Robert Loce Elected SPIE Fellow
SPIE will honor 72 new Fellows of the Society this year including Xerox's Robert Loce. 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 1995.

"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.

Robert Loce, Principal Scientist, Xerox Research Center Webster, is being honored for specific achievements in imaging and optics in electronic printing.

Loce is an acknowledged leader in printing, specifically in image halftoning, image rendering, real-time image processing, document enhancement, and color management. Remarkable he has more than 100 granted US utility patents and 40 more pending in these areas. He was also the first person in the US to receive a PhD in Imaging Science. His technical innovations have addressed a wide range of problems spanning areas such as moiré suppression in halftone screening, lens array design, color rendering, document enhancement, morphological processing, image segmentation, and error diffusion techniques.

His work on laser scanner signal processing and halftone rendition has been significant to Xerox's place in the high-end printer and copier market. He leads a team of research scientists and engineers in the development of image processing for future generations of iGen3TM Digital Production Press products as well as other high end printers.

He has more than 70 research papers to his name, as well as the book Enhancement and Restoration of Digital Documents: Statistical Design of Nonlinear Algorithms, which he wrote with Edward Dougherty (SPIE Press, 1997). Loce has been an associate editor for Journal of Electronic Imaging since 1994, and as a member of IEEE served as an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Image Processing from 2003 to 2006. He was also an associate editor of the Journal of Real-Time Imaging from 1995 to 2005.
