Biography

Finlayson received his BSc in computer science from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, and his MSc and PhD from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada, where his dissertation was awarded a Dean's medal for academic excellence. From 1995 to 1997, Finlayson was a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at the University of York. In 1997, he was appointed to a readership at the University of Derby, where he was a founding member of the Colour & Imaging Institute. Prof Finlayson joined UEA, as a Professor,  in 1999.

Finlayson is interested in how color can be used to solve problems in computer vision and allied disciplines such as image processing and digital photography. He has made many contributions toward solving the color constancy problem (removing color bias due to illumination from images) and his algorithms have been implemented in commercial cameras. His current research interests include dynamic range compression, the automated removal of shadows in images, photometric invariance, and the application of computational techniques to the understanding of human vision. 

As well as being an academic, Finlayson is an Entrepreneur. His company, Imsense Ltd, was the first in the 50 year history of UEA to either raise venture capital or, when it was bought by an industry major in 2010, to make money for the University. His current spin-out, Spectral Edge Ltd was incorporated in 2012.

In 2002 and 2008 Finlayson was granted, respectively, a Philip Leverhulme Prize for Science and a Royal Society-Wolfson Merit Award. In 2010 Finlayson became a fellow of the Society of Imaging Science and Technology and then in 2012 he was awarded a fellowship by the Royal Photographic Society. The latter society has also awarded Finlayson the Davies medal for his outstanding contributions to the photographic industry.
