MICCAI 2011 - Toronto
MICCAI Society "Enduring Impact Award"
- awarded to Chris Taylor for:
- His work with Tim Cootes established the concepts of active shape and active appearance models which have had significant influence on the field. It is one of the most commonly used modelling methods for capturing shape variation in a population
- Most cited paper “Active shape models - their training and application” (Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 1995): 3440 citations according to Google Scholar
- Several other papers with very high citation rates
- Profound impact on work in the MICCAI fields: e.g. searching for "active shape" or "active appearance" in MICCAI 2009 Proceedings returned 47 papers i.e. a fifth of all the papers
- Major roles in other academic meetings: IPMI; MIUA; BMVC
- Industry/ commercial successes
- OBE (UK national award) for services to health
- Distinguished Fellow of the British Machine Vision Association (2003)
- Distinguished Fellow of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (2004)
- Chair of UK Institute for Health Informatics involving over 200 organisations from the NHS, academia and industry
