IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine - April 2017 - 3

Notes from the Editor

Deep Learning Can Be Crucial
for Smart Consumer Electronics
By Saraju P. Mohanty

would like to introduce the current
issue with the announcement of a couple of items of good news. First, IEEE
Consumer Electronics Magazine is
now indexed in DBLP. I think this will
enhance this publication's visibility. In
effect, it may attract a wider variety of
authors from the computer science and
computer engineering fields. Second,
three members of the IEEE Consumer
Electronics (CE) Society were recently
awarded the title of IEEE Fellow. The
three members and their contributions to
CE are as follows:
▼▼ Petronel Bigioi for leadership in advancing digital-imaging technology
for handheld consumer devices
▼▼ Michael Isnardi for contributions to
compliance testing and vision-based
video-compression technologies
▼▼ Shaomin Peng for contributions to
scalable video-decoding methods in
the MPEG2 standard.
Please join me in congratulating them for
their noteworthy honor and achievements.
