Subject: Request for Public Domain Image Processing Packages
Status: RO
I am collecting any and all public-domain image processing packages.
I plan on making them available to all via the vision-list FTP site
(disk space permitting). Send pointers and packages themselves to
johnston@ads.com (not vision-list@ads.com). Thanks.

Subject: [comp.sys.mac.hardware...] Sega 3D glasses document fix 1.2
Date: 8 Jan 90 20:16:53 GMT
Followup-To: comp.sys.mac.hardware
Approved: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti)
This is patch 1.2 of the Sega 3D glasses interface document. It
supersedes versions 0.9, 1.0 and 1.1 of the document. Version 1.2 is
available with anonymous ftp from vega.hut.fi [130.233.200.42].
pub/mac/finnish/sega3d/
Version 0.9 and 1.0 of the document have the TxD+ and TxD- pins
reversed. This causes problems only with my demo software and can
be noticed easily, because both lenses show the same image. Fix
this problem by pulling out the TxD+ and TxD- pins from the miniDIN
connector, swap them and push back in.
Version 1.1 (which is what you have after you make the previous
change) has the tip and center of the glasses connector switched.
Again this doesn't cause any problems unless you use the demo
software. The spiro and Macintosh demos will clearly be inside
the screen and their perspectives will look wrong. To fix the
problem resolder the connector or change the software to swap
the meanings of left and right. If you intend to write for the
glasses, it might be a good idea to include an option to switch
left and right.

Subject: Connected Component Algorithm
I was wondering if anybody out there in net-land knows an image analysis
technique to locate connected components in digital images. In particular,
I am looking for an algorithm that can be implemented in hardware that makes
only one pass through the image in scan-line order and reports several simple
component features such as component extent (Minimum and Maximum X and Y
coordinates) and the number of foreground pixels in the component.
The project I am on is planning to design and develop custom image analysis
hardware to do this. We have developed an algorithm locally and was wondering
if somebody else has an easier method.
I know about the LSI Logic "Object Contour Tracer Chip" but this chip appears
to be too powerful (and slow) for this application. I had found some papers
by Gleason and Agin dated about 10 years ago but could not find the exact
details of their algorithm.
Does anybody else have a need for such hardware?
Any help or pointers on locating such an algorithm would be appreciated.

THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER VISION
International House Osaka, Osaka, Japan
December 4-7, 1990

THE CONFERENCE
ICCV'90 is the third International Conference devoted solely to
computer vision. It is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society.
THE PROGRAM
The program will consist of high quality contributed papers on
all aspects of computer vision. All papers will be refereed by
the members of the Program Committee. Accepted papers will
be presented as long papers in a single track or as short pa-
pers in two parallel tracks.
PROGRAM COMMITTEE
The Program Committee consists of thirty prominent members
representing all major facets of computer vision.
PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors should submit four copies of their papers to Saburo Tsuji
at the address shown below by April 30, 1990. Papers must con-
tain major new research contributions. All papers will be re-
viewed using a double-blind procedure, implying that the identi-
ties of the authors will not be known to the reviewers. To make
this possible, two title pages should be included, but only one
containing the names and addresses of the authors; the title page
with the names and addresses of the authors will be removed prior
to the review process. Both title pages should contain the title
of the paper and a short (less than 200 words) abstract. Au-
thors must restrict the lengths of their papers to 30 pages; that
length should include everything, meaning the title pages, texts
(double-spaced), figures, bibliography, etc. Authors will be no-
tified of acceptance by mid-July. Final camera-ready papers,
typed on special forms, will be due mid-August.
Send To: Saburo Tsuji,
Osaka University, Department of Control Engineering, Toyonaka,
Osaka 560, Japan.
