Subject: Stereo sequence
Hi:
I have sent asking about a dense stereo sequence where the
stereo is translating forward and there are independently
moving objects. I also searched in the archive with no luck.
Could you please pass my message to the newsgroup, because
some researchers might have their own sequences and are welling
to share it.
Thank you,
mottaleb

Subject: Graph & image references request
I am currently working on an image segmentation problem. My approach is to get
an oversegmented image and then apply some kind of region growing based on the
obtained regions. Presently I am trying to represent the segmented image as a
region adjacency graph.
I am looking for some bibliography on the topics: graphs and image-analisys,
graphs and image-segmentation, region-growing methods using graphs.

===================================
IEEE WORKSHOP ON QUALITATIVE VISION
===================================
Monday, June 14, 1993
Omni Park Central, New York City, NY
WORKSHOP THEME
==============
Understanding, representing and incorporating information on object
qualities from disparate sources is key to building more general and
functional computer vision systems. Effective representation depends
upon:
* object attributes captured by a representation or description
* the interplay and synthesis of these qualities when multiple
object descriptions are available
* the computational aspect of object qualities that participate in
an effective representation
* functional object qualities that guide visual reasoning.
The goal of the IEEE Workshop on Qualitative Vision is to bring
together researchers from different disciplines for the active
discussion of the technical issues and problems related to the
development of qualitative vision techniques. This one day Workshop
will be held in New York City preceding CVPR93. Sessions will be led
by an invited talk, and reviewed papers will be discussed and
published in a Workshop proceedings distributed by IEEE. Issues to be
discussed include:
* the synthesis of multiple visual qualities (e.g., perceptual
grouping, reasoning over disparate sources)
* the study of salient features or object qualities (e.g., robust
features which are invariant under image transformations)
* efficient and innovative visual qualities to support purposive
operations (e.g., as exploited by active vision systems)
* discussion of differences between qualitative and reconstructive
approaches.

STUDENT HOUSING
===============
There is a limited amount of student housing available on Columbia's campus.
Columbia is located on the #1 subway line making it a short ride to the
conference hotel. More information and directions are available via ftp.
Student housing must be paid in advance. A non-refundable 15% deposit is
DUE BY APRIL 15, AND FULL PAYMENT BY MAY 15. There is, no ``block'' of rooms,
so their is no guarantee of a room until the deposit is received. There are
two types of rooms: type-1 which are air conditioned suites with 2 or 4
(separate) bedrooms sharing a a living/dining room with TV, a kitchen and
bathroom/shower), and type-2 which are NOT air conditioned and which have a
bathroom/shower and TV lounge shared by 15-20 rooms. All student housing is
co-ed.
The earlier you book the room the better the chance of getting type 1 rooms.
``Grouping" of rooms can be arranged ONLY IF THE REQUESTS are send in the same
package. If you request type one housing and none is left you should let us
know if you want a type 2 instead (with a refund of the difference) or a full
refund.
This ``student'' housing is available as follows:
From -- To Plan Type-1 | Plan Type-2
3pm -- 10am Code Cost | Code Cost
Sat 6/12 -- Sat 6/19 A-t1 $208 | E-t2 $160
Sat 6/12 -- Fri 6/18 B-t1 $178 | F-t2 $137
Sun 6/12 -- Fri 6/18 C-t1 $148 | G-t2 $115
Mon 6/12 -- Fri 6/18 D-t1 $118 | H-t2 $90
Send email to cvpr_student_housing@cs.columbia.edu as soon as possible with
your requests. We reiterate there is no ``block'' of rooms, so their is no
guarantee of a room until the 15% deposit is processed. Send plan choice and a
check, payable in US dollars to Columbia University, to:
CVPR Student Housing c/o T. Boult
450 Comp. Sci Building
Department of Computer Science
Columbia University, NYC NY 10027.
The number of ``student" rooms is rather limited; if you are interested do not
delay, send email today.
TRAVEL, MISC INFO
=================
There is no ``special'' airline, call your travel agent for best prices. NYC
is one of the cheapest airline destinations, and it may pay to shop around a
little. NYC is served by 3 airports: JFK, LaGuardia and Newark (NJ).
There is a shuttle bus (Grayline, Inc.) between the hotel and the area airports
at a cost of $15 (JFK), $12 (LaGuardia) and $17 (Newark). Book your shuttle
by calling 1-800-451-0455 or (212)315-3006 or calling the hotel and asking for
extension 175. If you plan to arrive as a group, a discount can be
prearranged. You can also take a cab, the cost between $25 and $35, can also
be split. For the really budget conscious, there are bus/subway combinations
which only cost 1-3 dollars, get details via ftp.
There is a garage right next to the hotel. A car is not very useful in NYC,
parking is a hassel or is expensive ($\approx$ $10 a day). Consider using
public transportation if you can, otherwise ftp driving_directions.
If you are coming from the east coast, don't forget the train, which is
generally cheaper and sometimes more convenient. Amtrak trains will take you
to 34th st Penn Station NY. From there take a cab to the hotel or take the #1
or A or C line subway's to 59th street and walk (get a local map via ftp if
you like).
For those with children, the hotel does not, unfortunately, have a day care
center. They suggest contacting the Babysitting Guild (212)682-0227, who will
do in-hotel sitting.
If you are interested in theater tickets to a play, a musical, or an opera,
consider booking them now. Popular times for some shows, e.g Les Miserables
and Phantom of the Opera, are nearly sold-out 3-6 months in advance. Call the
hotel and ask for the theater desk (x175). They also book a variety of NYC
sightseeing tours including ones to Liberty and/or Ellis islands.

Subject: AAAI Fall Symposium Workshop on Machine Learning in Computer Vision
AAAI FALL SYMPOSIUM SERIES
MACHINE LEARNING IN COMPUTER VISION: WHAT, WHY and HOW?
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:

CALL FOR PAPERS
IMAGE AND VIDEO PROCESSING II
Part of IS&T/SPIE Symposium on Electronic Imaging: Science & Technology
San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, California, February 6-10, 1994
Conference Chairs: Sarah Rajala, North Carolina State University;
Robert Stevenson, University of Notre Dame.
The processing of digital image and video data is quickly emerging from
the research laboratory to have a profound and lasting effect on the way
visual data is stored, transmitted and displayed. In the near future,
digital imagery will be the norm rather then the exception in everyday
life. This format provides great power and flexibility in the ways in which
a person can deal and interact with visual information. In order to tap
into the full benefits of such a format there is still a great need for
the development of techniques, algorithms hardware and software for the
manipulation, restoration and understanding of image and video data.
Papers which deal with these issues and which provide new and interesting
techniques to address these problems are solicited.
The intention of this conference is to introduce advances in the
processing of digital image and video data. New ideas, algorithms, models,
hardware and software for the processing of such data sets will be
discussed.
Papers are invited in the following and related areas:
* Image/Video restoration, reconstruction and enhancement
* Color image/video processing, representation and transformations
* Adaptive methods for image/video processing
* Image/Video filtering
* Image modeling
* Hardware and software implementations for image/video processing
* Novel image/video processing algorithms
* Image and video segmentation and analysis
* Motion estimation

The editors of Psyche invite the submission of papers for publication
in the forthcoming inaugural issue of Psyche: an interdisciplinary
journal of research on consciousness (ISSN: 1039-723X). Our intention
is to promote research on the nature of consciousness from a variety
of points of view, including studies of the neurophysiology of
perceptual and other conscious processes, psychological studies
of attentional mechanisms, computational studies of mental models,
and methodological and philosophical discussions of all of these.
As such we will publish electronically four times per year.
If you are doing research on any of these issues, please consider
Psyche as an avenue for getting timely and valuable feedback on your
work and as a relatively painless way of providing exposure to your
results (we currently have over 1000 subscribers). We offer
publication of a variety of types of articles. Research papers (the
first two types listed below) will be peer reviewed. We strongly
encourage also the submission of other material useful for research
and study in this area, such as literature reviews, bibliographies,
tutorials and book reviews.
To submit an article or other material please send an e-mail
message to the executive editor Patrick Wilken at x91007@phillip.edu.au
or see `Notes for authors' in the full Psyche statement below.
Research Articles report original research by the author(s).
Articles may be either purely theoretical or experimental or some
combination of the two. Articles of special interest occasionally
will be followed by a selection of peer commentaries. Peer reviewed.
Discussion Notes critique previous research. Peer reviewed.
Survey Articles report the state of the art in some area(s) of
research. These may be done in the form of a literature review or
annotated bibliography. More ambitious surveys will be peer reviewed.

PSYCHE
an interdisciplinary journal of research on consciousness
PSYCHE (ISSN: 1039-723X) is a refereed electronic journal dedicated to
supporting the interdisciplinary exploration of the nature of consciousness and
its relation to the brain. PSYCHE publishes material relevant to that
exploration from the perspectives afforded by the disciplines of Cognitive
Science, Philosophy, Psychology, Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence and
Anthropology. Interdisciplinary discussions are particularly encouraged.
PSYCHE publishes a large variety of articles and reports for a diverse
academic audience four times per year. As an electronic journal, the usual
space limitations of print journals do not apply; however, the editors request
that potential authors do not attempt to abuse the medium. PSYCHE also
publishes a hard-copy version simultaneously with the electronic version. Long
articles published in the electronic version may be abbreviated, synopsized or
eliminated from the hardcopy version.
The journal publishes from time to time all of the following varieties of
articles. Many of these (as indicated below) are peer reviewed; all of them
are reviewed by editorial staff.
Research Articles report original research by the author(s).
Articles may be either purely theoretical or experimental or some
combination of the two. Articles of special interest occasionally
will be followed by a selection of peer commentaries. Peer reviewed.
Survey Articles report the state of the art in some area(s) of
research. These may be done in the form of a literature review or
annotated bibliography. More ambitious surveys will be peer reviewed.
Discussion Notes critique previous research. Peer reviewed.
Tutorials introduce a subject area relevant to the study of
consciousness to non-specialists.
Letters provide an informal forum for expressing opinions on
editorial policy or upon material previously published in PSYCHE.
Screened by the editorial staff.
Abstracts summarise the contents of recently published journal
articles, books, and conference proceedings.
Book Reviews give an indication of the contents of recent books
and evaluate their merits as contributions to research and/or as
textbooks.
Announcements of forthcoming conferences, paper submission
deadlines, etc.
Advertisements of immediate interest to our audience will be
published: grants available; positions available; journal contents;
proposals for joint research; etc.
Notes for authors
Unsolicited submissions of original works within any of the above
categories are welcome. Prospective authors should send articles directly to
the executive editor. Submissions should be in a single copy of plain (ASCII)
text if submitted electronically or four (4) copies if submitted by mail.
Submitted matter should be preceded by: the author's name; address;
affiliation; telephone number; electronic mail address. Any submission to be
peer reviewed should be preceded by a 100-200 word abstract as well. Note
that peer review will be blind, meaning that the prefatory material will not
be made available to the referees. In the event that an article needs to be
shortened for publication in the print version of PSYCHE the author will be
responsible for making any alterations requested by the editors.
Any figures required should be designed so as to be in screen-readable
ASCII. If that cannot be arranged, figures should be submitted as separate
postscript files so that they can be printed out by readers locally.
Authors of accepted articles assign to PSYCHE the right to publish the
text both electronically and as printed matter and to make it available
permanently in an electronic archive. Authors will, however, retain copyright
to their articles and may republish them in any forum they want so long as
they clearly acknowledge PSYCHE as the original source of publication.
