Special issue on speech separation and recognition in multisource environments

One of the chief difficulties of building distant-microphone speech recognition systems for use in `everyday' applications is that the noise background is typically `multisource'. A speech recognition system designed to operate in a family home, for example, must contend with competing noise from televisions and radios, children playing, vacuum cleaners, and outdoors noises from open windows. D...

Special Issue on Human Detection and Recognition

W ITH A very security-conscious society, biomet-rics-based authentication and identification have become one of the key technologies for many important applications. It is generally believed that biometrics can provide the necessary accuracy and reliability for applications, such as access control. Biometrics research and technology continue to mature rapidly, driven by pressing industrial and ...

Guest Editorial Introduction To The Special Issue On Automatic Target Detection And Recognition

AUTOMATIC target recognition (ATR) generally refers to the autonomous or aided target detection and recognition by computer processing of data from a variety of sensors such as forward looking infrared (FLIR), synthetic aperture radar (SAR), inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR), laser radar (LADAR), millimeter wave (MMW) radar, multispectral/hyperspectral sensors, low-light television (LLTV)...

Special issue on automatic application tuning for HPC architectures

High Performance Computing architectures have become incredibly complex and exploiting their full potential is becoming more and more challenging. As a consequence, automatic performance tuning (autotuning) of HPC applications is of growing interest and many research groups around the world are currently involved. Autotuning is still a rapidly evolving research field with many different approac...
