This is a rather naive view of academics approach to problem solving.
Ken, you have mixed it up. Normally it's the other way around. One
thing is certain, having tools and poking around, with the hope of
finding a problem is a prescription for very poor science and probably
bad engineering. Is there a fundamental change in NSF philosophy?

Subject: Update on Geometer
An earlier vision-list item describing the Geometer system listed its
FTP address as COINS.CS.UMASS.EDU. Since FTP to this address is not
reliable, those interested should use the address 128.119.40.1 instead.
This seems to work much better. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Subject: Topo from Stereo satellite images
I was encouraged by the recent clarification of the purposes of this
list to ask this question. I don't know if this is considered
"trivial" nowadays. I have several stereo pairs of satellite images
(SPOT panchromatic 6000x6000 pixels) and I want to extract the
topography of the area. I have heard of several companies that are
supposed to sell this as a service, but us poor academics can't afford
too much. Are there numerous references on solutions to this problem?
It seems like it might be easier than most shape-from-stereo-views
problems due to the fact that the earth's surface can be assumed to be
a nearly continuous surface, and we have some approximate elevations
from existing maps. Other suggestions? Thanks.
