in particular.

Biography

Born in India, Jain received a bachelor's degree in

Richard Bellman
.

After graduation Jain continued as postdoctoral fellow and later assistant professor in the department of Electrical Engineering and in the Image Processing Institute of the University of Southern California. In 1974 he joined the faculty of the

State University of New York at Buffalo
, and in 1978 he returned to California and became a professor at the University of California, Davis.

In 1983 Jain received the IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award.[3]

In 1988 Jain was recognized as a

Fellow of the IEEE.[1]

Work

Jain's research interests ranged from "digital and image processing, computer vision, fast algorithms, real time digital systems architecture to stochastic processes and communication theory."[1][4]

Image processing textbook

Jain wrote an influential textbook, Fundamentals of Image Processing, published in 1988 by

ISBN 978-0133361650).[1]

Video compression

Anil K. Jain was a contributor to the field of motion video compression. With his colleague Jaswant R. Jain, Anil published the original paper[2] combining block-based motion compensation and transform coding in December 1981.

Subsequently, most of the video compression standards for two-way communications and video broadcast applications were based upon motion compensation and transform coding, including those most widely used today such as

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
.

Optivision and its transform coding products

While at

Polycom, and 2Wire. Optivision later, after Jain's untimely death, had an initial public offering
primarily thanks to the Optivision optical switching technology.
