Dorin Comaniciu and Image Processing
Dorin received Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Polytechnic University of Bucharest in 1995 and Rutgers University in 1999. He has since been with Siemens Corporate Research, serving both as a scientist and manager. Since 2004 he is the head of the Integrated Data Systems Department, with offices in Princeton, New Jersey and Erlangen, Germany. Under his leadership the department has quadrupled in size, by refocusing on disruptive and high impact research. Dorin's scientific interests include robust computer vision, motion estimation, information fusion, discriminative methods for medical imaging, biomedical informatics, and content-based access to visual data. He holds 27 US patents, has co-authored more than 80 patent applications, and more than 140 papers, conference papers, and book chapters in the area of visual information processing. He has received the Best Paper Award at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2000 and is a co-author of the upcoming book Nonparametric Analysis of Visual Data: The Mean Shift Paradigm. For his innovations in the areas of medical imaging and intelligent vehicles he has received the 2004 Siemens Inventor of the Year Award, the highest technical recognition of Siemens AG worldwide. He has been featured in the book Innovative Minds and has given numerous invited speeches. Dorin leads the scientific direction of one of the largest European projects in biomedical informatics, Health-e-Child, and is one of the main architects of MEDICO, a project focussed on the next generation of semantic, scalable search engines for medical imaging. He serves as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence.
