Brief biography of the speaker:
Ryszard S. Choras received the MSc degree in electronics engineering and the PhD degree in computer engineering both from the Faculty of Electronic of the Technical University of WrocA‚aw, Poland, in 1973, and 1981, respectively. He received DSc (habilitation) in computer science from the Faculty of Electronics of the Technical University of Warsaw in 1993. He is currently Professor in the Institute of Telecommunications of the University of Technology & Life Sciences, Bydgoszcz, Poland. His research experience covers image processing and analysis, image coding, feature extraction and computer vision. At present, he is working in the field of image retrieval and indexing, mainly in low- and high-level features extraction and knowledge extraction in CBIR systems. He is the author of Computer Vision. Methods of Image Interpretation and Identification (2005) and more than 143 articles in journals and conference proceedings. He is the member of the Polish Cybernetical Society, Polish Neural Networks Society, IASTED, and the Polish Image Processing Association.
