It's time again for the TI Digital Signal Processing Solutions Challenge.

This skills-based contest is for university students in countries around the world. The requirements are creating and submitting an original design using a TI digital signal processor. The design should operate as a functional application.

The grand prize winning team will receive a prize of U.S. $100,000. Nine first-round semifinal winners will receive prize monies totaling U.S. $1,000 and will compete in one of three finalist geographic territories. One team among each of the three finalist territories will be chosen as a finalist winner and will receive U.S. $9,000. The grand prize winner will be chosen from the three finalists.

The completed entry form and abstract are due May 31, 1997. Final projects are due Oct. 31, 1997. For more information, see the DSP Challenge home page at http://www.ti.com/sc/dsp_challenge. The e-mail address is univ@msg.ti.com.

They oughta be in pictures...

The winners of the 1995 TI DSP Solutions challenge may have a career in the movies. Dilip Krishnan and Showbhik Kalra split the U.S. $100,000 grand prize for their winning entry -- a DSP-based system that restores old films for archiving and re-release.

Krishnan and Kalra represented Singapore's Nanyang Technological University, where both are second-year computer engineering students.

Their motion picture restoration system works by erasing damaged areas of the digitized film and filling the empty space with information captured automatically from somewhere else in the film. The design serves as a replacement for current labor-intensive systems.
