Daniel Huttenlocher, the John P. and Rilla Neafsey Professor of Computing, Information Science and Business and a Stephen H. Weiss fellow at Cornell, has been named one of 38 fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

ACM fellows are chosen from the world's leading universities, industries and research labs "for their contributions to computing technology that have brought advances in the way people live and work throughout the world."

Huttenlocher was named for his contributions to computer vision. His research has included object tracking and identification in video surveillance, such as distinguishing trucks (which could represent a hazard) from passenger vehicles and identifying and tracking human beings, as well as the use of computer vision to guide robots around obstacles and toward specific landmarks. Huttenlocher was one of the advisers of the Cornell DARPA Urban Challenge team, which built a robot car that can drive itself through city streets.

Huttenlocher also works on social networks in cyberspace, interactive document systems, electronic trading systems and software development methodologies. He teaches courses on computer vision, the strategic role of information technology and the management of technology-driven businesses.
