Mission

The mission of the SenSIP Industry Consortium is to perform use-inspired research and train students in sensor and information systems, digital signal and image processing, wireless communications, networks, and multimedia.

Applications addressed include information processing, software systems, integrated sensing, biomedicine and genomics, defense and homeland security, sustainability and environmental technologies, speech/audio processing and telephony, imaging and video systems, low power realizations, real-time implementations, smart stages and interactive media, and vehicular sensing.

Synopsis

The objective of the Sensor Signal and Information Processing (SenSIP) Industry Consortium is to develop a research and education partnership with local and national industry. This partnership will focus on the development of new signal/information processing algorithms, tools, and software for integrated sensor systems. The primary objective will be the development of new methods for extracting, parameterizing, transmitting, and classifying information from heterogeneous sensors and sensor networks. The faculty involved in SenSIP have a track record of funded programs in areas associated with the theoretical aspects of the SenSIP mission and are actively establishing industry collaborations that promote cutting-edge application-driven research in these areas. The SenSIP Industry Consortium is collaborative and includes two other university sites, namely, Georgia Tech and Drexel university. The theme of the center aligns well with the economic security of the three states involved and of the nation in general. The creation of intellectual property and trained workforce from this program will contribute to several important state initiatives including biomedical, sustainability, defense, and border control. Some specific application-driven problems to be examined include

  • detection and tracking algorithms for sensors

  • source localization with microphone arrays

  • motion detection with camera array sensors

  • algorithms for waveform design for radar and sonar sensors

  • sensor information processing for intrusion and border security

  • signal processing for biological and chemical sensors

  • information and decision networks for sensor arrays

  • acoustic scene characterization
