Prof. James F. Peters, B.Sc.(Math), M.Sc.(Math), Ph.D. (CS & Math in Constructive Specification of Communicating Systems), was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Syracuse University and a Researcher in the Rome AI Laboratory, Griffiss Air Force Base, New York in 1991. He served as an Asst. Prof. at the University of Arkansas from 1991-1994, and a Researcher in the Mission Sequencing and Deep Space Telecommunications Divisions at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/Caltech, Pasadena, California between 1991-1994. He joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), University of Manitoba, Canada in 1995. He is now a Full Professor at the ECE Department, University of Manitoba. He has published over 353 journal articles, 47 edited volumes and books, 111 conference papers and 84 book chapters, 11 technical reports, with an average of 10 journal articles per year during the past 5 years. His Erdös number is 2. His main research interests are computational geometry, topology and proximity spaces in the mathematics of characteristics near sets with applications in Computer Vision. He introduced near sets in 2002 and formally introduced descriptively near sets in 2007, tolerance near sets in 2009, descriptive proximity spaces in 2011, topology and proximity spaces in 2012, computational proximity in 2016, computational geometry, topology and physics of digital images in 2017- 2021.
