Scott and their former Ph.D. student, Ali Cafer Gurbuz, received this award for their paper titled \u0022Compressive Sensing for Subsurface Imaging Using Ground Penetrating Radar.\u0022\u0026nbsp;Gurbuz received the award on the team\u0027s behalf at the 21st European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO), held in Marrakech, Morocco. Gurbuz graduated with his Ph.D. in 2008 and is now an associate professor with TOBB University of Economics and Technology in Ankara, Turkey.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe paper, published in the October 2009 issue of\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003ESignal Processing\u003C\/em\u003E, presented\u0026nbsp;a novel data acquisition and imaging\u0026nbsp;algorithm for Ground Penetrating Radars (GPR) based on the theory of\u0026nbsp;compressive sensing. For a GPR land-mine detection system, the\u0026nbsp;acquisition can run more than 10 times faster than conventional\u0026nbsp;Nyquist-rate sampling. At the same time, the inversion algorithm based\u0026nbsp;on compressive sensing produces high-quality images of underground\u0026nbsp;objects that are, in many respects, better than standard imaging results.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EA team of researchers from the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering has won the 2013 EURASIP Best Paper Award, the findings of which could lead to better land mine detection methods. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A team of researchers from the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering has won the 2013 EURASIP Best Paper Award, the findings of which could lead to better land mine detection methods."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2013-10-10 16:52:32","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:15:05","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2013-10-14T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2013-10-14T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"55616":{"id":"55616","type":"image","title":"Georgia Tech Tower","body":null,"created":"1449175556","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 20:45:56","changed":"1475894491","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:41:31","alt":"Georgia Tech Tower","file":{"fid":"190336","name":"teu10371.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/teu10371_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/teu10371_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":43266,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/teu10371_0.jpg?itok=c4fQ-iU9"}}},"media_ids":["55616"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=67","title":"James McClellan"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=91","title":"Waymond Scott"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.eusipco2013.org\/","title":"21st European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"130","name":"Alumni"},{"id":"42941","name":"Art Research"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"147","name":"Military Technology"}],"keywords":[{"id":"76721","name":"21st European Signal Processing Conference"},{"id":"76711","name":"Ali Cafer Gurbuz"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"76701","name":"James McClellan"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"76731","name":"TOBB University of Economics and Technology"},{"id":"76691","name":"Waymond Scott"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39481","name":"National Security"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
