Scope

The IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (TIFS) covers the sciences, technologies, and applications relating to information forensics, information security, biometrics, surveillance and systems applications that incorporate these features.

Activity Update from the IFS-TC

The Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee (IFS TC) reports on the 2016 Signal Processing Cup, the election of societal awards and the organization of the next WIFS'16 workshop.

Google's Free Online Course on Deep Learning

Google is offering an online course on deep learning for free. The course is available through Udacity, a for-profit educational organization offering massive open online courses (MOOCs). It is estimated to take about three months to complete and assumes basic machine learning knowledge as prerequisite.

Chacko, Nikhil (University of California, Santa Barbara), “Spatio-Temporal Reconstruction Techniques for Optical Microscopy” (2015)

Chacko, Nikhil (University of California, Santa Barbara), “Spatio-Temporal Reconstruction Techniques for Optical Microscopy” (2015), Advisor: Michael Liebling Optical microscopy offers the unique possibility to study living samples under conditions akin to their native state. However, the technique is not void of inherent problems such as optical blur due to light diffraction, contamination with out-of-focus light from adjacent focal planes, and spherical aberrations.
