SPS Fellows and Award Winners Recognized

n this column of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, 47 IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) members are
recognized as IEEE Fellows and award
recipients are announced.

47 SPS members elevated to Fellow
Each year, the IEEE Board of Directors
confers the grade of Fellow on up to onetenth of 1% of the Members. To qualify
for consideration, an individual must have
been a Member, normally for five years
or more, and a Senior Member at the time
of nomination to Fellow. The grade of
Fellow recognizes unusual distinction in
IEEE's designated fields.
The SPS congratulates the following
47 SPS members who were recognized
with the grade of Fellow as of 1 January
2017.
Raviraj Adve, Toronto, Canada, for development of signal processing techniques
for airborne radar.
Sos Agaian, San Antonio, Texas, for
contributions to biologically inspired visual data processing systems.
