1. A computerized method of modeling a three dimensional object, comprising:

  • extracting selected topological features from captured imaging data or other surface data of a three dimensional object;

    constructing a triangular mesh representation of said three dimensional object from said topological features, the triangular mesh representation including vertices and edges;

    mapping each vertex in said triangular mesh to a corresponding vertex in a graph, mapping each edge in said triangular mesh to a corresponding edge in said graph, computing features of said triangular mesh, mapping said features of said triangular mesh to attributes associated with said graph to construct a representative attributed graph; and

    constructing an attributed hypergraph representation from said representative attributed graph.
