The GTTI-SPS Thematic Meeting on Multimedia Signal Processing gathers researchers and professionals in the domain of multimedia signal processing and its applications.
The event offers the participants the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas about scientific achievements, as well as to promote initiatives and encourage the development of the multimedia signal processing community.
GTTI MMSP 2019 is supported by the IEEE Signal Processing Society (Italian Chapter) and by the National Telecommunications and Information Technologies Group (GTTI).
ISPL team was there!
The IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS) is a unique annual event organised by the IEEE Information Forensics and Security (IFS) Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. It is a major forum that brings researchers from related disciplines to discuss emerging challenges in different areas of information security and forensics. This workshop serves to provide a high quality forum for advancing research and development efforts in a range of areas defining e-security and forensics.
The 2018 edition of this workshop was held in Hong Kong. ISPL team was there to present its latest paper [1].

Francesco Picetti is attending the SEG Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, CA, USA! He’s presenting a new Machine Learning paradigm, the Generative Adversarial Network, for processing seimic images.
Paolo Bestagini gave a talk on video forensics at the Institute of Computing (IC) of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) invited by Prof. Anderson Rocha.
Abstract: The recent development of multimedia devices and editing tools, together with the proliferation of video sharing websites, has made the acquisition, alteration, and diffusion of video content relatively easy tasks. As a consequence, it is possible to find more and more video sequences available on the Internet, but each of them has been potentially tampered with by anyone. It is then clear that the development of tools that enable the recovery of past history of video sequences in order to prove their origin and authenticity is more than an urgent necessity. In this talk, we discuss some of the video forensic techniques that have been proposed in the last few years. Specifically, we will focus on blind forensic methods exploiting either model-based or data-driven solutions.
I’m sharing a few thoughts over the code development – research relationship accumulated over the past three years, in the hope these will be helpful to someone else.
Last week our Francesco Picetti has attended the 41st Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing, in Athens. He presented a CNN for landmine detection usign GPR!
