Figure 4: This coarsely discretized triangulated algorithmically flattened<br />

human face (made by Kimmel & the Bronsteins [196]) represents a stage<br />

in machine recognition of human identity; called face recognition. Distance<br />

geometry is applied to determine discriminating-features.<br />

Euclidean distance geometry together with convex optimization have also<br />

found application in artificial intelligence:<br />

to machine learning by discerning naturally occurring manifolds in:<br />

– Euclidean bodies (Figure 5,6.4.0.0.1),<br />

– Fourier spectra of kindred utterances [183],<br />

– and image sequences [325],<br />

to robotics; e.g., automatic control of vehicles maneuvering in<br />

formation. (Figure 8)<br />

by chapter<br />

We study the pervasive convex Euclidean bodies and their various<br />

representations. In particular, we make convex polyhedra, cones, and dual<br />

cones more visceral through illustration in chapter 2, <strong>Convex</strong> geometry,<br />

and we study the geometric relation of polyhedral cones to nonorthogonal
