Signal Processing, Sensor/Information Fusion, and Target Recognition XXXIV

This conference addresses advances in all aspects of systems and algorithms used in all levels of information fusion. This conference encourages a range of issues pertinent to the target presence/recognition, such as signal/image data processing, exploitation, and dissemination; feature extraction and tracking; multisensor/data/information fusion; resource management, processing and computational complexity, decision-making and human’s role, and deployment image compression, compressive sensing, and processor architectures. Defense, security as well as dual-use and commercial applications of the acquisition, signal processing, and information fusion problems will be considered.

Papers are solicited, but not limited to, the following and related topics:

• multisensor and multisource information fusion
• data registration and compression
• signal processing, filtering, and analysis
• image processing and (target) detection, recognition, and classification
• Bayesian, fuzzy logic, and evidential reasoning and techniques
• entropy, complex theory, and random sets
• tracking and sensor/data fusion methods and architectures
• deep machine learning and AI multimodal methods
• situation/threat assessment and intent modeling
• adaptive, robust, and knowledge-based resource management
• distributed Information fusion, communications, and networking
• physics-based and human-derived information fusion (aka hard and soft)
• context-enhanced information fusion for complex environments
• human-computer interface and social/cultural, cognitive and behavioral modeling
• dynamic data driven applications systems with big data analytics
• measures-of-performance, effectiveness, and usability
• systems engineering evaluation methods for verification and validation
• predictive and proactive data analytics
• computational and optimization techniques
• quantum information processing to support sensing and networking
• smart cities, autonomous cars, multimedia, logistics, and surveillance
• coordination of cyber physical systems (CPS) and internet-of-things (IoT)
• biomedical, agricultural, social, and industrial systems
• multisensor and multisource information fusion implementation issues
• commercial applications of multisource information fusion.

In addition, this conference plans to host in an invited panel composed of internationally recognized experts.
