Presentation Instructions

In order to maximize the exposure for your paper, to account for different learning and participation styles, and to allow for interactive and engaging discussions with fellow attendees, each paper will be presented in several ways:

  • Pre-recorded video that will be available at all times during the conference and will also be available afterwards on the Signal Processing Society Resource Center, and
  • Live poster presentation, with scheduled time at a special virtual-only component of the hybrid conference, and
  • Optionally for authors who are able to join ICASSP 2022 in-person, a standard lecture presentation.

All papers should be covered by an author registration. Virtual conference presentation is required, while on-site presentation in Singapore or in Shenzhen is optional, and additional to the virtual conference presentation. The format of on-site presentation will be announced at a later stage after author registration is completed. Papers not covered by an author registration, or papers not presented during the virtual conference poster presentation session will be removed from the conference proceedings.

Every paper must have a pre-recorded video and poster uploaded!

Video & Poster Submission

The instructions for uploading the video and poster are as follows:

Deadline: April 20, 2022

In addition to the video and poster presentations, ICASSP 2022 allows authors to upload other types of media to be used with the virtual presentation.

Pre-recorded Video Instructions

The idea behind the pre-recorded video is to provide attendees with a way to gain some insight into your contributions that is engaging, but does not require live interaction. This video will be posted within your assigned session on the IEEE ICASSP 2021 on-demand virtual platform, and will subsequently be made available through the Signal Processing Society Resource Center.

We are aware that each of you may have a different idea on how best to engage your audience, and we are happy to provide you with some flexibility to explore that. However, we are also aware that guidelines will be helpful to ensure a uniformly excellent experience for all. With that in mind we would like to establish the following minimum expectations:

  • A brief introduction on a web cam, followed by
  • A voice over slides presentation

There are a number of ways in which this minimum expectation could be enriched, and you are encouraged to consider them. These include having a video of the presenter in the corner of the slides, including animations that illustrate the concepts that underlie the work, including videos of practical implementations, and incorporating other techniques associated with the best practices of online pedagogy. If you would prefer not to include the brief on-camera introduction, we will understand.

We are also aware that each of you may have a different idea on the optimal duration of a pre-recorded video for the purposes of engaging online attendees with your work, and we are also happy to offer you some flexibility to select the length. However, our expectations are that your presentation video will be:

  • A minimum of 5 minutes in duration, and
  • A maximum of 15 minutes in duration.

Video Specifications

The technical requirements of the video are as follows:

  • Duration: At least 5 minutes and at most 15 minutes. Within that interval, choose a duration that you feel will best engage your audience
  • File size: 200MB max
  • Video file format: mp4
  • Dimensions: Minimum height 720 pixels, aspect ratio: 16:9

Please note the final specifications will be checked at the time of submission and files not compliant may not be uploaded.

Please be sure the video includes the title of the paper, the authors, and a mention to IEEE ICASSP 2022.

Tools for preparing the video

You can prepare your video using any recording and editing tool that will produce an output that will meet the above specifications. One simple way to record the presentation would be to use a video conferencing tool to record the content displayed by your computer screen and your voice recorded by the computer microphone, or an external microphone. In that way, you can show your face via webcam and display your slides as you talk. You can use any meeting software, as long as you get a good quality recording and your final file is in the MP4 format. Based on our experience, we recommend the use of Zoom, but the choice is yours. You may wish to edit the video after having recorded it. Here are some links to instructions on recording a meeting on common platforms:

You can also use the two-step method covered below:
Create Voice Over Power point and convert to MP4

Virtual Backgrounds

Tips for recording

  1. Check that your final video and audio plays directly in common web browsers like Chrome/Chromium, Firefox, etc. by dragging the video file onto a browser window. You may need to re-encode the video file with different parameters if there is no audio or video portion played on the web browser.
  2. Use as quiet an area as possible.
  3. Avoid areas that have echo:
    1. Rooms should be fairly small;
    2. Sound dampening with carpeting, curtains, furniture.
  4. Hardline internet connections are highly recommended, but if unavailable, a strong Wi-Fi connection should do the job.
  5. A good headset with a microphone set close to your mouth BUT away from direct line of mouth to reduce “pops”. Try to avoid using default, built-in microphones on your computer, if possible.
  6. Do a test recording of a couple of minutes and review the sound and picture quality, in the MP4 format, and check the bit rate before recording your entire presentation. Make adjustments as needed.

Poster Presentation Instructions

The live interactive sessions at the conference will mimic an in-person poster session. Attendees will be able to view your poster and will then have the opportunity to join an online “room” in which you and group of attendees will be able to engage in an interactive discussion of the work. The purpose of the poster is to provide a framework for that discussion, just as it would in a physical poster session.
