</font><br>Hamid Krim <br>ECE Dept., NCSU <br>Raleigh, NC <br><br><br>Abstract <br>Object analysis in 3D is playing an increasingly important role in <br>many applications where object classification and understanding are of <br>
interest. Solutions to many existing as well as new emerging applied <br>problems (e.g, ob ject recognition, biometrics etc.) crucially depend on <br>object modeling and their parsimonious representation. <br>Our unified approach parses geometry and topology of a shape (planar <br>
and 3D) and exploits the resulting simplicity to propose simple models <br>amenable to classification and recognition. We use the biology of vision <br>of bees as a source of inspiration to invoke Morse Theory as well as <br>
Whitney embedding theorem to propose novel and powerful weighted <br>graphical models for 2D/3D shapes with a demonstrated simplicity and <br>wide applicability. <br><br><br>Short Biography: Hamid Krim received his BSc.and MSc. in EE from University <br>
of Washington and a Ph.D. degree in ECE from Northeastern University. He was a <br>Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Labs, where he has conducted research and <br>development in the areas of telephony and digital communication <br>
systems/subsystems. Following an NSF postdoctoral fellowship at Foreign Centers of <br>Excellence, LSS/University of Orsay, Paris, France, he joined the Laboratory for <br>Information and Decision Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, <br>
Cambridge, MA as a Research Scientist and where he was performing and supervising <br>research. He is presently Professor of Electrical Engineering in the ECE Department, <br>North Carolina State University, Raleigh, directing the Vision, Information and <br>
Statistical Signal Theories and Applications group. He is a Fellow of the IEEE. <br><br><br>-- <br><br><br>Carlos Cabrelli<br><a href="mailto:cabrelli@dm.uba.ar">cabrelli@dm.uba.ar</a><br><br>
