Robert M. Haralick (born 1943) is Distinguished Professor in Computer Science at Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY).
In 1979 Haralick joined the electrical engineering department at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, where he was a professor and director of the spatial data analysis laboratory.
In 2000 Haralick accepted a Distinguished Professorship position at the computer science department of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
[1] Haralick began his work as one of the principal investigators of the NASA ERTS satellite data doing remote sensing image analysis.
His papers on consistent labeling,[9][10] arrangements, relation homomorphism,[11] matching, and tree search translate some specific computer vision problems to the more general combinatorial consistent labeling problem and then discuss the theory of the look-ahead operators that speed up the tree search.
The recursive algorithms permit all possible sized openings or closings for a given structuring element to be computed in constant time per pixel.
The databases are issued on CD-ROMs and are used all around the world by people developing character recognition methodologies and techniques for document image structural decomposition.
[34][35][36] and echocardiography,[37] These papers developed techniques to identify and delineate anatomically accurate boundaries for the left ventricle of the heart.
He has served on the editorial board of "IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence" and has been the computer vision area editor for Communications of the ACM and as an associate editor for Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing, The IEEE Transactions on Image Processing and Pattern Recognition.
