Subject: small camera lens 

Where I could find a source for small lenses for a CCD camera? The lenses 
should be small enough to be glued directly on the CCD chip. I was thinking 
to the lenses mounted on the disposable cameras or the more expensive 
compact size cameras. The quality of the lens itself is not a major concern. 
An non auto-iris wide angle lens would be better but I'm open to suggestions. 

Please e-mail, in case I will receive a lot of "me too" responses I'll 
summarize to the list.

I am in a process of evaluating the feasibility of using KBVision for vision 
research.  I would appreciate any comments on and experiences with KBVision. 
I am particularly interested in knowing the following. 

1) How powerful/flexible/popular is the constraint module?  It seems to me 
   while quite a few people are actually impressed by Excutive Interface 
   (for image dispaly) and Image Examiner, very few people have much 
   experience on the constraint module?  What are the reasons? 

2) How is the knowledge module compared with other intelligent system tools 
such as KEE. 

3) Can KBVision be used in a real time environemnt?  embedded into a 
robotics system?  If not how much overhead involved in the conversion 
between programs for KBVision and regular C programs? 

4) Others. 

Thanks in advance, Chien

Hello,  

thanks a lot for the replies to my article concerning pattern 
recognition of rotated molecules scattered over a surface ("Rotated 
molecules & rotating physics student"). I think the "best" solution is 
using a genetic optimizer that gets a parameter vector (angle & 
displacement) as input and scans for a given pattern. If anyone likes 
the C++ (cfront 2.0) code for a genetic algo- rithm (with bugs 8-)), 
please email me.  To circumvent infinite mail problems there is a new 
BITNET address that worked, at least a message from 
koza@Sunburn.Stanford.EDU came through. 

Best regards,

I'm looking for a video monitor to use with cameras capable of 
producing RS-170 like video but non-interlaced (Panasonic 
GP-MF-702's).  We need this mode to support a pipelined Laplacian of 
Gaussian convolver we are building. 

Any suggestions for a good (but not too expensive monitor)?  Someone 
suggested one of the newer multisync monitors made for PC's and the 
like, anyone know if that works? 

thanks -- Keith    hkn@teleos.com

Hi, netters: 

I am interested in contacting chip/hardware manufacturers for vision 
and neural nets. Do you know who/where they are? If you do, could  
you e-mail me the information? My address is: S.Z.Li@ee.surrey.ac.uk. 

Many thanks in advance.
