Subject: Images recording
Hi everybody,
I'm working with a b/w video camera and I would like
to record my images on magnetic tape. Normal VCR are
equipped with automatic gain control (AGC) and other proces-
sing features which are disturbing in my case. I would like
to know if anybody knows the name of a company offering VCRs
not equipped with these features and specially suited for
scientific recording of images.
Thank you!

Subject: Re: Yet ANother Image Proc. Toolkit
The info in a recent Vision-List about Bristol's image Toolkit was
interesting and worthwhile to announce on Vision-List. However, there
seem to be quite a few of these beasts floating around (esp. in
academia), some of which are public domain (i.e., free, no maintenance,
maybe some documentation), some of which have been pseudo-
commercialized, some of which have been commercialized, etc. Perhaps
Vision-List would be a good conduit for compiling a list of the known
image toolkits and their availbility status. If you can find a willing
compiler (i.e., a human) who would edit the responses sent in by
Vision-List readers, it would probably be a very good service to the
Vision community (as you might guess, this implies I am not
volunteering, but perhaps a call for a volunteer in a Vision-List
announcement might succeed).

[ I agree that this would be worthwhile. Those with information, please
post the information, and I will repost. In particular, specify: the
language, target system and portability, scope of routines, copyrights,
support and maintenance, responsible person(s) to contact, extent of
constructs (e.g., image processing, region-based, abstractions for
object description, etc.), and (if appropriate) the cost of the system.

Subject: Perception data wanted
Keywords: sensory input references
Organization: Telecom Research Labs,IPF,Melbourne, Australia
Is the following sentence meaningful?
"Unimpaired humans receive XX% of all sensory input visually."
If it is:
a) what is the value of XX?
b) how is this determined?
c) what is the standard reference on this?
If not:
a) what _can_ be meaningfully said in this context?
b) what are the issues which complicate such estimates?
b) what is the standard reference on the relative
importance of the different senses?
Please reply by email.
I will summarize responses.
Thankyou,

Subject: Re: Vision research information
I am doing research in exploiting human visual systems characteristics for
better image generation and compression. If you are doing research on related
topic or one of the following topics :
_ Image segmentation using human visual properties and applications in image
compression.
-The use of visual models for better image generation.
-The use of spatial and temporal characteristics of the visual system to
enhance image quality and update rates.
Contact me, regarding your most recent publications in any of the above
topics. Thank you
