Prof. Jan Flusser, PhD, DrSc, received the M.Sc. degree in mathematical engineering from the Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic, in 1985, the Ph.D degree in computer science from the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in 1990, and the DrSc degree in technical cybernetics in 2001.

Since 1985 he has been with the Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague. In 1995-2007, he was  holding  the position of a head of Department of Image Processing. Since 2007  he has been a Director of the Institute. He is a full professor of computer science at the Czech Technical University, Faculty of Nuclear Science and Physical Engineering, and at the Charles University, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Prague, Czech Republic, where he gives undergraduate and graduate courses on Digital Image Processing, Pattern Recognition, and Moment Invariants and Wavelets. Jan Flusser's research interest covers moments and moment invariants, image registration, image fusion, multichannel blind deconvolution, and super-resolution imaging. He has authored and coauthored more than 200 research publications in these areas, including about 60 journal paper and 20 tutorials  and invited/keynote talks at major  conferences (ICIP'05, ICCS'06, COMPSTAT'06, ICIP'07, DICTA'07, EUSIPCO'07, CVPR'08, CGIM'08, FUSION'08, SPPRA'09, SCIA'09, ICIP'09,  CGIM'10, AIA'14, CI'15, and ICPR'16). His publications have received over 10,000 citations.

In 2007 Jan Flusser received the Award of the Chairman of the Czech Science Foundation for the best research project and won the Prize of the Czech Academy of Sciences  for his contribution to image fusion theory. In 2010, he was awarded by the  SCOPUS 1000 Award presented by Elsevier. He received the Felber Medal of the Czech Technical University for excellent contribution to research and education in 2015.

Tomáš Suk, PhD,received the M.Sc. degree in technical cybernetics from the Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic, in 1987 and the Ph.D degree in computer science from the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in 1992. Since 1992 he has been a research fellow with the Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague. His research interests include namely invariant features, moment and point-based invariants, color spaces, geometric transformations, and applications in botany, remote sensing, astronomy, medicine, and computer vision.T. Suk has authored and coauthored more than 30 journal papers and 50 conference papers in these areas, including tutorials on moment invariants held at the conferences ICIP'07 and  SPPRA'09.  His publications have received about 1000 citations. In 2002 he received the Otto Wichterle Premium of the Czech Academy of Sciences  for young scientists. More at Tomáš Suk's personal webpage.
