Bernice E Rogowitz Elected Fellow of the SPIE
Conferred at the SPIE/IS&T Symposium on Electronic Imaging, January 20, 2009
Dr. Rogowitz's fellow promotion is for specific achievements in human vision applications in electronic imaging. She has been a leader in research in perceptual areas relevant to imaging and visualization systems, in developing interactive software systems based on her deep understanding of these issues, and building a community linking the engineering and human vision communities.
Her research in human and machine vision and image processing has included important contributions to many aspects of spatial vision, spatial-temporal interactions, shape perception, color vision, and image perception. Rogowitz has applied this fundamental knowledge to a wide variety of engineering tools and applications from measuring display artifacts, to representing meaning in data visualization, to navigating more naturally through a digital archive of images, to conveying the sense of touch in 3-D virtual environments.
Rogowitz is very active in the optics community both with her collaborative work and with scientific societies. She is a fellow of the IS&T, a senior member of IEEE, and an active leader with SPIE. She is the founder and co-chair of the SPIE/IS&T Conference on Human Vision and Electronic Imaging. For her work she has been honored as a National IS&T Distinguished Lecturer and received the IS&T/SPIE Award in Recognition of Outstanding Achievement.
