Preface

It is indeed our pleasure and honor to serve as the program chairman of the Second International Conference on Signal Processing, Image Processing and VLSI (ICrtSIV- 2015). This conference is planned to provide a platform for researchers, scientists and scholars both from academia and industries where they can discuss and exchange their research thoughts to have better research plans particularly in the field of signal processing, image processing and VLSI.

There has been overwhelming response from the researchers for original research papers. There were 275 papers submitted, out of which we could finalize 152 papers. All papers submitted have been thoroughly reviewed by referees who are experts in the related fields. We have adopted various tracks for selecting the papers for the conference. Some of the major tracks are 1. Digital signal processing 2. Signal processing for communication 3. Multi dimensional processing 4.Multimedia signal processing 5.Speech processing 6.DSP implementations and embedded systems 7.Image processing 8.Medical image processing 9.Image coding and compression 10. Face recognition 11. 3-D and surface reconstruction 12.Computer vision application 13.Video processing 14. VLSIverification, mixed VLSI design and low power VLSI 15. New concepts and breakthrough in VLSI processors and devices including memory, Logic, I/O, RF, Analog, mixed Signal, High-voltage, Imager and MEMS. 16. New concepts and technologies for VLSI manufacturing 17. Advanced lithography and fine-patterning technologies for high-density VLSI. Based on the referee‘s reports, the overall acceptance is about 55%. All the papers were relevant to the respective fields. We hope that you will appreciate the conference program and quality of the paper published in the proceedings.

It is because of the good response from the research community and the sincere efforts put in by the reviewers to support us with timely reviews, we could make this conference a success though it was launched with a relatively short notice. We thank our associate editors (track chairs) for their painstaking exertions in getting the review process done through identifying suitable reviewers. We also acknowledge the contributors for their interest. We sincerely appreciate Mr. K. Murugesh, Asst. Professor and the Student - Mr. Nithin N S ofour college for all the support he have rendered in creating and maintaining the conference website. We are grateful to all the committee coordinators of the conference, for attending to all the jobs assigned to them on time. We thank the members of the various committees for their support. Our special thanks to Dr. P S Satyanarayana, Professor, ECEfor all the support to this conference. We are thankful to publisher RPS, USA (a division of IDES) and Crossref for bringing out this publication. We strongly believe that you will find this conference to be very helpful for your future research.
