Summary:

  • Karel Fliegel was born in Prague, Czech Republic, in 1979.
  • He graduated from the Technical High School of Communication Means Prague, specialization Audiovisual Technology, in 1998. Thereafter he obtained the Electrical Engineering degree (M.Sc.) with distinction in Radioelectronics, specialization in Audiovisual Technology from the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU), Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE) in 2004. His diploma work entitled “Modeling of Image Sensor Characteristics in Matlab” was awarded by the dean of the FEE. He enrolled the doctoral study program at the CTU FEE in 2004 and finished the obligatory part of his studies in 2007. Since then he was a postgraduate doctoral candidate at the CTU FEE working towards his Ph.D. He has defended his doctoral thesis entitled "Modeling of visual perception of image impairment features" in 2011.
  • Karel Fliegel is with the CTU FEE Department of Radioelectronics, Multimedia Technology Group (MMTG) since 2004 where he worked as a doctoral assistant. Since 2007 he holds a position of an assistant professor at the same department. He has been responsible for laboratory practices and lectures in numerous courses with specialization in photonics, television, multimedia technology, image and signal processing. Under his supervision more than 20 students successfully finished their master or bachelor qualification works and more than 30 students finished their semester projects. He has been a member of several final State Exam Commissions.
  • His research interests include areas of multimedia technology, image processing, subjective and objective image quality assessment, HVS modeling and applied image photonics. He has substantial expertise in implementation and optimization of advanced image processing algorithms and in design and testing of imaging systems. He is author or co-author of more than 65 scientific publications from which more than 20 are listed in WoS.
  • He has been a member of research teams within more than 10 Czech grant projects or research programs especially in the area of image processing. Since 2005 he is a member of the IEEE, SPIE and member of the Executive Committee of the Czech and Slovak Society for Photonics (CSSF).
