N1 - Funding Information: Thomas S. Huang received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. in 1956 and the M.S. and Sc.D. degrees in electrical engi-neering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, in 1960 and 1963, respectively. From 1963 to 1973, he was on the Faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering at MIT. From 1973 to 1980, he was on the Faculty of the School of Electrical Engineering and Director of its Laboratory for Information and Signal Processing at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN. In 1980, he joined the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he is now William L. Everitt Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering; Re-search Professor at the Coordinated Science Laboratory; Head of the Image Formation and Pro-cessing Group at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology; and Cochair of the Institute’s major research theme Human Computer Intelligent Interaction. During his sabbatical leaves, he has worked at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Lexington, MA; the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY; and the Rheinishes Landes Museum, Bonn, Germany, and has held Visiting Professor positions at the Swiss Institutes of Technology, Zurich and Lausanne; University of Hannover, Germany; INRS-Telecommunications of the University of Quebec, Montreal, QC, Canada; and the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. He has served as a consultant to numerous industrial firms and government agencies both in the U.S. and abroad. He has published 14 books and over 500 papers on network theory, digital filtering, image processing, and computer vision. He is a Founding Editor of the international journal Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing, and Editor of the Springer Series in Information Sciences, published by Springer-Verlag. His current research interests lie in the broad area of information technology, especially the transmission and processing of multidimensional signals. Dr. Huang is a Member of the National Academy of Engineering; a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academies of Engineering and Sciences; and a Fellow of the International Association of Pattern Recognition and the Optical Society of America. He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, an A. V. Humboldt Foundation Senior U.S. Scientist Award, and a Fellowship from the Japan Association for the Promotion of Science. He received the IEEE Signal Processing Society’s Technical Achievement Award in 1987 and the Society Award in 1991. He was awarded the IEEE Third Millennium Medal in 2000. Also in 2000, he received the Honda Lifetime Achievement Award for “contributions to motion analysis.” In 2001, he received the IEEE Jack S. Kilby Medal. In 2002, he received the King-Sun Fu Prize from the International Association of Pattern Recognition, and the Pan Wen-Yuan Outstanding Research Award.
