About the Speaker, Dr. Kasturi Rangachar:
Research Interests: Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, Visual Information Systems, Image Processing, Document Image Analysis Biography: Dr. Rangachar Kasturi is a professor of Computer Science and Engineering and Electrical Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. He received his degrees in electrical engineering from Texas Tech University (Ph.D., 1982 and M.S., 1980) and from Bangalore University, India (B.E. 1968). He worked as a research and development engineer in India during 1968-78. He served as a Visiting Scholar at the University of Michigan during 1989-90 and as a Fulbright Lecturer at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore during 1999. Dr. Kasturi is an author of the textbook, Machine Vision, McGraw-Hill, 1995. He has also authored/edited the books Computer Vision: Principles and Applications, Document Image Analysis, Image Analysis Applications, and Graphics Recognition: Methods and Applications. He has directed many projects in document image analysis, image sequence analysis, and video indexing. His earlier work in image restoration resulted in the design of many optimal filters for recovering images corrupted by signal-dependent film-grain noise. Dr. Kasturi is serving as the Vice President, Publications of the IEEE Computer Society. He is also serving as the First Vice President of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). He was the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence during 1995-98 and the Editor-in-Chief of Machine Vision and Applications journal during 1993-94. He served in the IEEE Computer Society's Distinguished Visitor Program during 1987-90. Dr. Kasturi is a General Chair of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2001 and the General Chair: Technical Program for the International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR), 2002. He was a General Chair for the International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR), 1999. Dr. Kasturi is a Fellow of the IEEE and a Fellow of IAPR. He received the Penn State Engineering Society Outstanding Research Award in 1996 and was elected to the Texas Tech Electrical Engineering Academy in 1997. He is a Golden Core Member of the IEEE Computer Society and has received its Meritorious Service Award and Certificates of Appreciation.
