Subject: Stereo without regularization code now available
We have developed an algorithm for stereo without regularization. We
would like to make the code public. We would appreciate if you would
distribute the following message:
STEREO WITHOUT REGULARIZATION.

U.S.A.
We have developed a maximum likelihood stereo algorithm that avoids
the need for regularization based on smoothing of disparities or their
gradients. The algorithm imposes uniqueness and monotonic ordering
constraints common to other algorithms. A dynamic programming
algorithm allows matching of the two epipolar lines of length $N$ and
$M$ respectively in $O(NM)$ time and in $O(N)$ time if a disparity
limit is set.
The algorithm is independent of the feature primitives. However for
experimental purposes we use individual pixel intensities. This
has the advantages of
(1) Eliminating the feature extraction stage
(2) Eliminating the complex adaptive windows
(3) Producing dense depth maps
A high percentage of correct matches and little smearing of depth
discontinuities is obtained based on matching individual pixel
intensities. Because feature extraction and adaptive windowing are
unnecessary, a fast implementation is possible. A 512x480 image takes
approximately 50 seconds on a SPARC-2 workstation.
The algorithm was described at this years British Machine Vision
Conference, Leeds, Sept. 21-24, 1992, pp 337-346 (Editors: David Hogg
& Roger Boyle Publisher: Springer-Verlag). A Technical Report is
available from NEC Research Institute.
If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the C code, please send

Subject: Need data to check segmentation of 3D space curves
We've recently designed some algorithms for segmenting 3D space
curves into straight lines and (planar) circular arcs. We've tested
then on predominantly synthetic data and now want to try them on
some real data. Some sources of 3D curve data that come to mind are
the output of curve based stero algorithms, curves derived from range
images, characteristic curves (e.g. ridge points) extracted from 3D
data sets (e.g. MRI, CAT). Can anyone provide us with such 3D curve
data?

from this very clearly written paper containing examples, i was able
to code a fast-running shape-based interpolation program in rather
short order. i recommend this paper highly.
the bad news is that my xerox copy of the paper doesn't indicate the
date it was published, nor the journal in which it was published (if
any). if anyone has this information, i'd appreciate it if they could
send it to me. otherwise, raj, i'll send you a copy via snail-mail if
you're interested.

Subject: Intelligient System for Image Recognition?
Hi! I am working in an applied R&D institute and is involved
primarily in graphics and image processing work. I am interested in
finding out if there are any research institutions or individuals who
are involved in developing 'intelligient' systems (Expert System,
Neural_Net, Fuzzy Logic, or combinations of the different AI
techniques etc.) for image recognition. Of special interests to me
are systems which are able to 'reason' and 'learn' to recognise
complex shapes after having been 'taught' to recogn ise basic shapes
like squares, circles, triangles. I am also wondering about the
feasibility of building a system that can 'interpolate' from a given
incomplete shape (eg. occluded objects) like what the brain does when
it recognises objects.
All replies are deeply appreciated. Thank you.
Chian Prong.

[ ... ] I am aware about some work on grasping that involved my method
of recovering superquadric volumetric models from range data (IEEE
PAMI-12(2):131-147, 1990). I am afraid that I don't have their papers
at hand but one group that worked on the problem of grasping is at
Columbia University (dr. Peter Allen) and another at Carnegie_Mellon
University (dr. Eric Krotkov). I am sure that they would be happy to
send you their latest work on that subject.

Sharon Stansfield (formerly of UPenn, now at Sandia Nat'l Labs) did
some work on grasping in the mid-late eighties. Her's was more (I
think) from the tactile point of view but you might want to check how
much attention she paid to aspects of visual processing. Also, I
don't know what exactly she's been doing in the last 4-5 years, so
check it out.

I'm afraid I can give you only very sketchy references (based on memory) as
I am away this summer, but I can think of three possibilities:
1. Octree representation
You should check out IROS 91 proceedings; it has a paper on grasp planning
that you might be interested in. Basically the approach is to slice the
volume and from analysis of adjacent slices, produces possible grasp sites.
The authors are from Italy, if I am not mistaken.
2. Boundary/surface extraction
Stansfield of Sandia Labs did her Ph.D. on grasp planning using range
data. She has a paper in ICRA 87 or 88.
3. Superquadric representation
This has been used at CMU. The project involves modeling rocks using
superquadrics and aligning the gripper parallel to the major axis prior to
picking up the rock. If you require more information, you can e-mail
ki@cs.cmu.edu (Katsushi Ikeuchi).

The work of Kumar and Waldron always seems conceptually good
to me, and Cutkosky is worth reading to. He wrote an
introductory book a few years ago, which has a lot of interesting
ideas.

I have started some work related to this, but I will use a simulation

domain of neural computation.
You are tackling a very difficult problem that has not been solved
yet. But for references you should check the last years' issues of
the Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference of Robotics and
Automation and try to find something with the Science Citation Index
(SCI).

From: Lance Gatrell (303) 977-2052 <gatrell@saturn.den.mmc.com>
I saw your request for info on 3D grasp planning.
I did my MS thesis on CAD based grasp planning. They were
3D models. The parallel jaw gripper had to be able to plan a
grasp from any orientation. What I did (to simplify the computations),
was to rotate the model as needed so that the pair of faces that I was
planning a grasp on were parallel to the XY plane. After determining
the "quality" of the grasp, I unrotated the gripper. This gives you
what you were asking for, I believe.
You can read about in the proceedings of the 1989 IEEE Conference on
Robotics and Automation, Vol. 1 (as I recall), entitled something like
"CAD-Based Grasp Planning Using Polygons, Edges, and Vertexes," author
Lance B. Gatrell.
I'm curious to know if this helps, and what happens with your work.

Some days ago, I posted a request for pointers to the following subjects:
1.Techniques for range finding and range image acquisition;
2.Range Image segmentation;
3.Geometrical reasoning for world modelling and model matching;
I got several pointers to subjects 2 and 3 and none for subjet 1. Follows a
