近日,，經(jīng)嚴格評審,，國際光學工程學會（International Society for Optical Engineering,，SPIE)公布了今年新當選的72名會士（Fellow of the SPIE）, 我校王涌天教授因其在光學設計,、光學儀器設備,、圖像處理,、虛擬現(xiàn)實和增強現(xiàn)實技術(shù)等方面的創(chuàng)造性工作,，而成為其中一員,。
王涌天，我校信息科學技術(shù)學院教授,，博士生導師,，“長江學者獎勵計劃”特聘教授，光電信息技術(shù)與顏色工程研究所所長,。他所帶領的創(chuàng)新團隊長期在技術(shù)光學和虛擬現(xiàn)實領域從事教學和科研工作,，目前承擔的科研項目包括國家重點基礎研究發(fā)展規(guī)劃（973）課題、國家高技術(shù)研究發(fā)展計劃（863）課題,、國家自然科學基金課題,、北京市科技計劃課題和國際合作課題。主要研究方向包括成像和照明光學系統(tǒng)設計和CAD,，新型光學元件,，虛擬現(xiàn)實和增強現(xiàn)實技術(shù)、系統(tǒng)和應用,，醫(yī)學圖像處理與手術(shù)導航等方面,。王涌天教授多次應邀擔任由國際光學委員會（ICO）、國際光學工程學會（SPIE）,、中國光學學會（COS）,、美國光學學會（OSA）組織的國際學術(shù)會議的大會組委會成員、分會主席,、特邀報告人,，以及國際標準組織有關標準的制定專家組成員。
國際光學工程學會（SPIE）成立于1955年,，是一個致力于光學,、光子學、光電子學和成像領域的知識交流,、收集,、傳播和應用的非贏利性的著名專業(yè)學會。SPIE每年在獎學金,、研究基金和科技教育及創(chuàng)新活動方面投資超過90萬美元,，其主要任務包括向會員及國際工程科學界提供信息、教育產(chǎn)品及服務,，為光學及光子學領域的交流及其與其他領域的互動提供平臺,，針對新興技術(shù)組織會議及教育項目等。SPIE每年召開約26個學術(shù)會議,，所形成的會議文獻反映了相應專業(yè)領域的最新進展和動態(tài),，具有極高的學術(shù)價值；具有信息量大,、報導速度快,、涉及交叉學科領域廣泛等特點,，已成為光學及其應用領域科技人員極為重視和歡迎的情報源，是國際著名的會議文獻出版物,。
Yongtian Wang Elected SPIE Fellow
SPIE will honor 72 new Fellows of the Society this year. Fellows are members of distinction who have made significant scientific and technical contributions in the multidisciplinary fields of optics,， photonics,， and imaging. They are honored for their technical achievement,， for their service to the general optics community， and to SPIE in particular. More than 500 SPIE members have become Fellows since the Society's inception in 1955.
"The annual recognition of Fellows provides an opportunity for us to acknowledge outstanding members for their service to the general optics community,，" says Kevin G. Harding,， SPIE President
Yongtian Wang， Professor of Optics,， Beijing Institute of Technology,， China， for specific achievements in optical instrumentation and image processing.
Wang's significant contributions involve optical design,， optical instrumentation,， image processing， virtual reality,， and augmented reality technologies and applications. He developed a sophisticated software package called General Optical Lens Design (GOLD),， which incorporated advanced theories and algorithms for analyzing and optimizing optical systems. For his work on the software， he received the Chinese Academy of Sciences Award and the National Award for Progress in Science and Technology. Wang also leads the research and development of optical systems,， algorithms,， and software for the on-site digital restoration of Yuanmingyuan， a famous and historic royal garden which was burnt down in the 1860s.
Wang has been the director of the Research Center for Optoelectronic Technology and Information System at Beijing Institute of Technology since its establishment in 2004.
His service to the optics community is substantial Wang is a director of the Chinese Optical Society,， a director of the Visual-Audio Engineering Society of the China Instrument and Control Society,， and a member of the Virtual Reality Professional Committee of the China Society of Image and Graphics. He is active with several societies， having helped organize multiple congresses and conferences. Wang's contributions to SPIE are important as well,， for example he organized and co-chaired the Optical Design and Testing conferences of Photonics Asia 2002,，2004 and 2007， and overall has helped facilitate continuing collaborations with SPIE throughout China.
