Martin Vetterli - Abstract
Sampling is a central topic not just in signal processing and communications, but in all fields where the world is analog, but computation is digital. This includes sensing, simulating, and rendering the real world. The question of sampling is very simple: when is there a one-to-one relationship between a continuous-time function and adequately acquired samples of this function?
Sampling has a rich history, dating back to Whittaker, Nyquist, Kotelnikov, Shannon and others, and is an active area of contemporary research with fascinating new results. The classic result of sampling is the one on bandlimited functions, where taking measurements at the Nyquist rate (or twice the maximum bandwidth) is sufficient for perfect reconstruction. These results were extended to shift-invariant subspaces and multiscale spaces during the development of wavelets, as well as in the context of splines. All these methods are based on subspace structures, and on linear approximation.
Recently, non-linear methods have appeared. Non-linear approximation in wavelet spaces has been shown to be a powerful approximation and compression method. This points to the idea that functions that are sparse in a basis (but not necessarily on a fixed subspace) can be represented efficiently.
The idea is even more general than sparsity in a basis, as pointed out in the framework of signals with finite rate of innovation. Such signals are non-bandlimited continuous-time signals, but with a parametric representation having a finite number of degrees of freedom per unit of time. This leads to sharp results on sampling and reconstruction of such sparse continuous-time signals, namely that 2K measurements are necessary and sufficient to perfectly reconstruct a K-sparse continuous-time signal. In accordance with the principle of parsimony, we call this sampling at Occam's rate. We indicate an order K^3 algorithm for reconstruction, and describe the solution when noise is present, or the model is only approximately true.
Next, we consider the connection to compressed sensing and compressive sampling, a recent approach involving random measurement matrices. This is a discrete time, finite dimensional set up, with strong results on possible recovery by relaxing the l_0 into l_1 optimization, or using greedy algorithms. These methods have the advantage of unstructured measurement matrices (actually, typically random ones) and therefore a certain universality, at the cost of some redundancy. We compare the two approaches, highlighting differences, similarities, and respective advantages.
Finally, we move to applications of these results, which cover wideband communications, noise removal, distributed sampling, and super-resolution imaging, to name a few. In particular, we describe a recent result on multichannel sampling with unknown shifts, which leads to an efficient super-resolution imaging method.

Inald Lagendijk - Abstract
I will discuss the problems, principles and examples of protecting the privacy of users in multimedia applications. Some multimedia applications pose serious privacy threats for their users as they rely on privacy-sensitive information that can be misused. To protect the privacy of users, an emerging paradigm shows that it is attractive and feasible to combine signal processing and cryptography. The focus is on those applications that are executed remotely or “in the cloud”, such as on-line recommendation services (amazon.com, Google.com) but also face-recognition systems. The new and exciting research area of privacy-preserving signal processing aims at making privacy-sensitive data of the user of such multimedia applications inaccessible by means of encryption. Although it is then impossible for the service provider to access directly the content of the encrypted data without the decryption key, the service provider can still process the data under encryption to perform the required task. The protocols to process the encrypted data are designed by using cryptographic primitives like homomorphic cryptosystems and secure multiparty computation techniques. I describe a number of examples that show solutions for privacy-preserving signal processing, including privacy-preserving face recognition and secure clustering.
Inald Lagendijk - Short CV
Inald Lagendijk is full professor in the field of multimedia signal processing at TU Delft, and holds the chair of Information and Communication Theory. The fundamental question that he is interested in, is how multimedia information (images, video, audio) can be represented such that it is not only efficient in communication bandwidth or storage capacity, but that it is also easily identified when stored in large volumes (video libraries, internet) or transmitted over networks (e.g. P2P networks), that it is robust against errors when transmitted, that it can be protected against unauthorized usage, and that it has a good (audio-visual) quality. Research projects he is currently involved in cover subjects such as multimedia content security (fingerprinting, watermarking, secure signal processing), multimedia information retrieval, and (wireless) multi-media communications. In the past he was involved in research on image sequence restoration and enhancement, and video compression. Professor Lagendijk is member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), and he is a Fellow of the IEEE (for Contributions to Image Processing).

Jens Blauert - Abstract
The human binaural system, although using input from only two sensors, spaced about 14 cm apart, has a number of astonishing capabilities, such as precise localization of sound sources, analysis of auditory scenes and segregation of auditory streams, suppression of reverberance, noise and coloration, enhancement of desired talkers against undesired ones, providing spatial impression and the sense of immersion. To mimic these capabilities technologically, models of the binaural system using digital signal processing have been built and are constantly being improved. Modern models have a bottom-up, signal- driven part, complemented by a hypothesis-driven, top-down part.
The bottom-up part typically contains the following modules: external ears, middle ears and cochleae – further, modules for monaural pre-processing and subsequent binaural processing. The output of the bottom-up part is usually conceptualized as a binaural activity map, which may physiologically be situated at midbrain level. While the bottom-up part evaluates sound fields regarding the positions and the perceptual attributes of sounds, it takes further processing steps to assign meaning to the binaural activities. To this end a transition from signal processing to symbol processing, following a process of object building, has to be accomplished. Finally, the sets of symbols have to be interpreted by cognitive processes.
In this presentation, the current state of the art of models of binaural hearing will be reviewed and their potential regarding practical application will be discussed. Generic application areas are, for example, aural virtual environments, hearing aids, assessment of product-sound quality, room acoustics, speech technology, audio technology, robotic ears and tool for research into auditory physiology and perception. The talk will relate to activities of AABBA, an open international circle of researchers with a special interest in the application of binaural models.

Björn Ottersten - Abstract
To meet the competition from terrestrial communication networks, innovative and cost efficient applications and services provided by satellite systems must evolve. Satellite broadcast services provide an unprecedented coverage at low cost. A wide range of satellite communication applications can be envisioned included multimedia delivery, traffic information, fleet management, software downloads, and public safety communications etc. The commercial success of such services requires reliable and secure delivery to a wide range of users. This in turn poses technical challenges requiring diversity techniques introducing redundancy in time, polarization and space.
We discuss some challenges in designing novel systems which combine information from multiple cooperating satellites and/or terrestrial transmitters attempting to minimize latency and transceiver complexity. Advanced transmission and reception schemes based on interference rejection and multi-user detection allow increased spectral efficiency, higher throughput, more reliable communication, small dish antennas etc. Cooperative transmission and reception techniques based on Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) communications allow reliable provisioning of two-way broadband, interactive and mobile applications in satellite systems. Ground based beamforming techniques can be applied to adapt and tailor transmission based on traffic and user requirements.
