18 Signal Processing Society Members Elevated to Senior Member

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) is honored to announce the elevation of 18 of its members to the grade of IEEE Senior Member. These members have demonstrated outstanding professional performance, exhibited professional maturity through long-term experience, and established themselves as leaders in their respective IEEE-designated fields of interest. Senior Member is the only membership grade that is eligible to be nominated for IEEE Fellow. The new Senior Members of the IEEE Signal Processing Society are:

Yang, Fan. (University of Maryland, College Park), “Leveraging Multiple Features for Image Retrieval and Matching” (2016)

Yang, Fan. (University of Maryland, College Park), “Leveraging Multiple Features for Image Retrieval and Matching” (2016) Advisor: Davis, Larry S. The goal of image retrieval and matching is to find and locate object instances in images from a large-scale image database. While visual features are abundant, how to combine them to improve performance by individual features remains a challenging task.

Simpkins, Jonathan (University of Notre Dame), “Modeling, approximation, and estimation of spatially-varying blur in photographic systems” (2016)

Simpkins, Jonathan (University of Notre Dame), “Modeling, approximation, and estimation of spatially-varying blur in photographic systems” (2016) Advisor: Stevenson, Robert L. Several image restoration and analysis approaches, such as deconvolution, superresolution, and depth-from-defocus, require an accurate representation of the photographic blurring process.
