S ensor Signal Processing for Defence 2011 (SSPD 2011)

Organised by UDRC in Signal Processing
Sponsored by the U.K. Ministry of Defence (MOD)

27-29 September, 2011 @ Imperial College London, UK


IMPORTANT DATES

  • Paper Submission Deadline: June 1, 2011
  • Paper Submission Deadline Extended: June 24, 2011
  • Notification of Acceptance: July 24, 2011
  • Notification of Acceptance Extended: August 4, 2011
  • Camera-Ready Submissions: September 14, 2011
  • Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Array Signal Processing
  • Radar, Sonar and Audio Signal Processing
  • Signal Processing for Security
  • Multimodal Signal Processing
  • Sensor Fusion
  • Image and Video Classification
  • Distributed Signal Processing for Wireless Sensor Networks
  • Signal Processing for Communications
  • In all these topics, emphasis of the Conference is given on the following areas that play a substantial role in improving the performance of defence systems:

  • Sensor Array Calibration: Signal processing technologies that allow sensor arrays to be calibrated or recalibrated whilst in-use to compensating for variations in both the positions and the electronic characteristics of the sensors all of which can change with time.
  • Broadband Signal Processing: Signal processing that separates broadband signals received at a sensor array into the signals from individual targets, enabling correct Detection, Classification and Localisation (DCL) of multiple simultaneous targets.
  • Detection: Signal processing technologies that detect when received signals contain contributions from a target, particularly against a background of clutter (or reverberation) and interference.
  • Classification: Signal processing technologies that identify or categorise targets.
  • Superresolution Direction Finding & Localisation: Signal processing technologies that yield more accurate target bearing estimates (and, where relevant, range estimates) than conventional localisation techniques, in particular when targets are close together in angle and/or range.
  • Multipath Mitigation: Signal processing technologies that enable the Detection, Classification and Localisation (DCL) of targets in the presence of multipath - as multipath can render classic DCL systems ineffective.
  • SWAP: Signal processing technologies that enable the use of sensor hardware of reduced size, weight and power (SWAP).
  • Non-Stationary Processing: Signal processing technologies which enable the DCL of fleeting or rapidly manoeuvring targets, or using non-rigid sensor arrays.
