Subject: Registration of multiple views of a beating heart
REQUEST FOR REFERENCES FOR REGISTRATION OF MULTIPLE VIEW OF A
BEATING HEART.
We are trying to reconstruct the coronary arteries in three
dimension for a live heart. In order to that several views of the
beating heart should be registered correctly.
Any recommendations of books/journal articles would be very much
appreciated.
Please email to the following address:

FIFTH WORKSHOP ON HUMAN AND MACHINE VISION
Sea Crest Resort,350 Quaker Road, North Falmouth, MA 02556-2903
On June 15, the day following the Optical Society of
America's Image Understanding and Machine Vision Topical
Meeting, the Fifth Workshop on Human and Machine Vision will
be held. Organized by Jacob Beck of the University of Ore-
gon and Azriel Rosenfeld of the University of Maryland, the
Workshop will consist of invited papers on models for human
visual processes. It will be held in the Nauset IV Room,
Sea Crest Resort, North Falmouth, MA from 8:30 to 4 PM.
The Workshop registration fee is $30.
The following papers will be presented:
``Line Segregation'', Jacob Beck, Azriel Rosenfeld, and
Richard Ivry, University of Oregon and University of
Maryland.
``Motion and Texture Analysis'', John Daugman, Harvard
University.
``The Medium is Not the Message in Preattentive Vision'',
James Enns, University of British Columbia.
``A Neural Network Architecture for Form and Motion Percep-
tion'', Stephen Grossberg, Boston University.
``Conservation Laws and the Evolution of Shape'', Benjamin
B. Kimia, Allen Tannenbaum, and Steven W. Zucker,
McGill University.
``A Biological Mechanism for Shape from Shading and
Motion'', Alexander Pentland, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.

Subject: SEMINAR: Prediction of the Illuminant's Effect on Surface Color Appearance
Monday, 2/22, 4:15, Cedar Hall Conference
Prediction of the illuminant's effect on surface color appearance
David H. Brainard
Department of Psychology
Stanford University
Changes in the spectral power distribution of the ambient
illumination change the spectral properties of the light reflected
from a surface to the eye. It is commonly believed that the human
visual system adapts to reduce the change in perceived surface color
appearance under changes of illumination. I use a matching paradigm
to quantify the effects of adaptation to the illuminant on color
appearance. My results show that this adaptation serves to reduce
but not eliminate changes in surface color appearance.
Because there are many possible surfaces and illuminant changes, it
is not possible to measure directly the effects of adaptation for
all of them. I propose using a finite dimensional bi-linear system
to model the process of adaptation. This class of model has two
advantages. First, it is possible to test whether the model
describes the data. Second, to the extent that the model holds, it
allows prediction of the effects of adaptation on the appearance of
any surface for any illuminant change. I present data that test how
well the bi-linear model describes human performance.

Presents
MACHINE VISION -An intensive five-day course for engineers and scientists
concerned with the theory and application of machine vision.
July 10-14, 1989 - New Brunswick, New Jersey
Lectures given by Dr. H. Freeman, and a staff of leading experts noted for
their work in the field of machine vision will provide a detailed presentation
of the concepts and techniques used in applying machine vision to industrial
problems. Emphasis will be placed on sensors,illumination techniques, computer
algorithms,hardware requirements, and system considerations. The material
presented will range from basic techniques to the latest,state-of-the-art
methods. Case studies of actual applications in industry, health care,
surveillance, and the military will be presented.
Registration fee: $895. Includes all materials, texts, etc. (Discount of
10% for 3 or more registrants from same organization.)
Course Location: Hyatt Regency, New Brunswick, N.J.
