Шаблон:Infobox scientist Edwin Hancock (FREng) (born June 1956, died January 19th, 2024) was a British computer scientist at the University of York specialising in computer vision and pattern recognition.

Education

Edwin Hancock graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in physics in 1977, a PhD in high energy nuclear physics in 1981 and a Doctor of Science degree by publication in 2008 from Durham University.[1][2] His PhD thesis was entitled "The π π Ʌ channel from KШаблон:Supp reactions in the Ʌ (1690) region" and his D.Sc. thesis "Contributions to pattern recognition and computer vision".[3][4]

Career

Hancock was Emeritus Professor of Computer Vision in the Department of Computer Science at the University of York, and Adjunct Professor and Principal Investigator of the Beijing Innovation Centre for Big Data and Brain Computing at Beihang University. He commenced his research career in the field of high energy nuclear physics, working on bubble chamber experiments performed at CERN and SLAC between 1977 and 1984. During this period he used partial wave analysis[3] to study the angular momentum resonances of Ʌ and Σ hyperons and was involved in the first determination of charm quark lifetimes.[5]

In 1985 he changed fields to work in computer science, and most recently undertook research in the use of graph-based methods in computer vision, pattern recognition and complex networks. He focused on how pattern recognition and machine learning can be performed using data in the form of graphs, trees and strings. He was best known for his work on graph matching[6] and spectral graph theory.[7] He also worked on physics based vision, where he has focused on how to recover surface shape and surface sub-structure from information conveyed by the scattering of light and from polarisation measurements.[8] He has published extensively on these topics.[9]

He was elected Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2021,[10] named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2016[11] for contributions to pattern recognition and computer vision, and as a Fellow of the International Association for Pattern Recognition in 2000.[12] He was awarded a doctorate honoris causa by the University of Alicante in 2015.[13] In 2016 he was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the journal Pattern Recognition.[14] Between 2016 and 2018 he was second vice-president of the International Association for Pattern Recognition.[15] Between 2009 and 2014, he held a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award.[16] In 1991 he was awarded the Seventeenth Annual Pattern Recognition Award,[17] for his paper titled "Discrete Relaxation", co-authored with Josef Kittler and published in the journal Pattern Recognition,[18] and in 1999 an honourable mention in the Twentyfourth Award[19] for the paper "Matching Delaunay Graphs",[20] with Andrew M. Finch and Richard C. Wilson. The British Machine Vision Association awarded him its Distinguished Fellowship for 2016.[21] In 2018 he received the Pierre Devijver Award from the International Association for Pattern Recognition.[22]
