Subject: Line length using Hough Transform
Can anyone give me any pointer to literature on finding the length
(not parameters) of a line using Hough Transform. The line may
be short i.e. it may not cross the full image.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Where to find jobs in Image/ digital signal processing?
Hi,
Can anyone tell me what's a good place to look for a job in Electrical
Engineering (Image/ digital signal processing) with a Ph.D degree.
Also, I would like to add that the job should not require US citizen...
I am in Boston right now, and jobs are not comming easy.
Thanks a lot.

Subject: Displaying 24bit/pix images on 8bit/pix device
Organization: The Ohio State University Dept of Electrical Engineering
Hi folks,
We have a few images in 24 bits/pixel format (one byte each of Red, Green
and Blue per pixel). We need to convert these images into sun raster 8 bit
color format or GIF format in order to display on X windows. Is there any
available programs or formulae that would let us either convert these images
to a compatible form or let us display them directly on the X windows?
Any information in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Does anybody knows about the use of fractals in image processing
for texture analysis. Fractals are used in chaos theory and non-
linearities. Answers by e-mail are appreciate. Many thanks.

Subject: postdoctoral position available
YALE UNIVERSITY
Postdoctoral Position in Neural Networks for Vision
One position is open within a research group interested in developing
neural network-based approaches to computer vision and image understanding
problems. We are particularly interested in using model-based optimization
strategies for locating and quantifying objects and other image structures,
and automatically learning the characteristics of new ones; we are in the
process of extending these ideas to scale-space and other continuation
methods for optimization. The group includes three faculty members,
three Ph.D. students and a full time programmer. Collaboration with
researchers in biomedical and neurobiological image processing is also
possible. The position is joint between the Departments of Computer
Science and Diagnostic Radiology. In addition, the research group has
strong ties with faculty members in the Electrical Engineering Department.
Those who apply should have a Ph.D. in a neural network-related field such
as computer science, electrical engineering, applied mathematics or physics,
preferably with a strong background and coursework in image processing and
computer vision. A strong programming ability is also preferred. The
initial appointment will be for one year, renewable for a second year
contingent upon the availability of funds and by mutual agreement. Salary
will be based on background and experience, but is expected to be in the
$28K - $32K range. Review of applications will begin immediately and will
be accepted until the position is filled.
Applicants should send a resume and the names and addresses of three
references to:
Professor Eric Mjolsness,
Department Computer Science, Yale Unversity
P.O. Box 2158 Yale Station
51 Prospect Street
New Haven, Connecticut, 06520,
and should also, if possible, contact him by electronic mail at
mjolsness@cs.yale.edu
OR write and email to:
Professor Gene Gindi

Subject: 3 Research Posts - Computer Vision
Three Research Posts - Computer Vision
University of Edinburgh
Department of Artificial Intelligence
Applications are invited for three researchers to work in the
Department of Artificial Intelligence on a European Institute of
Technology funded research project entitled "Surface-Based Object
Recognition for Industrial Automation" and a SERC funded IED pro-
ject entitled "Location and Inspection from Range Data". Princi-
pal investigators on the projects are Dr. Robert Fisher and Dr.
John Hallam.
The projects investigate the use of laser-stripe based range data
to identify and locate parts as they pass down a conveyor belt.
The vision research to be undertaken includes topics in: surface
patch extraction from range data, surface patch clustering,
geometric object modeling, model matching, geometric reasoning
and parallel image processing. The projects build on substantial
existing research.
One researcher will be expected to take a leading role in the
scientific direction of the projects (5 research staff total) as
well as undertake scientific research. The second researcher
will be more involved in software implementation and testing, but
will be expected to undertake some original research. The third
researcher will be mainly investigating parallel re-
implementations of existing serial vision algorithms on
transputer-based systems. Applicants for the first two posts
should have a PhD (or comparable experience) in an appropriate
area, such as computer vision, image processing, computer science
or mathematics. Applicants for the third post should have at
least a BSc in an appropriate area.
In general, applicants should have experience with the C program-
ming language. Applicants with experience in computer vision,
the UNIX operating system, the C++ language or parallel process-
ing on transputer systems will be preferred.
The details are:
Post Salary (Pounds) Scale Duration Start Date
==========================================================================
1 11399-20372 AR1a/AR2 1 year (probable 2nd year) Nov 1st
2 11399-14744 AR1b/AR1a 2 years Now
3 11399-14744 AR1b/AR1a 1 year (probable 2nd year) Nov 1st
Placement for all posts is according to age, experience and qual-
ifications.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae (3 copies) and the
names and addresses of two referees, and should be sent to the
Personnel Department, University of Edinburgh, 63 South Bridge,
Edinburgh, EH1 1LS by August 21, 1990, from whom further particu-
lars can be obtained. In your application letter, please quote
reference number 5796, and indicate for which of the posts you
are applying.
