Demetri Terzopoulos, Chancellor's Professor of Computer Science at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, received the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) Helmholtz Prize, along with co-authors Michel Kass and Andrew Witkin, for "Snakes: Active Contour Models," a paper presented at the very first ICCV conference in 1987.
Dubbed the "test of time" prize, the award is bestowed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society in recognition ICCV papers from 10 or more years ago that still have a significant impact on and have made fundamental contributions to computer vision research. Awarded every other year at the conference, the prize is named for the 19th-century physician and physicist Hermann von Helmholtz. Winners are decided by a committee appointed by the Technical Committee on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence Awards Committee.
