Dr. Jan Flusser received the M.Sc. Degree in mathematical engineering from the Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic in 1985 and the Ph.D. degree in computer science from the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in 1990. Since 1985 he has been with the Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague. Since 1995 he has been holding the position of a head of Department of Image Processing. Since 1991 he has been also affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague and with the Czech Technical University, Prague (full professorship in 2004), where he gives undergraduate and graduate courses on Digital Image Processing and Pattern Recognition. Jointly with B. Zitova he gives specialized graduate course on moment invariants and wavelets.
Jan Flusser has a 20-years experience in basic and applied research on the field of invariant-based pattern recognition. He has been involved in applications in remote sensing, medicine, and astronomy.
He has authored and coauthored more than 100 research publications in these areas. Some of his journal papers became classical and are frequently cited. Jan Flusser is a Senior Member of the IEEE.

Dr. Barbara Zitova received the M.Sc. degree in computer science from the Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic in 1995 and the Ph.D. degree in computer science from the Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic in 2000. Since 1995 she has been with the Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague. She also gives tutorials on Image Processing and Pattern Recognition at the Czech Technical University. Jointly with J. Flusser, she gives specialized graduate course on moment invariants and wavelets.
Barbara Zitova has a 10-years experience in image analysis. She is an author of a book chapter in Invariants for Pattern Recognition and Classification (M.A. Rodrigues ed., World Scientific, 2000) and of 20 journal and conference papers on moment invariants and related topics. Her paper "Image Registration Methods: A Survey", Image and Vision Computing, vol. 21, pp. 977-1000, 2003, has become a major reference in image registration.

Tomáš Suk received the M.Sc. degree in technical cybernetics from the Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic in 1987, the Ph.D. degree in computer science from the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in 1991. Since 1987 he has been with the Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague. His current research interests include all aspects of image recognition, namely invariant features, moment and point-based invariants, geometric transformations, applications in remote sensing, astronomy, medicine, and computer vision. He has authored and coauthored more than 50 research publications in these areas, some of which have gotten a considerable citation response.
