Ralph Bernstein (born Rölf Bernstein, February 20, 1933) is a German–born American engineer known for his contributions to digital imaging, image processing, and geosciences. He is a member of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS). [1]
Ralph Bernstein was born in Zweibrücken, Germany, and immigrated to the United States during World War II. [2] He received a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from the University of Connecticut (UConn) in 1956, and completed his master's degree in electrical engineering at Syracuse University in 1960. [3] [4] [5]
Bernstein held senior positions at IBM from 1957 to 1992, including roles at the IBM Palo Alto Scientific Center and the IBM Federal Systems Division.[ citation needed] He served as Principal Investigator for NASA's Landsat Earth observation programs, contributing to the digital processing and correction of Landsat data.[ citation needed] He also developed an oceanographic data collection and gravity control system for Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. [5] [6]
From 1992 to 2001, Bernstein worked at Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) , specializing in lightning detection and underground utility mapping. [5] His research in digital imaging and remote sensing led to advancements in medical imaging, art restoration, and environmental monitoring. [7]
He helped establish the Geosciences Node of the Planetary Data System (PDS), facilitating in the storage and distribution of planetary data from space missions. [8] [9] [10]
Bernstein was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Tau Beta Pi National Engineering Honor Society. [11] He also served on committees for NASA and the National Research Council (NRC). [5] [10]
Ralph Bernstein and his wife, Leah, live in Los Altos, California. [2]
Bernstein has received accolades such as the University of Connecticut Distinguished Engineering Alumni Award, the IBM Outstanding Contribution Award (1974), and the NASA Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement (1974). [5] [12] [1]
