Biography
Katsushi Ikeuchi is a Professor at the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. He received the Ph.D. degree in Information Engineering from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 1978. After working at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, MIT for three years, the Electrotechnical Laboratory, MITI for five years, and the School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University for ten years, he joined the university in 1996.
He has served (or will serve) as the program/general chairman of several international conferences, including 1995 IEEE-IROS (General), 1996’¡¡IEEE-CVPR (Program), 1999 IEEE-ITSC (General) and 2003 ICCV (Program). He is an Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Computer Vision. He has been a fellow of IEEE since 1998. He was selected as a distinguished lecture of IEEE SP society for the period of 2000-2001.
He has received several awards, including the David Marr Prize in computational vision, and IEEE RA society K-S Fu memorial best transaction paper award. In addition, in 1992, his paper, "Numerical Shape from Shading and Occluding Boundaries," was selected as one of the most influential papers to have appeared in Artificial Intelligence Journal within the past ten years.
