SIPL Annual Event 2020


We are delighted to invite you to the 30th SIPL Annual Event.
SIPL’s Annual Event is a technical symposium focused on signal processing and its applications.

The Signal and Image Processing Lab (SIPL) was established 45 years ago at the Electrical Engineering Faculty of the Technion. It has been since active in research and teaching in a wide range of signal processing topics with many dozens of graduate students over the years and over 50 undergraduate projects each year – many of them in collaboration with industry.
The event highlights SIPL’s activities over the past year with invited talks, presentations, posters, and demos. This year, for the first time, we are excited to announce that SIPL’s Annual Event is reimagined as a virtual symposium, bigger and better than ever.

The symposium will be held on Wednesday, July 1st , 2020.
