Subject: Request: Help with ellipse/circle detection.
Can anyone help me? I am trying to find references or code for
detecting circles or ellipses in digital images.
I am particularly interested in the Hough transform, since it is
known for its robustness.
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Effects of adapting field size
I am looking for references to vision studies on the effects of
adapting field size on the color of test patches. This seems like
something many people must have done but a quick survey turned up no
references. Anyone have any pointers to the literature?

From: Jonathan A. Marshall <marshall@cs.unc.edu>
Subject: Book(s) for Vision course
I will be teaching an introductory graduate-level course on Visual
Perception this Fall, and I'm trying to find a good book or two to use
as texts.
I'd really appreciate any recommendations that you might be able to
offer on appropriate books. I'm looking for books that contain
substantial material on psychophysics, neurobiology, and computation
related to vision.
My course is normally taught in Psychology departments to introduce
Psychology students to visual perception. My course will have the
additional purpose of introducing Computer Science students (as well
as Psychology students) to the subject.
I will collect the replies and redistribute them electronically for
everyone's benefit.
Thanks!

real-time obstacle detection for robotic navigation. To portray the state of
the art, the International Journal of Computer Vision is releasing a call for
papers for a special issue on the theory and applications of stereo vision.
Topics of special interest include, but are not limited to:
- Theory and algorithms for stereo matching of static and dynamic scenes
- Performance modeling and evaluation techniques
- Perception planning and active sensor control for stereo vision
- Fusion of stereo with other sensing modalities
- Real-time computing architectures for stereo vision,
including VLSI implementations
- Significant system applications using stereo vision
Guest editors for this issue are Larry Matthies (JPL), Bob Bolles (SRI), and

The formulation of the interpretation of a single image (of a general scene)
as a computational problem results in an under-constrained task. This
conference will feature approaches that have been investigated to alleviate
the ill-posed nature of sensor interpretation tasks. Papers are solicited
on topics dealing with the extraction of multiple types of information from
an image/sensor or from other sensory sources to constrain scene
interpretation.
Topics may include:
- the extraction and fusion of multiple cues from the
same image (e.g., integrating multiple shape-from-X
methods, integrating discontinuities in brightness,
texture)
- the use of multiple views of the scene (e.g., stereo,
motion computation, structure from motion)
- the fusion of information from different modalities of
sensing (e.g., IR, laser ranging, ultraviolet, acoustic,
MMW radar)
- model-based methods for integrating multiple sensors
- computational frameworks for sensor fusion (e.g.,
variational, statistical, AI, neural networks)
- architectures and parallel methods for sensor fusion
- results of psychophysical and electrophysiological
studies which may lead to new computational models for
intersensory perception
- applications of sensor fusion in automated target
recognition, mobile robot navigation, surveillance, etc.
Special and Invited Sessions are planned in the areas of
> SENSOR FUSION FOR NAVIGATION/GUIDANCE,
> SENSOR FUSION FOR SPACE ROBOTICS,
> FUSION OF ACTIVE and PASSIVE SENSING,
> SENSOR FUSION FOR ROBOT VISION,
> FUSION OF MMW-SAR IMAGERY with FLIR, LADAR, etc,

Call for Tutorial proposals
Organized by the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial
Intelligence (ECCAI)
Hosted by the Dutch Association for Artificial Intelligence (NVKI)
The European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) is the
European forum for scientific exchange and presentation of AI
research. The aim of the conference is to cover all aspects of AI
research and to bring together basic research and applied research.
The Technical Programme will include paper presentations, invited
talks, panels, workshops, and tutorials. The conference is designed to
cover all subfields of AI, including non-symbolic methods.
ECAIs are held in alternate years and are organized by the European
Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI). The 11th
ECAI in 1994 will be hosted by the Dutch AI Society (NVKI). The
conference will take place at the Amsterdam RAI, International
Exhibition and Congress Centre.
E X H I B I T I O N
An industrial and academic exhibition will be organized from August 9 - 11, 1994.

T O P I C S O F I N T E R E S T
You are invited to submit an original research paper that represents a
significant contribution to any aspect of AI, including the principles
underlying cognition, perception, and action in humans and machines;
the design, application, and evaluation of AI algorithms and
intelligent systems; and the analysis of tasks and domains in which
intelligent systems perform. Theoretical and experimental results are
equally welcome. Papers describing innovative ideas are especially
sought providing such papers include substantial analysis of the
ideas, the technology needed to realize them, and their potential
impact.
Of special interest this year are papers which address applied AI. Two
kinds of papers are sought. The first category is case studies of AI
applications that address significant real-world problems and which
are used outside the AI community itself; these papers must justify
the use of the AI technique, explain how the AI technology contributed
to the solution and was integrated with other components, and most
importantly explain WHY the application was successful (or perhaps why
it failed) -- these "lessons learned" will be the most important
review criteria. The second category is for papers on novel AI
techniques and principles that may enable more ambitious real-world
applications. All the usual AI topics are appropriate. These papers
must describe the importance of the approach from an applications
context, in sufficient technical detail and clarity, and clearly and
thoroughly differentiate the work from previous efforts. There will be
special prizes for the best papers in both these areas.
S U B M I S S I O N O F P A P E R S
Authors are requested to submit to the Programme Chairperson 5 copies
of papers written in English in hardcopy format (electronic and fax
submissions will not be accepted).
Each submitted paper must conform to the following specifications.
Papers should be no longer than 5500 words including references. (Each
full page of figures counts as 1100 words.) Papers longer than this
limit risk being rejected without refereeing. A separate title page
should include the title, the name(s) of the author(s), complete
address(es), email, fax and telephone numbers, the specification of
between one and four Content Areas, preferably chosen from the list
below and an abstract (maximum 200 words). The title page should also
contain a declaration that the paper is unpublished, original work,
substantially different from papers currently under review and will
not be submitted elsewhere before the notification date other than to
workshops and similar specialized presentations with a very limited
audience. Papers should be printed on A4 or 8.5"x11" sized paper in
letter quality print, with 12 point type (10 chars/inch on a
typewriter), single spaced. Double sided printing is preferred.
Authors who wish to check that their submission will fit into the
final CRC format will be able to obtain detailed instructions
including a latex style file and example postscript pages after
October 15 by anonymous FTP from agora.leeds.ac.uk, directory ECAI94,
or by e-mailing ecai94-style@scs.leeds.ac.uk with a message body of
"help".
When submitting a paper an electronic mail message should also be sent
to ecai94-title@scs.leeds.ac.uk giving information in the format
specified below. If an intending author has no e-mail facilities then
this requirement is waived.

In addition to the possibility of video enhanced papers described
above, videos unaccompanied by papers may be submitted for
presentation in special video track sessions. The purpose of these
videos should be to demonstrate the current levels of usefulness of AI
tools, techniques and methods. Videos presenting research arising out
of interesting real world applications are especially sought. Authors
should submit one copy of a videotape of 10 minutes maximum duration
accompanied by a submission letter that includes:
* Title
* Full names, postal addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of
all authors
* Duration of tape in minutes
* Three copies of an abstract of one to two pages in length,
containing the title of the video, and full names and addresses of the
authors
* Author's permission to copy tape for review purposes
The timetable and conditions for submission, notification of
acceptance or rejection, and receipt of final version are the same as
for the paper track. All videotape submissions must be made to the
Programme Chair. Tapes cannot be returned; authors should retain
extra copies for making revisions. All videos must be in VHS-PAL
format. An e-mail message giving the title, author, address and
abstract should be e-mailed to ecai94-video@scs.leeds.ac.uk (unless
the submitter has no e-mail access in which case this condition is
waived).
Tapes will be reviewed and selected for presentation during the
conference. The following criteria will guide the selection:
Level of interest to the conference audience
Clarity of goals, methods and results
Presentation quality (including audio, video and pace).
Preference will be given to applications that show a high level of
maturity. Tapes that are deemed to be advertising commercial products,
propaganda, purely expository materials, merely taped lectures or
other material not of scientific or technical value will be rejec-
ted.

A full workshop programme is planned for ECAI '94. These will take
place in the two days immediately before the main technical
conference, i.e., on August 8 and 9, 1994. Workshops may last for
either 1 or 2 days.
They will give participants the opportunity to discuss specific
technical topics in a small, informal environment, which encourages
interaction and exchange of ideas. Workshops may address any topic
covered by the list of areas given above [i.e., in the general call
for papers]. Workshops on applications and related issues are
especially welcome. Workshop proposals should be in the form of a
draft call for participation containing a brief description of the
workshop and the technical issues to be addressed, the proposed format
and the kind of contributions solicited, and the names and addresses
(postal, phone, fax, e-mail) of the organizing committee of the
workshop. Additionally, proposals should specify the number of
expected participants and some names of some potential participants.
Proposers are encouraged to send their draft proposal to potential
participants for comments before submission.
The organizers of accepted workshops are responsible for producing a
call for participation, for reviewing requests to participate and
for scheduling the workshop activities within the constraints set by
the conference organizers.
Workshop proposals should be sent to the Workshop Chairpersons as soon
as possible, but not later than November 1, 1993. Electronic
submission (plain ascii text) is highly preferred, but hard copy
submission is also accepted in which case 5 copies should be
submitted. Proposals should not exceed 2 sides of A4 (i.e.,
approximately 120 lines of text). The proposals will be reviewed by
the Programme Committee and the organizers will be notified not later
than December 31, 1993.
Details of all accepted workshops will be available by anonymous FTP
from cs.vu.nl, directory ECAI94 by January 31, 1994; alternatively
send electronic mail to ecai94-workshops@cs.vu.nl. It should be
noted that registration for the main conference will be required in
order to attend an ECAI '94 workshop.

Subject: BMVC'93
British Machine Vision Conference BMVC'93
PROVISIONAL PROGRAMME AND REGISTRATION FORM
*******************************************
University of Surrey, Guildford. U.K.
21-23 September 1993
The British Machine Vision Conference is the main annual U.K. forum for
the presentation of research results in the areas of machine vision and
pattern recognition. This two and a half day conference will take place
from Tuesday 21 September to Thursday 23 September on the pleaseant
landscaped campus of the University of Surrey, Guildford.
The conference will be accompanied by a small exhibition of commercial
and industrial products related to computer vision.
The conference will also be preceeded by a half-day topical seminar on
``Wavelets'' which will be given by Roland Wilson of Warwick University.
The University of Surrey is situated in the historic cathedral town of
Guildford. It is only 30 miles from Central London and has excellent
road and rail links to the rest of the U.K.. It is also sited close to
and halfway between Londons major international airports, Heathrow
and Gatwick.
Monday 20 September 1993
Afternoon Tutorial: 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
AN INTRODUCTION TO WAVELET TRANSFORMS
R. Wilson, Department of Computer Science , Warwick University.
The last five to ten years have seen the development of a new class of
signal representation - the wavelet transform - which has placed
multiresolution signal analysis on a rigorous footing and has opened up
new possibilities for efficient multiresolution methods of image coding
and analysis. While there have been many publications on wavelets, a
combination of some unusual notation and sophisticated mathematics have
not helped the general reader to assess their potential in applications.
The aim of the tutorial will be to answer the following questions :
* What are wavelets and how do they relate to more established
multiresolution methods ?
* How can wavelet transforms be computed efficiently ?
* What can they be used for ?
* What are their limitations ?
The only prerequisite assumed will be a degree of familiarity with the
conventional signal processing concepts of filtering and linear
transformation. The tutorial session will include examples showing how
various wavelet transforms may be used in low-level vision tasks,
such as boundary detection, stereopsis and texture analysis.
It will be concluded with a survey of recent developments in the field.
