Philippe Salembier

Philippe Salembier received a degree from the Éole Polytechnique, France, in 1983 and a degree from the Éole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, France, in 1985. He received the Ph.D. degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in 1991. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard Robotics Laboratory, USA, in 1991. From 1985 to 1989, he worked at Laboratoires d'Electronique Philips, France, in the fields of digital communications and signal processing for HDTV. In 1989, he joined the Signal Processing Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, to work on image processing. At the end of 1991, after a stay at the Harvard Robotics Lab., he joined the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Spain, where he is lecturing on the area of digital signal and image processing. His current research interests include image and sequence coding, compression and indexing, image modeling, segmentation problems, video sequence analysis, mathematical morphology, and nonlinear filtering. In terms of standardization activities, he has been involved in the definition of the MPEG-7 standard (Multimedia Content Description Interface) as Chair of the Multimedia Description Scheme Group between 1999 and 2001. He served as an Area Editor of the Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation (Academic Press) from 1995 until 1998 and as an AdCom Officer of the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) in charge of the edition of the Newsletter from 1994 until 1999. He has edited (as Guest Editor) special issues of Signal Processing on Mathematical Morphology (1994) and on Video Sequence Analysis (1998). He has also coedited a special issue of Signal processing: Image Communication on MPEG-7 proposals (2000). Currently, he is an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Image Processing and Co-Editor-in-Chief of Signal Processing. Finally, he is a Member of the Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
