Ivan Edward Sutherland(1938–)

图灵奖获得时间：

1988年。第二十三位图灵奖(1988年)获得者。

图灵奖引用(Turing Award Citation)：

For his pioneering and visionary contributions to computer graphics, starting with Sketchpad, and continuing after. Sketchpad, though written twenty-five years ago, introduced many techniques still important today. These include a display file for screen refresh, a recursively traversed hierarchical structure for modeling graphical objects, recursive methods for geometric transformations, and an object oriented programming style. Later innovations include a “Lorgnette” for viewing stereo or colored images, and elegant algorithms for registering digitized views, clipping polygons, and representing surfaces with hidden lines.

( 授予Ivan Sutherland图灵奖以表彰其在) 从Sketchpad开始在计算机图形学领域先驱性的和远见性的贡献。虽然Sketchpad是Ivan Sutherland二十五年前的工作，但Sketchpad中的许多技术对目前仍然是非常重要的。这其中包括屏幕刷新的文件显示，对图形对象(Object)的递归扫描的层次结构，对几何转换的递归方法和面向对象(Object Oriented)的编程模式。Ivan Sutherland在Sketchpad之后的发明还包括用来显示立体和彩色图像的”Lorgnette”技术，和一系列(图形图像)算法：registering digitized views, clipping polygons,和representing surfaces with hidden lines(用隐含的线来表达一个图形的表面)。
