THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON VISUAL SEARCH

From: syswerda@bbn.com (Gilbert Syswerda)
Subject: Image recognition and logarithmic spirals
There is evidence that in the primate visual system, the retina maps to the
visual cortex in a logarithmic spiral pattern. I am looking for pointers to
any work that people may have done in doing fixation and image recognition
using a post-logarithmic mapping.

Subject: positions at CMU
Research Programmer Position #1
Digital Mapping Laboratory
School of Computer Science
Carnegie Mellon University
We currently have an opening for a research programmer in the area of
computer vision algorithms for the automated extraction of man-made features
from aerial imagery for cartographic update and analysis. The position
involves the development of cooperative methods for stereo analysis and
scene reconstruction and the integration of multiple image domain cues into
a coherent three-dimensional scene interpretation. Some work in system
maintenance and development, particularly in the areas of computer graphics
and user interfaces, will also be required.
The research programmer will work together with other researchers in the
Digital Mapping Laboratory on related topics in knowledge-based scene analysis,
large-scale spatial databases, and in computer vision algorithm development.
This person must have good communication skills and be able to work well
within a research group environment.
Applicants must have significant experience and supporting course work
in computer vision, computer graphics, and in the development of large-scale
software projects. Significant programming experience in C/UNIX is also
expected. B.S./M.S. or equivalent experience in directly relevant areas is
required.
Research Programmer Position #2
Digital Mapping Laboratory
School of Computer Science
Carnegie Mellon University
We currently have an opening for a research programmer in the area of
knowledge-based systems for computer vision. The position involves the
continued development of the SPAM scene interpretation system, particularly
in the areas of knowledge acquisition tools, performance evaluation methods,
and in task-level parallelism for high-level vision. Some work in system
maintenance and development, particularly in the areas of computer graphics
and user interfaces, will also be required.
The research programmer will work together with other researchers in the
Digital Mapping Laboratory on related topics in computer vision, large-scale
spatial databases, and in artificial intelligence.
This person must have good communication skills and be able to work well
within a research group environment.
Applicants must have significant experience and supporting course work in
artificial intelligence, computer vision, computer graphics, and in the
development of large-scale software projects. Significant programming
experience in LISP, OPS5, C/UNIX is also expected. B.S./M.S. or equivalent
experience in directly relevant areas is required.

Subject: THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON VISUAL SEARCH
THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON VISUAL SEARCH
The Applied Vision Association is organising the second
international conference devoted totally to the multidisciplinary
topic of visual search. This is to be held at the University of
Durham, U.K. on September 3-6 1990. The conference will attempt to
address all aspects of visual search processing from theory to
practice, and will include (but not be limited to) the following
sessions: Attention and Segmentation; Eye Movements; Computer
Vision; Search Modelling; Applied Aspects of Search. There will
also be a workshop. The conference proceedings will be published.
