We want to congratulate Professor Ching Yee Suen for being selected by IAPR to win the most prestigious King-Sun Fu Prize, the highest honour in the field of Pattern Recognition. What an achievement!
This biennial prize is given to a living person in recognition of an outstanding technical contribution to the field of pattern recognition, and consists of a cash amount and a suitably inscribed certificate. The prize is derived from interest income from a special fund set up for this purpose.
The prize recipient is expected to present an invited talk at the conference and to provide a contribution to the special issue of Pattern Recognition Letters, which will include extended versions of all papers that received an IAPR award at the most recent ICPR.
