Signal Processing Between Theory and Applications
A high impact of research on societal development is fundamental, and signal processing has a lot to offer to achieve this goal. Our highest mandate of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (SPM) is first-class publications as feature articles, special issue articles, or in columns and forums. As the EIC of SPM, Prof. Abdelhak Zoubir would like to encourage more colleagues to get involved and participate; SPM welcomes your suggestions for timely and most interesting topics for special issues, feature articles, or columns.
SPS TC Jobs Marketplace
Now 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 at the related TC section pages.
To submit job announcements for a particular Technical Committee, the submission form can be found by visiting the page below and clicking on a particular TC. A link for the form can be found in the sidebar menu of the TC pages.
Fanyu Kong (Michigan Technological University), “Automatic Food Intake Assessment Using Camera Phones” (2012)
Fanyu Kong (Michigan Technological University), “Automatic Food Intake Assessment Using Camera Phones”, Advisor: Jindong Tan (2012)
In this thesis, an automatic food intake assessment method using cameras, inertial measurement units (IMUs) on smart phones was developed to help people foster a healthy life style.
Deadline Approaching: Chapter of the Year Award Nominations
The IEEE Signal Processing Society Chapter of the Year Award will be presented for the second time in 2013. The award will be presented annually to a Chapter that has provided their membership with the highest quality of programs, activities and services. The award will be presented annually in conjunction with the International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) to the Chapter's representative. The award will consist of a certificate and a check in the amount of $1,000 to support local chapter activities.
New Developments in Signal Processing Society Publications
This is a time of rapid changes in the publication world, with the opportunities that electronic publishing generates. Taking advantage of these changes, the IEEE Signal Processing Society staff and volunteers are looking for ways to better serve their authors and readers. In addition, the IEEE is also more broadly pursuing innovations in content delivery. As SPS Vice President-Publications, I would therefore like to alert you to the advances that are already in place and developments to look for in the future.
