Professor Matthew Turk elected Fellow by the International Association for Pattern Recognition

UC Santa Barbara computer science professor Matthew Turk has been elected Fellow by the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). He is cited by IAPR for his "contributions to computer vision and vision-based interaction."

Turk was chosen from a select group of IAPR members: Only .25 percent of the organization’s membership is eligible for election to Fellow in any given two-year period. He received his award at a ceremony of the International Conference on Pattern Recognition in Stockholm, Sweden.

"This award for Professor Turk is a well-deserved, prestigious recognition from colleagues in computer vision around the world," commented Rod Alferness, dean of the College of Engineering. "His significant contributions to the field of vision-based interaction are highly valuable to the global research community and to the UCSB campus."
