*Topo-geometric Modeling in 3D *

Abstract
Object analysis in 3D is playing an increasingly important role in
many applications where object classi�cation and understanding are of
interest. Solutions to many existing as well as new emerging applied
problems (e.g, ob ject recognition, biometrics etc.) crucially depend on
object modeling and their parsimonious representation.
Our uni�ed approach parses geometry and topology of a shape (planar
and 3D) and exploits the resulting simplicity to propose simple models
amenable to classi�cation and recognition. We use the biology of vision
of bees as a source of inspiration to invoke Morse Theory as well as
Whitney embedding theorem to propose novel and powerful weighted
graphical models for 2D/3D shapes with a demonstrated simplicity and
wide applicability.


Short Biography: Hamid Krim received his BSc.and MSc. in EE from University
of Washington and a Ph.D. degree in ECE from Northeastern University. He was
a
Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Labs, where he has conducted research
and
development in the areas of telephony and digital communication
systems/subsystems. Following an NSF postdoctoral fellowship at Foreign
Centers of
Excellence, LSS/University of Orsay, Paris, France, he joined the Laboratory
for
Information and Decision Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Cambridge, MA as a Research Scientist and where he was performing and
supervising
research. He is presently Professor of Electrical Engineering in the ECE
Department,
North Carolina State University, Raleigh, directing the Vision, Information
and
Statistical Signal Theories and Applications group. He is a Fellow of the
IEEE.
