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, and Scientific Director of Infotech Oulu.

Biography

Pietikäinen received the Doctor of Science in Technology degree from University of Oulu, Finland, in 1982.^[1] 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.^[2]

He has authored over 285 refereed scientific publications, which have been frequently cited.^[3] 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.^[4] Already in 1994, he received the IAPR Fellow nomination for contributions to machine vision and its applications in industry and service to the IAPR.^[5]
