Jan Flusser

Jan Flusser received the M.Sc. degree in mathematical engineering from the Faculty of Nuclear Science and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University, Prague, in 1985, the Ph.D. degree in computer science from the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in 1990, and the DrSc. degree in technical cybernetics from the Czech Technical University in 2001. Since 1985 he has been with the Institute of Information Theory and Automation of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. In 1995-2007 he was holding the position of a head of Department of Image Processing. He was appointed Director of the Institute on the 1st May 2007.

Jan Flusser's research interest is on the field of invariant-based pattern recognition and image fusion. His main areas are moments and moment invariants, image registration, multichannel blind deconvolution, and super-resolution imaging.

He has authored and coauthored more than 150 research publications in these areas, including tutorials at international conferences (ICIP'05, ICIP'07, EUSIPCO'07, CVPR'08, FUSION'08, SPPRA'09, SCIA'09, ICIP'09) and invited/keynote talks (ICCS'06, COMPSTAT'06, WIO'06, DICTA'07, CGIM'08). He is a coauthor of the book Moments and Moment Invariants in Pattern Recognition (Wiley, 2009). His work (with co-authors) on image restoration in astronomy was awarded by the Award of the Chairman of the Czech Science Foundation in 2007. In the same year, his team won the Prize of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic for the contribution to image fusion theory.

Since 1991 he has been also affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University (MFF UK), Prague, and with the Faculty of Nuclear Science and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University (FJFI CVUT), Prague (full professorship in Applied Mathematics in 2004), where he gives undergraduate and graduate courses on Digital Image Processing, Pattern Recognition, and Moment invariants and wavelets.
