Teaching Digital Signal Processing With a Challenge on Image Forensics [SP Education]

With the advent of ubiquitous sensing and real-time data processing, the demand for engineers with solid signal processing skills has exceeded the supply by a large margin. However, even students in technical subjects often perceive signal processing as demanding and somewhat dry [4]. In many curricula, signal processing must compete with more attractive classes, such as hands-on courses on programming, robotics, or computer graphics. Hence, new...
