Biography

Tamás Szirányi received the Diploma and the Dr.Techn. degrees in electronics technology from the Technical University of Budapest in 1980 and 1983, respectively. He received the Ph.D. degree in electronics and computer engineering in 1991, and the Doctor of Sciences degree in image processing in 2001 from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He is addressed full-professor position in 2001 at Veszprém University and in 2004 at Péter Pázmány Catholic University.

Until 1991, he was a Research Fellow and Project Manager of Optoelectronics Development at the VIDEOTON Development Institute, Budapest. Then his work involved designing of optical data storage, laser printer and document scanning devices, also applications of laser systems. He led a research department and organized several projects. At the same time, he was a lecturer in electronics and computer technology at the Technical University of Budapest through several years.

He is currently a scientific advisor at the Computer and Automation Research Institute of Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
His research activities include:

·         Image analysis,

·         Pattern recognition,

·         Intelligent networked  sensor systems,

·         Remote Sensing,

·         Texture and motion segmentation,

·         Surveillance systems for panoramic and multiple camera systems,

·         Deconvolution,

·         Measuring and testing the image quality,

·         Scale-space methods,

·         Digital film restoration,

·         Biometrics in identification, Human-Computer Interaction,

·         Markov Random Fields and stochastic optimization,

·         Image rendering and coding,

·         Subpixel measurement,

·         Information theory of image analysis,

·         Pattern and texture analysis with special hardware,

·         He also developed systems including optoelectronic devices, analog and digital hardware.

Presently he is  project leader in two national projects of  Hungarian Scientific Research Fund: “Finding Focus of Interest in freely configured sensor networks” (#106374). Presently he is the national co-leader of EU FP7 project ProActive , European Defense Agency (EDA) project MAPIS and European Space Agency (ESA) project DUSIREF and Owetis.

He has published more than 250 scientific papers (including more than  50  in referred journals), and known distinct references to his publications are more than 1300.  He is the founder and past president (1997-2002) of the Hungarian Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Society (KÉPAF), and he was on the Governing Board of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR).  He was a member of the EU Network of Excellence MUSCLE (Multimedia Understanding through Semantics, Computation and Learning).He was the co-chair of the international workshop FSPIPA in 1999 and conferences of KEPAF in 1997, 1999 and 2009. He was an invited plenary speaker of MRCS 2006. He was honored by the Széchenyi professorship 2000-2003, by SzTAKI’s scientific award 5 times, by the Master Professor award in 2001 and by the ProScientia award at Pannon University in 2011, and by the Officers’Cross by the President of Hungary.
