Richard I. Hartley {{Post-nominals|country=AUS|FAA}} is an Australian computer scientist and an Emeritus professor at the Australian National University, where he is a member of the Computer Vision group in the Research School of Computing.

Education and career

In 1971, Hartley received a BSc degree from the Australian National University followed by MSc (1972) and PhD (1976) degrees in mathematics from the University of Toronto. He also obtained an MSc degree in computer science from Stanford University in 1983.{{cite web|url=http://www.cs.jhu.edu/seminars/2010/fall/december7/richard-hartley|title=Department of Computer Science - December 7, 2010 - Richard Hartley|publisher=Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering|accessdate=30 August 2014}}

His work is primarily devoted to the fields of Artificial intelligence, Image processing, and Computer vision. He is best known for his 2000 book Multiple View Geometry in computer vision, written with Andrew Zisserman, now in its second edition (2004). According to WorldCat, the book is held in 1428 libraries.[https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/171123855 WorldCat book entry]

Hartley was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 2005{{Cite web |title=Richard Hartley |url=https://www.science.org.au/profile/richard-hartley |access-date=2023-03-14 |website=Australian Academy of Science |language=en}} and awarded their Hannan Medal in 2023.{{Cite web |date=2023-03-14 |title=Decoding dragons and devils, what triggers volcanoes, and more: Australia's stars of science |url=https://www.science.org.au/news-and-events/news-and-media-releases/decoding-dragons-and-devils-what-triggers-volcanoes-and-more-australias-stars-of-science |access-date=2023-03-14 |website=Australian Academy of Science |language=en}} He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2024.{{Cite web |title=Professor Richard Hartley FRS |url=https://royalsociety.org/people/richard-hartley-36740/ |access-date=2024-05-20 |website=Royal Society |language=en}}
