Biography: Charles Dyer is Professor of Computer Sciences and Professor of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, where he has been on the faculty since 1982. He served as Chair of the Department of Computer Sciences from 1990 to 1993, and as Associate Chair from 1987 to 1990. He received his Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Maryland in 1979, his M.S. degree in computer science from UCLA in 1974, and his B.S. degree in mathematical sciences from Stanford University in 1973. He has worked in the field of computer vision for thirty years and has published over 130 technical papers. His research has focused mainly on shape and image representations for computer vision, with prominent contributions on topics such as quadtrees, aspect graphs, pyramid algorithms, 3D scene reconstruction by voxel coloring, view synthesis, object recognition, and visual exploration. He co-leads the Wisconsin Computer Vision Group. Dr. Dyer is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a Fellow of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). He was awarded the Visiting Fellowship at Exeter College, University of Oxford for 1999-2000. He is an associate editor of the journal Machine Vision and Applications and was an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 1987-1991. He was General Co-Chair of the 2003 Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference, and Program Co-Chair of this same conference in 1996. Finally, he is a member of the Alumni Hall of Fame in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland.
