The forces that shape this field come from diverse fields. Two very important factors in this area are the consumers and the industry. Th e huge budgets of private firms allow them to attract young and talented e ngineers and this shifts the traditional center of gravity for research an d development from universities to the private firm laboratories. In this talk\, we will point this problem and talk about the possible actions univ ersities can take for research and education using examples from the acous tics and video applications.\n\nAcoustics is a very mature area with sever al interesting applications for Electrical Engineering. There are several advantages and disadvantages of acoustic sensors in comparison to other we ll known sensors such as RF sensors. While acoustic signal processing is r elatively easy\, the nonlinear\, quickly changing behavior of acoustic sce ne in real world\, makes it very hard to deal with acoustic events. In thi s talk\, we will consider a very distinct problem in detection and estimat ion\, namely the acoustic shot detection problem. The use of sonic and sup ersonic wave features is important for the solution of the problem. Yet th e field trials show that the problem is more complex than it is presented in the literature.\n\nVideo is one area that we humans would like to make machines function like we do. Hence today with the advent of new technolog ies like deep learning\, IoT\, etc\, video processing is becoming a more v ital tool in many engineering applications. While it is relatively a strai ghtforward task to do video processing in MATLAB for many applications\, i t is far from anything simple if one tries to do that in real-time. In thi s seminar\, we will talk about the FPGA implementation of video applicatio ns. Especially we will concentrate on the challenges in FPGA programming a s well as its diverse applications in engineering\, including sound camera \, video generation\, multiple camera applications and image blending.\n\n Bio: Temel Engin Tuncer received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical a nd Electronics Engineering from the Middle East Technical University\, Ank ara\, Turkey\, in 1987 and 1989\, respectively\, and the Ph.D. degree in E lectrical Engineering from Boston University\, Boston\, MA\, in 1993. From 1991 to 1993\, he was an Instructor and Adjunct Professor at Boston Unive rsity. He joined the Electronics Engineering Department\, Ankara Universit y\, in 1993. Since 1998\, he has been with Middle East Technical Universit y\, where he is currently a Professor with the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department. His research interests include statistical signal processing\, signal processing for communications\, sensor arrays and arra y signal processing\, beamforming\, multi-antenna and multi-user systems o f cooperative communications\, convex optimization\, direction finding and localization\, antenna and array design\, multichannel systems\, and embe dded systems.\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Engin Tuncer\, \n\nAnkara\, Ankara\, T ürkiye LOCATION:Ankara\, Ankara\, Türkiye ORGANIZER:ozergul@metu.edu.tr SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:IEEE AP/MTT/EMC/ED TURKEY CHAPTER SEMINAR SERIES -- SEMINAR 30 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/172243 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Speaker: Prof. Engin Tuncer\, Middle East Technical University</p>\n<p>Topic:&nbsp\;"Acoustics and Video: Reflection s on Engineering Research and Education"</p>\n<p>Location:&nbsp\;Middle Ea st Technical University\, Ankara\, Turkey</p>\n<p>Abstract: Engineering an d particularly Electrical Engineering is rapidly evolving.
