Matti Kalevi Pietikäinen is a computer scientist. He is currently Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Oulu, Finland. His research interests are in texture-based computer vision, face and activity analysis, and vision-based perceptual interfaces. He is Director of the Center for Machine Vision Research,[1] and Scientific Director of Infotech Oulu.[2]
Biography
Pietikäinen received the Doctor of Science in Technology degree from University of Oulu, Finland, in 1982.[3] From 1980 to 1981 and from 1984 to 1985 he was with the Computer Vision Laboratory at the University of Maryland, working with a pioneer of the computer image analysis, Professor Azriel Rosenfeld. After these visits, he established computer vision research at University of Oulu.[4]
He has authored over 285 refereed scientific publications, which have been frequently cited.[5] He has made pioneering contributions to local binary patterns (LBP) methodology. In 2011, he was named an IEEE Fellow for his contributions to texture and facial image analysis for machine vision.[6] Already in 1994, he received the IAPR Fellow nomination for contributions to machine vision and its applications in industry and service to the IAPR.[7]
