Subject: canonical image/vision books?
I would like to have a "canonical" list of important books on image
analysis and vision, which should be considered as compulsory reading
in a course on this subject. Of course I think about Rosenfeld & Kak,
Pratt, Marr, but other references could be suggested, especially more
recent ones.

Subject: Programs for generating Needle Diagrams
Hi,
I was wondering if anybody had a program to generate needle diagrams
for velocity fields (flow fields), preferably on a SUN workstation. Any
information would be appreciated. Please e-mail responses to :
ramamoor@cmx.npac.syr.edu
Thanks in advance,
Ganesh.

I assembled a camera system with 2 motorized lenses about 3 years ago
at the Univ. of Illinois, with N. Ahuja. At the time, several companies
sold motorized lenses, but we could not locate any company which
produced a controller for these lenses which would interface with a
host processor.
We located a small company which specialized in dc servo controllers.
This company, TS Products, was willing to customize a pair of motorized
Vicon lenses so that one of their controllers would drive the lens actuators.
This controller accepts commands from a host over an RS-232 line or
via the IEEE-488 bus. They were willing to work with us in specifying
the system, and we were happy with the results.
They were at
TS Products, Inc.
12455 Branford St.
Bldg-22
Arleta, CA 91331 USA
Phone: 818-896-6676
I believe Vicon still produces motorized lenses for control of
zoom, focus, and aperture.
Some (most?) of these Vicon products are OEM versions of Fujinon lenses.
Their address:
Vicon Industries, Inc.

From: bdd@calmasd.Prime.COM (Brian Donahue)
Subject: stereopsis
I am interested in recovering geometrical surfaces (rather than
just range-like data) from multiple images
of the same object. I believe the technique is called
stereopsis. I have read a few papers on the subject, but
wondered:
a) what are the hidden problems? (things i've thought of
include topological problems like holes in your surface,
whether you're looking at the back or the front, etc.)
b) Is there any PD/shareware code that attempts this?
c) Is there commercial software available that does a
"good" job?
d) Are there any "must-read" papers on the subject?
i am new to this vision-world-stuff, so please dont flame me if these are
ignorant questions...thanks!
