Biographical Sketch
Gösta H. Granlund received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Chalmers Institute of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1966 and

1970 respectively. In 1974 he received the Docent degree from Chalmers Institute of Technology.

From 1966 to 1970 he was working with SAAB Electronics Division on computer systems and control systems, as well as working on his Ph.D. thesis at Chalmers Institute of Technology. In 1970 he came to MIT, first as a postdoctoral fellow and later employed as a member of the research staff, where he worked on biomedical image analysis, such as automatic karyotyping of chromosomes. In 1972 he became Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Linköping University, Sweden. He spent 1974-1975 as a Visiting Professor at MIT. Since 1982 he is Professor of Electrical Engineering at Linköping University. During the academic year 1990-1991 he was again visiting at MIT.

Dr. Granlund is Head of the Computer Vision Laboratory of Linköping University, working on various image processing problems such as reconstruction, multidimensional information representation, adaptive feedback and relaxation methods, learning systems and hierarchical parallel processing structures. He has co-authored or contributed to 4 books on Computer Vision methods. He has written or co-authored more than 120 articles or conference papers within the field of Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, and he has given international courses within this field. He has 8 patents.

Dr. Granlund is a member of several professional societies, and he is a member of the editorial board for several international journals. He has also been working as a consultant for several international companies in the field of Image Processing and Pattern Recognition.

Linköping University (Computer Vision Laboratory)
The Computer Vision Laboratory (CVL) at Linköping University is doing research in computer vision, signal processing, robot vision and learning. CVL was formed in 1982 and has about 15 researchers, doctorate students and visiting scientists.

CVL is participating in a major project, WITAS: The Wallenberg laboratory for research on Information Technology and Autonomous Systems. The funding of the entire project is about 15 M Euros over 7 years. The research goal of this project is to do high quality research on topics which are relevant to the design of autonomous systems. The system goal is to develop an intelligent autonomous helicopter, and to demonstrate its performance before the end of 2003.

Other projects involve:

· Content based search in image databases

· A high performance learning architecture

· Unrestricted, view independent recognition of 3-D objects

The lab has also developed web based teaching tools for interactive education in computer vision. In 1983 members of the lab started a company ContextVision, which is today listed on the stock exchange.

The Computer Vision Laboratory has participated in several international cooperation projects such as in the ESPRIT programme and the EUREKA programme, as well as in The International Consortium for Medical Imaging Technology, ICMIT.
