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

Subject: An inexpensive 16level grey scale sensor
Organization: EECG, University of Toronto
About two months ago I asked about cheap image sensors. The best bet then
was the Fisher Price Kiddie Camcorder (US $99, Canada $169 or so). This is
true, and it's one hell of a deal- it actually works, has a fully funcitonal
B&W TV - and it's lots o'fun.
Well I went out and bought one of these, Fisher-Price didn't want to help
me, so I figured it out myself.
I dug around and found the data stream and all necessary synch pulses- all
at TTL levels.
I'm quite willing to share what I've learned- however I figure probably the
best way would be to first figure out how many people want this info (and
hence whether I should use the SASE method or actually type all that info in-
graphic road maps included).
So if this interests you in a reasonably serious way mail me with a
subject header to that effect and I'll decide which approach to take within
the week (maybe I'll even post here if enough demand develops).
I also wrote really ugly Turbo C code and managed to interface it to my PC
bus (with 3 chips) so that I can see what it sees.
Standard Disclaimer: I have no connection to Fischer-Price except that of a
frustrated hacker.

Subject: Suggestions for pattern recognition algorithms
Organization: EECG, University of Toronto
Well- now that I've broken the (seeming) tradition of only Conference
calls for Papers on the vision-list. Here's a question.
I need to use the aforementioned sensor to sense a mouth. Yes that's
right. Picture yourself at the dentist and the Dentists light shining
in your mouth and an image sensor on top of the dentists light. That's
almost exactly what it is.
Last time I tried doing pattern recognition I failed miserably (maybe
because I tried to do it MY way). So this time I'm going to be smart
about it.
Are there any algorithms out there particularly well suited for this type
of process? What would be the best places to look? How about using some
kind of neural net to do this (I know very little if nothing about how to
program these- but a friend assures me that they're ideal for pattern
recognition)?
Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: ITI150 & ITI151 Image Processing Mailing List
A new mailing list has been created for users of Imaging Technology's
series 150 and 151 image processing systems and ITEX151 software.
The goal is to share algorithms, code, tricks, pitfalls, advice, etc. in an
effort to decrease development time and increase functionality for the users
of these systems. (Also, despite their good support, we customers may want
to gang up on ITI someday!!)
I envision a simple, unmoderated mail exploder until such time as misuse or
inconsideration forces the list to be moderated.

Subject: Call for papers: IEEE Workshop on 3D Scene Interpretation
Status: RO
CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Workshop on Interpretation of 3D Scenes
Austin Mariott at the Capital
Austin, TX
November 27-29, 1989
The interpretation of 3D scenes remains a difficult problem for many
application areas and has attracted the attention of researchers in
many disciplines. The intent of this workshop is to bring together
vision researchers to discuss current work in scene interpretation,
representation, matching and sensing. A variety of sessions will be
devoted to different aspects of scene interpretation research. The
number of presentations will be limited, so there will be ample
opportunity for discussion. Papers are invited on all aspects of
scene interpretation by human and machine, including:
* General 3D interpretation * Applications in navigation, industry,
problems enabling technology, etc.
* Internal 3D representation and * Matching sensed scene structure
modeling to internal representations.
* Sensing 3D scene structure
Authors are encouraged to present new representations or
computational methods with experimental results, present new
theoretical insights, or relate new observations of relationships
between human and machine processing of 3D scenes.
Submission of Papers:
Submit three copies of your paper to Eric Grimson to be received on or
before June 15, 1989. Papers should not exceed a total of 25 double
spaced pages. Authors will be notified of reviewing decisions by
August 15 and final papers in camera-ready form will be required by
the IEEE Computer Society by September 30,1989.
