From: pic@mlb.dmt.csiro.au
Subject: image moments with changing camera position
I'm trying to find information about how moments of a planar object
(or face) change with camera position. The general case for
perspective transform would be best. I am not after invariant
moments.
Any pointers to articles in the literature would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Subject: need for high frequency 2D modulator
I am looking for a transmission or reflection mode high frequency 2D
beam modulator, something like liquid crystal except capable of
kilohertz to megahertz range bit toggling. Size and resolution is less
critical than speed at this time.
I would imagine some of the list readers have worked in optical
computation, especially in the digital/optical interface end and are
quite familiar with such devices. I would like very much to get some
pointers to researchers and commercial outfits making these devices.
Please reply by email (sjw@ai.mit.edu) if possible. If not, my office
phone at MIT is (617) 253-5848.

Subject: Looking for Stereo image pairs
I am currently doing my Honours, and I need some stereo image pairs
for my project. Any size will do - I'm not fussy. If anyone has
any images they could send me, or knows of any ftp sites etc. that
have image pairs, I'd be grateful if they could contact me via E-mail.
(I know of the stuff at ADS.COM - I just want some additional material
to use.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin Haines. ( E-mail haines@cs.adelaide.edu.au )

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS IN ADVANCED OPTICS AND IMAGING
A Conference Sponsored by
SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering
and High Technology of Rochester, Inc.
9-10 October 1991
Stouffer Rochester Plaza Hotel
Rochester, NY
PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS
Since the 1980s, technologies of advanced optics and imaging have come
to be applied in numerous industries, from photography to medical
instrumentation, avionics to office systems, and defense industries to
consumer electronics. These technologies (sometimes referred to as
photonics) can now be placed alongside the most important
technological advances of the late 20th century, such as biotechnology
and advanced microelectronics.
Industrial nations have responded in various ways to these
developments in optics and imaging. In Japan, optoelectronic products
have had the highest growth rate of any industry. In the United
States, which has made massive military and commercial investments in
these technologies, incomplete evidence suggests a less successful
industrial performance. France, Germany, Taiwan, Israel and the United
Kingdom, among other nations, have achieved significant advances.
Persons from industry, government, and academic institutions are
invited to submit papers that address issues of competitiveness in
advanced optics and imaging. Sessions will be held on some of the
following topics:
- the growing economic significance of advanced optics and imaging in the
domestic and world economy
- relative performance among nations of the world and regions of the United
States in optics and imaging
- problems of data availability for tracking development in optics and imaging
and other technologies
- government policies and strategies for responding to advanced optics and
imaging in a world economy: industrial policy, competitiveness policy,
technological targeting, and industry-led policy
- education of scientists and engineers in optics and imaging: evidence on
present trends, government policies, programs of academic institutions,
recruitment of minorities and women
- US technology policy under the Bush administration
- domestic and foreign policies of research support, technological
standardization, and international research cooperation
- industrial consortia, research cooperation, and industry-university research
centers
- entrepreneurship and technological start-up businesses versus multinational
corporations in advanced optics and imaging
- export performance, export policy, and export cooperation in the US and other
nations
- military-industrial technological and educational relationships in optics and
imaging in the wake of changes in Eastern Europe
- public policies and government-industry-university cooperation with respect
to major, systematic applications of optics and imaging, such as:
- telecommunications networks
- office imaging systems
- medical imaging systems
- optoelectronic or optical computing
- applications to human disabilities
- Selected papers will be published in a Proceedings by SPIE-The International
Society for Optical Engineering (possibly in conjunction with another
publisher).

CONFERENCE ON COMPETITIVENESS SET FOR ROCHESTER THIS FALL
SPIE
This conference on International Competitiveness in Advanced Optics and
Imaging will address important issues in the global advancement of cooperation
and development in optics, optoelectronics, and related fields.
The October 9-10 meeting in Rochester, New York, will be chaired by Ernest
Sternberg of the State University of New York at Buffalo.
According to chairman Ernest Sternberg (SUNY/Buffalo), the meeting comes at a
time when optics and imaging technologies are becoming critical to the
competitiveness of many economic sectors and many nations. "Optics and imaging
are coming to have revolutionary economic importance in the world," he said.
"This will grow even further when computer, communications, and imaging
applications come to be integrated at light speed."
Sternberg added that in Japan, which had one of the world's highest growth
rates in the 1980s, the technological sector with the highest growth rate
was optoelectronics.
The conference will include a plenary session entitled "Technological
Competitiveness in a Global Economy," chaired by Brian J. Thompson, Provost of
the University of Rochester. The session will include the following speakers
and topics:
* Craig Fields, Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corp.: "What is U.S.
competitiveness and how do we get it?"
* D.B. Keck, Director of Optoelectronics Research at Corning: "Fiber optics: a
communications revolution."
* Mark B. Myers, Vice President of the Corporate Research Group at Xerox:
"Corporate technologies in a global economy."
* E.P. Przybylowitz, Senior VP and Director of Research at Eastman Kodak:
"Strategic intent and architecture: keystones for international
competitiveness."
Conference Chair Ernest Sternberg will chair a session on "Tracking Advanced
Optics: Data on Where Nations Stand," followed by a session on "Comparative
National Initiatives in Optics and Imaging," chaired by Joseph van Zwaren de
Zwarenstein of the Israeli Ministry of Science and Technology. This will
include presentations from France, Taiwan, Canada, Japan, and the United
Kingdom.
Sessions on State and Local Technology Policy and Federal Policy
Directions for Advanced Optics and Imaging will examine problems and
progress in various U.S. technology programs. Rounding out the
conference will be a session on new and creative approaches to
technology development: "New Technology Alliances" will be chaired by
Bruce W. Arden, University of Rochester. The final session and
discussion will focus on the Future of Optics and Imaging (chair
Edward C. McIrvine, Consultant in R&D Management), with a keynote
address by David M. Lewis of Eastman Kodak Company on "Images of the
future: tomorrow's imaging systems."
Sternberg said the competitiveness meeting represents the first time
that people from around the world and from many differeent walks of
life will meet to discuss the future of the field from the point of
view of its public importance. "Participants will have a chance to
exchange ideas on how governments are responding to advanced optics,
on the many varieties of industry-government-university cooperation,
and on strategies by which the field can best advance itself."
