Chapters will now receive expanded benefits during the 4-year period the certification is valid.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) invites nominations for the position of Awards Board Chair. The term for the Awards Board Chair position will be three years (1 January 2019-31 December 2021).

he 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.

The standard methods to authenticate a computer or a network user, which typically occur once at the initial log-in, suffer from a variety of vulnerabilities such as masquerading and potential system compromise. An effective solution to this one-time authentication problem is the continuous authentication using behavioral biometrics. 

Patent no. 9,959,455 presents a system for facial recognition comprising at least one processor; at least one input operatively connected to the at least one processor; a database configured to store three-dimensional facial image data comprising facial feature coordinates in a predetermined common plane;
