A distinguished professor of computer science at the Graduate Center at The City University of New York, (CUNY), Dr. Haralick's expertise in academia is a culmination of many years of study, research work in the field, and having taught for almost a combined 50 years at the University of Kansas, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, the University of Washington, and, since 2000, at the City University of New York, Graduate Center. Prior to accepting his appointment at CUNY, he held the prestigious Boeing Egtvedt Professorship in electrical engineering at the University of Washington.
Earning a BA, BS, MS, and PhD at the University of Kansas from 1960 to 1969. In 1971 Dr. Haralick established a consulting company Mnemonics, Inc., which he maintained until 2001, while he was a professor. As well, for two years he served as the vice president of research at Machine Vision International in Ann Arbor, MI, during the mid-1980s.
Dr. Haralick's research interests have included high-dimensional space clustering and pattern recognition, which have been documented in more than 600 books, chapters to books, journal articles, and conference papers, including the seminal two-volume "Computer and Robot Vision." He has also served on various editorial boards such as the "IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence", "Machine Vision and Applications" and the "Image and Vision Computing" and others. Dr. Haralick is also known for having contributed to image texture analysis, facet modeling for image analysis, shape analysis using mathematical morphology, computer image processing, computer vision, computer document analysis, and artificial intelligence. Some of his most recent work has been in high-dimensional space clustering, pattern recognition techniques applied to combinatorial problems in free group theory, and the relation decomposition problem in data mining.
Dr. Haralick worked tirelessly by serving as chairman, co-chairman, vice chairman, and program chairperson for conferences and workshops both nationally and abroad since 1978. In 2001, he served as Chairman of the International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition and co-chair for the Pattern Recognition and Basic Technology track at the 2006 International Conference on Pattern Recognition.
