Subject: Request for Information on Underwater Imaging Hardware
Dear Colleagues:
We are in the process of determining the best (in terms of
price/performance) underwater image acquisition
and processing hardware for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. We
would like to perform some simple filtering operations on the image.
Any information about previous experiences and vendor preferences will be
greatly appreciated.
Recursive thanks in advance.

Subject: Looking for a survey paper in High Resolution Image Reconstruc..
I am currently involved in a reconstruction of a high resolution image from
a squence of low resolution images. However, I have a difficulty in finding
references which related to this problem. So far, I've found only 2 Refs:
1) Multiframe Image Restoration and Registration, R.Y.Tsai and
T.S.Huang, in Advances in Computer Vision and Image Processing Vol.1,
T.S.Huand,Ed Jai Press, 1984.
2) Recursive Reconstruction of High Resolution Image From Noisy
UndersaBmpled Multiframes, S.P.Kim, IEEE Acoustics, Speech and Sig.
1990.
Does anybody know any survey paper or other articles related to this area of
research?
Thanks in advance.

Summary: Translating grey scale images to line drawings
Hello,
I am posting this for a colleague here, who does not have access to the net,
but has a problem I was hoping someone could help with.
An object is being digitised, using a video digitiser plugged into an
IBM PC, and produces a grey scale image (or colour scale as the case
may be) file, with an .pcx extension.
What the person needs is a package which takes a grey scale image as input, ie
a .pcx file, and constructs a line drawing representation, such as could be
edited/displayed as part of a vision experiment on an Apple MAC. Or just a
.pcx display program for a MAC.
This translation process could be done either on the pc or the MAC. If it is
not possible to do it this way, the result will be a lot of wasted time !
If anyone has any suggestions as to how this could be done, or programs that
will do all or part of the process, I would be very grateful.
PLEASE post replies to my email address below, our net news access is a little
dodgy !!

MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
The Department of Computer Science invites applications for
anticipated te Nure-stream positions at the assistant and associate levels,
rank and salary commensurate with experience. Candidates from all areas of
specialization in computer science or computer engineering will be
considered; however, the department has a special interest in candidates in
the areas of software engineering, COMPUTER VISION, and scientific visualiza-tion who also are interested in parallel computing. The research foci of
the department include artificial intelligence and knowledge-based systems,
computer architecture and design automation, parallel and distributed
computing systems and algorithms, pattern recognition and image processing,
software systems, and theoretical computer science. Candidates should have
a Ph.D. in computer science or computer engineering and have a strong
interest in both research and teaching.
The appointments will begin in August, 1992. For full consideration,
applications should be submitted by February 1, 1992. However, applications
will be accepted until the positions are filled.
As a unit within the College of Engineering at Michigan State
University, Computer Science offers the Bachelor of Science, Master of
Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The department currently has 26
tenure-stream faculty, and an enrollment of 180 graduate students and 480
undergraduates. Special support is available from within the college and
university to initiate research by new faculty members. Faculty offices
are connected to the MSUnet which provides access to an array of campus
computing resources including the facilities of the College of Engineering,
the Department's Pattern Recognition and Image Processing Laboratory,
Artificial Intelligence/Knowledge Based Systems Laboratory, and the
Advanced Computing Systems Laboratory. Additional facilities available to
faculty include an IBM 3090/180E vector processor, a 4-processor
Convex C-240, a 96-node BBN GP-1000, 45-node BBN TC-2000, and a 64-node
nCUBE. Access to select off-campus computers is available.
Michigan State University enjoys a park-like campus of 2,100
developed acres and 3,100 acres of experimental farms, outlying research
facilities and natural areas. The campus is adjacent to the cities of
East Lansing and the capital city, Lansing. The Greater Lansing area
has approximately 250,000 residents. The communities have fine school
systems and place a high value on education.
Applicants should send a letter of intent, resume, the names of
three references, and a statement of research and teaching interests to:

International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR)
CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION
WORKSHOP ON CONTEXTUAL METHODS IN PATTERN RECOGNITION
The Hague, The Netherlands
August 29, 1992
Context is very important in many one-dimensional and multi-dimensional
pattern recognition tasks. Presently, it is an area of substantial
research activity.
The IAPR Technical Committee 1 on Statistical Pattern Recognition will
organize a one-day Workshop on contextual methods in pattern recognition
August 29, 1992 in The Hague. The meeting will take place just prior to
the 11th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition.
The Workshop will commence with an invited talk, followed by about 15
contributed papers of 20 minutes each. The Workshop will end with a panel
discussion on new research directions in this topic.
Original contributions for presentation at this Workshop are being
solicited. Topics of particular interest
are new methodologies, theoretical considerations and practical applications.
Please submit a two-page abstract in English
written in 12 pitch and with normal margins. The review and
selection of the submitted abstracts will be done by the Program Committee.
The abstracts will be published in the Workshop Proceedings.
Six (6) copies of previously unpublished, extended abstracts should reach the
Program Chair by April 1, 1992. Authors will be notified of the acceptance
of the abstract for oral presentation by May 15, 1992. Accepted abstracts
which cannot be presented due to shortage of time will be printed in
the Proceedings.
The Workshop registration fee is $60 US, and will include a copy of the
proceedings and beverage during breaks. Registration with payment in
US$ (check or Charge Card Number: Visa, Master Card, American Express,
Eurocard) is due no later than June 1, 1992 to the Workshop Chair.
