Subject: VME Image Compression/Decompression
A while ago I posted a request for information on VME bus image
capture and display cards that compress images according to the JPEG
standard. I got several leads, none of which panned out -- they led
to cards for other busses, such as the S-bus (Datacube makes such a
card, for example), or to cards that were apparently not announced
yet. But a student (Luke Tuttle) working with me finally found such a
card. It is made by PsiTech: the PsiTech Video/1 VMEbus Series
Compressed Video/Graphics Processor. There is an image compression
card (which accepts various format video inputs, and claims to run at
30 frames/second) and a display card (which claims "full motion video"
without exactly stating that it is 30 frames/second, making me
suspicious). Both are claimed to be compliant with the JPEG standard.
I understand that the cards are in board layout now, and are to be
available in April. PsiTech's phone numbers are (800) 872-7385, (714)
964-7818, FAX (714) 968-7884.

Subject: 3D modeling and object motion
I have an upcoming project in which I will need images that were
generated by a program that allows me to model simple objects and the
motion that they are experiencing. (No, that is not the project, that
is the _input_ to the project.) Are there any public domain cad
programs for X-based machines that will do this for me, or could be
easily modified to make this work? I am envisioning simple things
like cubes and spheres undergoing translation and rotation. I would
also like to put together a more complicated scene, and suspect that
this task would be made easier by a program that someone spent some
time building an interface for.
Any pointers would be valuable to me, as I am unaware of any public
domain software that does this.
e-mail to rkc@ll.mit.edu is preferred.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
-Rob

Subject: Advice for Automatic Visual inspection in real time
Hi,
I'm developing a automatic visual inspection system for finding
defects on hot steel surface in real time. The steel plates are
over 700 degrees in Celsius, 4 meters wide and moving 1 m/sec.
We are going to extract 23 features(which I conceived) from the
image , identify the kind of defects and locate the exact position
of the defects on the plate.
I'm going to establish a small group to share the opinions and
information to develop this real-time inspection system.
Please contact me if you have any advice or if you are interested
in this matter. I'll discuss with you in detail.
Good-bye !

I have a number of contour plots in unix plot format that I would
like to print. Does anyone know of public domain software which
can translate plot files to postscript or hpgl ?

Subject: Textbook for Structural Pattern Recognition
I teach a graduate-level course in pattern recognition. I have been
using "Syntactic Pattern Recognition and Applications" by K. S. Fu,
Prentice Hall, 1983 as one of the textbooks for this course. I have
just found out that this text is out of print, as of February 1991.
If you have a copy of this book that you would like to resell, please
send me email (blostein@qucis.queensu.ca). Also I would appreciate
comments about other textbooks on syntactic/structural pattern
recognition.
Thanks for your help.

J. Anthony Movshon, New York University
Computational approaches to neuroscience have produced important
advances in our understanding of neural processing. Prominent
successes have come in areas where strong inputs from neurobiological,
behavioral and computational approaches can interact. Through a
combination of lectures and hands-on experience with a computer
laboratory, this intensive course will examine several areas,
including the biophysics of computation, visual filters and channels,
motion analysis, binocular stereopsis, color vision, processing of
texture and pattern, effects of attention and memory, and oculomotor
function.
The theme is that an understanding of the computational problems, the con-
straints on solutions to these problems, and the range of possible solutions
can help guide research in neuroscience. Students should have experience in
neurobiological or computational approaches to visual processing. A strong
background in mathematics will be beneficial.
Guest lecturers will include: Rudiger von der Heydt, Stephen Lisberger,
Jitendra Malik, Suzanne McKee, Ken Nakayama, William Newsome, Terrence
Sejnowski, David Sparks and Brian Wandell.
The deadline for application is March 15, 1992. Applications and addi-
tional information may be obtained from:

BRITISH MACHINE VISION CONFERENCE
University of Leeds, 21-24 September 1992
The British Machine Vision Conference is the main UK conference for machine
vision and related topics. The emphasis is on UK research being undertaken
through national or international collaborative projects, providing a forum
for the presentation and discussion of the latest results of investigations.
Papers from other nations, especially those collaborating with UK groups, are
also very welcome.
A printed copy of the Proceedings will be available to delegates at the
conference, and a selection of the best papers will be published separately in
a special issue of Image and Vision Computing Journal.
Contributions are sought on any novel aspect relating to machine vision and
pattern analysis, including:
* image processing and feature extraction * practical applications
* object recognition and scene analysis * model based coding
* reconstruction of 3D shape * architectures
* advanced pattern analysis * active vision
* computational issues in perception * motion analysis
* robotic vision and sensor fusion * neural networks
Full papers not exceeding 10 pages (approx. 5000 words if no figures) should
be submitted for review. Papers will be accepted either for oral presentation
or for presentation as posters. All papers accepted will appear in the
Proceedings. Papers will be reviewed by the BMVA Committee.
Three cash prizes will be given, one for the podium paper and one for the
poster paper judged by the programme committee to make the best scientific
contribution, and one for the paper judged to have the most commercial
potential.

The following report is available. It deals with the use of lattice
theory in mathematical morphology, a branch of image processing based
on non-linear picture transformations.

Lattice-theoretical fixpoint theorems in morphological image filtering
by
C. Ronse
January 1992
ABSTRACT.
In mathematical morphology, Matheron has described the complete
lattice structure of several classes of increasing (isotone)
operators, such as filters. These results can be interpreted in terms
of fixpoints of certain types of transformations of the lattice of
increasing operators. Moreover Heijmans and Serra have given
conditions for the construction of such operators by convergence of an
iteration of increasing operators. We recall some known
lattice-theoretical fixpoint ideas, originating from Tarski's 1955
paper. A slight elaboration on the underlying methodology leads to the
above-mentioned results and some others as a consequence of the
general theory.
