Josef Ström Bartunek

Josef Ström Bartunek serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) in Karlskrona, Sweden, where his research centers on systems engineering with specialized focus in biometric image analysis and computer vision.

Education

• PhD in Systems Engineering, Blekinge Institute of Technology (2016) - Dissertation: FINGERPRINT IMAGE ENHANCEMENT, SEGMENTATION AND MINUTIAE DETECTION

Research Focus

Dr. Bartunek's work spans biometrics (fingerprint/iris recognition), forensic image analysis, and industrial computer vision. His fingerprint enhancement algorithms address noise reduction and feature extraction challenges, while recent research extends to surface topography analysis in manufacturing quality control. The VISIR open lab platform publications demonstrate his secondary interest in remote engineering education technologies.

Publication Trends

His 15 most recent publications (2004-2020) reveal an evolution from core biometric algorithm development (2004-2013) toward industrial applications (2016-2020). Early work centered on fingerprint minutiae extraction and neural network applications, while post-2016 research increasingly addresses forensic image resolution and manufacturing process monitoring through camera-based systems.
