Subject: Re: recent attempt to post
MLD's in Ballard and Brown are found in Section 7.3.3 on
pages 214-220.
I am working on an algorithm that recognizes objects from a sequence
of images. I feel recognizing objects in an MLD sense will be
interesting (ie. you can't identifiy the object from any one image but
given the sequence, identification is possible. I am interested in
finding more information of the past application of MLD's with pattern
classification techniques as well as psycophysical experimental
results on the human visual processing of MLD's.
Many Thanks,
Ken Fielding

Subject: Archive of classical image sequences
Hello,
Does anybody know of some archives of classical image sequences used in motion estimation (for example: wheels, caltrain and so on ...) ?
Thanks very much in advance,

Subject: Frame grabber
I wonder if anyone out there knows anything about the CORTEX-1
frame grabber board.
Our supplier seems loth to include the C-library described as "included"
in the specification sheet for free, so I'm looking for another source.
Any ideas? (Or does anyone know of a 512x512 board which I can run
several of simultaneously in one PC?)
All the very best,
Allan Green

AAAI FALL SYMPOSIUM SERIES
MACHINE LEARNING IN COMPUTER VISION: WHAT, WHY and HOW?
October 22-24, 1993 Raleigh, North Carolina
This symposium will bring together researchers from different specialties
in machine learning and computer vision to address issues raised by
examining the use of machine learning in computer vision:
what elements of a computer vision system might be learned
rather than hand-crafted by the designer?
what machine learning paradigms are appropriate to the computer vision
domain (especially across the signal to symbol transition)?
why or how would learning improve the performance / efficiency / ...
of computer vision systems?
how do we go about implementing / exploiting the machine learning
paradigms which seem most appropriate to the computer vision domain?
One of the acknowledged problems with computer vision systems is that they
tend to be hand-crafted application-specific efforts that embody or reflect
rather little in the way of general principles which can adapt easily from
one application environment to another. While some in the computer vision
field are currently reconsidering the goal of "general purpose vision systems"
as possibly too difficult and/or not relevant, there is still the clearly
motivated desire to learn something from the experience in creating a vision
system for one application domain that can be used to make it easier to create
the next vision system.
Since much of the effort in creating a vision system often lies in creating
a database of examples and facts, and in tuning the parameters and operations
of the system to the application domain, learning techniques may be of use in
addressing this problem. However, it is not yet clear what learning
capabilities computer vision systems should have, why these capabilities
should result in computer vision systems that display greater competence and
generality, or how to go about building vision systems that incorporate
learning capabilities.
The images and/or the outputs of low-level image processing operations
tend to be noisy, making it difficult to get "true" segmentation of
images and so unreasonable to assume that the transition from image
signal to symbol is made completely and correctly. Also, large
numbers of exactly labeled examples suitable for inductive learning
are generally not available. There is often some domain knowledge
available and some clear examples, perhaps suggesting a multi-paradigm
learning approach.
Format: The workshop will contain both invited and submitted papers. There
will be several longer talks by invited experts with a number of short
talks. In all cases an emphasis will be on interactive discussion of issues.
One panel will be held on the obstacles to applying learning to vision and
promising approaches. Panel suggestions are encouraged and may be given to any
program committee member. There will be a poster session to encourage
broad participation and discussion.
To present a paper or poster, please submit an extended abstract of 3-5
pages by June 4, 1993. Submission may be by electronic mail (Ascii, latex
or postscript) to:
hall@csee.usf.edu or kwb@csee.usf.edu or by hard copy to:
AAAI-fall workshop
Deparment of Computer Science and Engineering, ENG 118
4202 E. Fowler Ave.
University of South Florida
Tampa, Fl. 33620
Notification of acceptance will be July 10, 1993. Hard copies of final papers are
due August 20, 1993. If you wish to attend the workshop without presenting, please
submit a short supporting statement.

if at least one of the authors is officially registered. The length of
the final paper in the proceedings will be limited to a max of 6 pages
including figures, tables and references.
Trade Exhibits :
Exhibitors wishing to display products related to the IVCNZ theme are

Subject: CFP: Image and Video Compression
CALL FOR PAPERS: IMAGE AND VIDEO COMPRESSION
Part of IS&T/SPIE Symposium on Electronic Imaging: Science & Technology
San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, California, February 6-10, 1994
Recent advances in digital image acquisition and reconstruction
technology, couples with breakthroughs in the
price/performance of digital hardware and firmware, have
resulted in an ever increasing need for storage and
transmission of digital images. Diverse applications include
consumer imaging, facsimile transmission, image archiving,
remote sensing, medicine, broadcasting, entertainment,
education and video teleconferencing.
Image compression refers to the techniques that aim at
reducing the redundancy of the image data to save storage
space, transmission time, channel capacity, or to improve data
access rate.
This conference serves as a forum where advances in digital
image compression techniques and associated software and
hardware implementations can be presented and discussed.
Papers are solicited in the following areas:
* noiseless coding applied to image data (arithmetic
coding, LZW coding, etc.)
* lossless image compression algorithms
* lossy compression of still and sequential
continuous-tone images
* algorithms for the compression of bilevel images
* image compression standards (JPEG, MPEG, JBIG, HDTV,
Photo-CD, etc.)
* VLSI, hardware, and software implementation of image
compression algorithms
* systems issues involving image compression (rate
control, manipulation of compressed bitstreams, integration
with other media, etc).
