Josiane Zerubia, Associate Editor – European Space Organizations and Industries, Space Signal and Image Processing
Josiane Zerubia has been a permanent research scientist at INRIA since 1989, and director of research since July 1995. She was head of the PASTIS remote sensing laboratory (INRIA Sophia-Antipolis) from mid-1995 to 1997. Since January 1998, she has been head of the Ariana research group (INRIA/CNRS/University of Nice), which also works on remote sensing. She has been adjunct professor at Sup’Aero (ENSAE) in Toulouse since 1999. Before that, she was with the Signal and Image Processing Institute of the University of Southern California (USC) in Los-Angeles as a postdoc. She also worked as a researcher for the LASSY (University of Nice/CNRS) from 1984 to 1988 and in the Research Laboratory of Hewlett Packard in France and in Palo-Alto (CA) from 1982 to 1984. She received the MSc degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering at ENSIEG, Grenoble, France in 1981, and the Doctor of Engineering degree, her Ph.D., and her `Habilitation’, in 1986, 1988, and 1994 respectively, all from the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France. She is a Fellow of the IEEE. She was a member of the IEEE IMDSP Technical Committee (SP Society) from 1997 to 2003; associate editor of IEEE Trans. on IP from 1998 to 2002; area editor of IEEE Trans. on IP from 2003 to 2006; guest co-editor of a special issue of IEEE Trans. on PAMI in 2003; and member-at-large of the Board of Governors of the IEEE SP Society from 2002 to 2004. She has also been a member of the editorial board of the French Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (SFPT) since 1998, and of the International Journal of Computer Vision since 2004. She has been a member of the IEEE BISP Technical Committee (SP Society) since 2005.
She was co-chair of two workshops on Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (EMMCVPR’01, Sophia Antipolis, France, and EMMCVPR’03, Lisbon, Portugal); co-chair of a workshop on Image Processing and Related Mathematical Fields (IPRM’02, Moscow, Russia); chair of a workshop on Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing for Urban Areas, Marne La Vallee, France, 2003; and co-chair of the special sessions at IEEE ICASSP 2006 (Toulouse, France).
Her current research interests are in image processing using probabilistic models and variational methods. She also works on parameter estimation and optimization techniques.

NASA Image of the Day
Orbital Sunrise
The Expedition 24 crew on the International Space Station photographed this image of polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by an orbital sunrise. Polar mesospheric, or noctilucent ("night shining"), clouds usually are seen at twilight, following the setting of the sun below the horizon and darkening of Earth's surface. Occasionally the station's orbital track becomes nearly parallel to Earth's day/night terminator for a time, allowing the clouds to be visible to the crew at times other than the usual twilight because of the station's altitude. This photograph shows polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by the rising, rather than setting, sun at center right. Low clouds on the horizon appear yellow and orange, while higher clouds and aerosols are illuminated a brilliant white. Polar mesospheric clouds appear as light blue ribbons extending across the top of the image. The station was located over the Greek island of Kos in the Aegean Sea (near the southwestern coastline of Turkey) when the image was taken at approximately midnight local time. The orbital complex was tracking northeastward, nearly parallel to the terminator, making it possible to observe an apparent "sunrise" located almost due north. A similar unusual alignment of the ISS orbit track, terminator position and seasonal position of Earth's orbit around the sun allowed for this striking imagery of over the Southern Hemisphere.
