Yu-Jin Zhang is a Professor of Image Engineering at Tsinghua University, Beijing, where he has been on faculty since 1993. He received his Ph.D. in Applied Science from the State University of Liège, Belgium, in 1989, followed by postdoctoral research at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. With over three decades of experience in image processing,Image Analysis, image understanding, and visual information retrieval, he is widely recognized as a leading scholar in the field.
Professor Zhang has authored more than 550 peer-reviewed research papers and published over 20 academic books, including Handbook of Image Engineering (Springer, 2021), A Selection of Image Processing Techniques (CRC Press, 2022),A Selection of Image Analysis Techniques (CRC Press, 2023),A Selection of Image Understanding Techniques (CRC Press, 2023), and 3-D Computer Vision: Foundations and Advanced Methodologies (Springer, 2024). His work has significantly shaped the landscape of image engineering (image processing, analysis and understanding).
In addition to his research, he has published more than 40 textbooks in Image engineering, developed and taught more than ten specialized courses at Tsinghua University and abroad, inspiring generations of students and practitioners. He is a Fellow of SPIE and the China Society of Image and Graphics (CSIG), and he served as Program Chair of ICIP 2017.
