SIP 2007 is an international forum for researchers and practitioners interested in the advances in and applications of signal and image processing. It is an opportunity to present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas. SIP 2007 aims to strengthen relationships between companies, research laboratories, and universities.

SIP 2007 is sponsored by the International Association of Science and Technology for Development (IASTED), with the assistance of:

• Technical Committee on Image Processing
• Technical Committee on Signal Processing

In cooperation with the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP)

Dr. Rui J.P. de Figueiredo is a Research Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). Professor de Figueiredo's numerous honors include: the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Life Fellow, and the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) Golden Jubilee Medal.

"Compressive Sensing" will be presented by Dr. Emmanuel J. Candes from the California Institute of Technology, USA is the SIP 2007 keynote speaker.
