From: Matthew Turk <turk>
Organization: Teleos Research, Palo Alto, CA
Subject: Common problems, framegrabbers & cameras
We all know how important hardware and software tools are to our
research -- one very useful function of the Vision-List would be to
serve as a collective for info, specs, and opinions on workstations,
cameras, image processing software, digitizers and other IP boards,
and so on. Perhaps we can keep files on these subjects in the
archives, updated whenever someone cares to add information.
[ I agree with Matt. I have created a new Vision List Archive directory
EQUIPMENT for Vision List postings on video, control, storage,
computing, etc. Relevant postings will be redistributed into files in
these areas that can be assessed via anon FTP.
phil... ]
In the meantime, let me send out pointers for a couple specifics.
We're looking for color cameras and S-bus digitizers, with at least
the following constraints:
Camera: color, RGB output
$2-3k (this probably rules out 3-chip cameras)
C mount lens
control of (or at least ability to turn off auto-) gain and iris
accept genlocking
low blooming
Digitizer:
S-bus (or directly into Sun memory slots)
color, accepts RGB
memory-mapped preferred (i.e. random access of pixels)
E-mail to me; I'll gather responses and post them soon.
Thanks,
Matthew Turk

Subject: Framegrabber with adjustable gain ?
Does anybody know of a framegrabber that allows gain adjustment of the
video signal prior to digitisation. I need a gain adjustment from 1 to
around 50.

Subject: Literature on map recognition
Hi all!
I'm looking for literature (papers, articles, books...) on
automatic or semi-automatic map recognition (feature extraction
from raster scanned maps). Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Please send your hints to my email address:
bru@ipfo.bau-verm.uni-karlsruhe.de
If others are interested, I will send a summary to the vision-list.
Thanks in advance, Regine

Organization: Oxford University Computing Laboratory, UK
Subject: Combination of multiple 3d views to form model
Could someone please provide references to articles that discuss
the combinination of multiple 3-D views of an object.
The problem is as follows:
A laser rangefinder and colour sensor are being used to obtain
a data set of X,Y,Z, and R,G,B values for an object. 2 or
more data sets are recorded from different directions. There is
necessarily some overlap in the areas scanned.
The idea is to combine the views to provide a complete digital
representation of the object being scanned. The overlapped areas
would be used to position and 'lock' the different views together.
I'm looking for any work that has been already done in this area.
Thanks in advance for the refrences.

Subject: Wanted:Feature Extraction Method
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a graduate student in the Master's program at the University of
Maine in Orono.
My thesis mainly focuses on recognition of handwritten numbers using
Neural Networks. The numbers that we are trying to use are "United States
Postal Service Office of Advanced Technology Handwritten ZIP Code Database
(1987)" supplied by the US Postal Service in Washington DC. This database
contains images of handwritten ZIP Codes.
We are trying to use a set of features for the identification task.
We would be grateful if you could supply us with a database of features that
you might have used in your research.
Even if you don't have the database available, any software that can
provide us with the following functions would be highly appreciated:
- Binarization
- Normalization
- Separation
- Feature Extraction
- Identification using Neural Networks
You can call me at: (207) 581-2025 / (207) 866-3606 or
email at: sharma@watson.eece.maine.edu
Thanking You.
Sincerely
Lalit Sharma

Program Committee
=================
The international program committee will consist of
approximately 40 members from all main fields of AI and
from Cognitive Science.
We invite researchers from the various areas of Artificial
Intelligence, Cognitive Science and Pattern Recognition,
including Vision, Learning, Knowledge Representation and
Foundations, to submit articles which assess or review the
progress made so far in their respective areas, as well as
the relevance of that progress to the whole enterprise of
AI. Other papers which do not address the theme are also
invited.
Feature
=======
Four 70 minute invited talks and five panel discussions are
devoted to the chosen topic: "Are we moving ahead: Lessons
from Computer Vision." The speakers include (in
alphabetical order)
* Lev Goldfarb
* Stephen Grossberg
* Robert Haralick
* Tomaso Poggio
Such a concentrated analysis of the area will be undertaken
for the first time. We feel that the "Lessons from Computer r
Vision" are of relevance to the entire AI community.
