ICIP 2026, in collaboration with the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Education Board, is offering ETON Talks at the conference. This program consists of lectures that offer an overview of significant advancements and emerging topics in signal processing. The Expert-to-Non-Expert Talk (ETON) series is designed for both students and industry professionals to bridge knowledge gaps. These lectures are delivered by the original inventors or leading experts in the field, providing valuable insights and fostering a deeper understanding of cutting-edge developments.
ETON talk proposals are invited in the broader areas of image processing, imaging, and vision, covering theory, methods, systems, and applications. An extended list of conference topics of interest can found at https://2026.ieeeicip.org/topics/.

Duration: 1 hour in-person presentation.
Target Audience: 1) students, 2) researchers from universities or research labs/centers and industry, and/or 3) signal processing engineers and practitioners from industry.
Availability: ETON talks will only be available for in person attendance and the presenters are required to deliver the talks in person during ICIP 2026 with no virtual components. All ETON talks will be recorded for potential future use.
