Ron Kimmel (Template:Lang-he) (born 1963) is a professor of Computer Science at
the Technion Israel Institute of Technology.
He holds a D.Sc. degree in electrical engineering (1995) from the Technion,
and spent a post-doctoral position at UC Berkeley and Berkeley Labs and a visiting
professorship at Stanford University.
He has worked in various areas of image and shape analysis in computer vision, image
processing, and computer graphics.
Kimmel's interest in recent years has been non-rigid shape processing and analysis, medical
imaging, computational biometry, numerical optimization of problems with a geometric flavor,
and applications of metric geometry and differential geometry. Kimmel is an author of two books, an editor of one, and an author of numerous articles. He is the founder of the Geometric Image Processing Lab [1],
and a founder and advisor of several successful image processing and analysis companies.
Kimmel's contributions to the field include the development of fast marching methods for triangulated manifolds (together with James Sethian), the geodesic active contours algorithm for image segmentation, a geometric framework for image filtering (named Beltrami flow after the Italian mathematician Eugenio Beltrami), and the Generalized Multidimensional Scaling (together with his students the Bronstein brothers) with which he was able to compute the Gromov-Hausdorff distance between surfaces.
In 2003, he appeared in an interview to WNBC on the use of geometric approaches in three-dimensional face recognition.
