Before joining MERL in 2000, he developed satellite imaging solutions at HRL, Malibu CA, and 3D display systems at AT&T Research Labs, Middletown, NJ. He has contributed broadly to object and motion detection, object tracking, image enhancement and super-resolution, visual representations, and video analytics. His current research interests include computer vision, pattern recognition, deep learning, manifold learning, sparse optimization, multimedia processing, data analytics, and online learning with many commercial applications, including efficient AI platforms, mobile phones, AI/VR, video surveillance, medical systems, automotive perception, car navigation, intelligent transportation, logistics, satellite systems, automation, visualization, and consumer electronics. Fatih Porikli was the recipient of the R&D 100 Scientist of the Year Award in 2006. He has won 6 best paper awards at premier conferences, including the IAPR MVA Test-of-Time Best Paper of the Decade in 2019, the Best Paper on Deep/Machine Learning at APSIPA 2017, the Best Student Paper at IEEE ACCV 2016, the Best Poster Award at IEEE AVSS in 2014, the Best Paper at IEEE AVSS in 2011, the Best Paper at IEEE Workshop on Object Tracking and Classification Beyond Visible Spectrum in 2010, and the Best Paper Runner-Up at IEEE CVPR in 2007. He has received 7 other professional prizes. He authored more than 300 publications, co-edited two books, and invented 100+ US patents. He served on the organizing committees of several flagship conferences, including CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICRA, IROS, AAAI, ICIP, AVSS, ICPR, AI, ICME, ISVC, and ICASSP. He was the General Chair and Technical Program Chair of the IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV) in 2014 and 2015, and IEEE Advanced Video and Signal based Surveillance Conference (AVSS) in 2010 and 2012. He has been an Associate Editor of several IEEE and Springer journals for the past 15 years. He was a panelist judge at several NSF proposal panels from 2006 to 2013 and gave keynotes in various events. He supervised more than 60 Ph.D. students. His h-index: 66, i10-index: 226, citation count: 21,000+
