Professor Moura introduced a new course in the Spring of 2004, 18-899 Algebraic Signal Processing.
Moura’s research includes statistical theory of shape: Shapes provide a rich set of clues on the identity and topological properties of an object. In many imaging environments, the same object appears to have different shapes due to such distortions as translation, rotation, reflection, scaling, or shearing. Also, the correspondence between pixels of different distorted images of the same object is usually unknown. Our work looks at shape invariants and at the geometry of the shape space addressing questions like ‘how close are two shapes’ or ‘how do we morph one shape into another.’
