IEEE has announced the 2027 IEEE Technical Field Award recipients. Seven IEEE Signal Processing Society members have been recognized with an IEEE Technical Field Award:

• The IEEE Leon K. Kirchmayer Graduate Teaching Award was presented to Rama Chellappa “for contributions to multi-disciplinary graduate education and mentoring of doctoral students in image processing, computer vision, and pattern recognition.”
   
• The IEEE Eric E. Sumner Award was presented to Gerhard Paul Fettweis “for contributions to physical-layer communication technology that have had an impact on the global wireless industry.”
   
• The IEEE Kiyo Tomiyasu Award was presented to Yun Raymond Fu “for contributions to computer vision and augmented human-machine interaction.”
   
• The IEEE James L. Flanagan Speech and Audio Processing Award was presented to Chin-Hui Lee “for contributions to and leadership in technologies that enable automatic speech and speaker recognition, including innovations in adaptive learning and discriminative training.”
   
• The IEEE Arun N. Netravali Video Analytics, Technology, and Systems Award was presented to Jens-Rainer Ohm, and Gary J. Sullivan “for leadership in and contributions to developing the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) international standard, which improves the efficiency of digital video compression.”
   
• The IEEE Fourier Award for Signal Processing was presented to Nicholas Dimitrios Sidiropoulos “for contributions to signal processing methods for analyzing complex data and identifying patterns in multiple dimensions.”
