Subject: Update available for Vista computer vision software
Public patch #2 for version 2.0 of the Vista computer vision environment is
now available by anonymous FTP from ftp.cs.ubc.ca. It's in the ASCII file
/pub/local/vista/patch-2. If you have already installed Vista, you can
simply get that patch file and apply it.
The complete Vista version 2.0 distribution, with all patches already
installed, is also available on ftp.cs.ubc.ca. Two copies of the
distribution are there in the /pub/local/vista directory; one has been
compressed with `gzip', the other, with `compress'. You can take either
one, but the `gzip' version is considerably smaller.
This patch adds support for earlier versions of X Windows, including X11R4.
It also fixes the following bugs:
vxview: would sometimes crash showing help info
vxview: text strings overflowed dialog boxes on some displays
vxviewe: would sometimes crash in "Open File..."
vx* programs: wouldn't use alternate X colormap when necessary
VInitColormap: failed on some displays when visual specified explicitly
VInitColormap: terminated program if not all colors could be allocated
For those not familiar with Vista, a brief description of it is included
below. A more complete description may be found on ftp.cs.ubc.ca in
/pub/local/vista/ANNOUNCEMENT.
We maintain a mailing list for disseminating information about Vista; it is
vista@cs.ubc.ca. To subscribe to it, send a message to
vista-request@cs.ubc.ca.

ABOUT VISTA
The Vista software environment for computer vision research has been
developed at the University of British Columbia's Laboratory for
Computational Intelligence. Unlike most toolkits for image processing,
Vista allows easy extension to data types other than images. It is
designed to support computer vision research in which any user can easily
program new modules or add new data types. Vista comes with extensive
documentation, a collection of image manipulation routines, edge detectors,
edge linking, overlay of edge vectors on images, tools for printing images,
and tools for viewing images and vectors under the X Window System.
One useful component of Vista is a toolkit to allow rapid development of
applications running under X Windows. Using a few standard library
routines that do not require knowledge of X internals, a user can create
applications that display images, manipulate vectors, create menus, and
provide full mouse interaction with display elements. Vista contains an
image viewing widget that provides display independence, image scaling, and
interactive zooming.
Vista operations can be used both as stand-alone UNIX programs
and as library routines. The programs can be used from the UNIX shell
to manipulate files containing images and other objects; they can be
piped together to perform a sequence of operations. The library can be
used to construct custom applications, including ones that display
images interactively under X Windows.
Vista uses its own format for representing images, edge vectors, and
other objects in data files. The format is highly flexible -- it can
represent a great variety of image types as well as collections of
images and other objects. The format is also extensible -- for
example, new image attributes can be added without the need to modify
existing software or data files. Tools are available for converting
images between Vista's format and other formats.
Vista is written in ANSI C for UNIX platforms. It requires the X
Window System (X11R5); some portions also require the OSF/Motif widget
library.

Subject: Re: Constrained Delaunay triangulation
I missed the original posting, but I know of a number of Voronoi/Delaunay
programs available via ftp.
The one I use for 3D (we wrote our own 2D) was implemented by Raymond Chen
as part of his thesis at Princeton "A non-recursive scan-plane algorithm for
calculatin the Voronoi diagram in three dimensions".
I don't know where you get it from (lost the details!) but if anyone is
interested I have the PD source.

From: neil@isgtec.com (Neil Glossop)
Subject: Determining coordinates from 2 views
I am trying to find code to determine the coordinates of points
that are visible in 2 simaltaneous views of the same object. I
believe one way to do this is using a photogrammetric technique
called "Direct Linear Transformation". Here, a volume is linearized
based on a calibration step in which a measured object is filmed first.
Without moving the cameras, the object of interest is filmed and
common points on the two views are manually identified. It eliminates
any need to know anything about the camera optics, camera positions etc.
Any help in locating this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Subject: Saliency maps
In regard to a recent query concerning the construction of
"saliency maps" , I will point out two references that are
particularly directed to the problem of "attention" in the context of
of space-variant active vision, and the "next-look" problem.
Ref 1: @article{Yeshurun89Shape,
author = {Y. Yeshurun and E. L. Schwartz},
journal = {IEEE Trans. Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence},
pages = {1217-1222},
title = {Shape description with a space-variant sensor: algorithms for scan-path, fusion and convergence over multiple scans},
volume = {11},
year = {1989},
keywords = {PAMI}
Ref 2:
I've enclosed the abstract of a recent paper
on this subject.
Authors: Alan Rojer and Eric Schwartz
Title: A Quotient Space Hough Transform for Space-Variant Visual Attention
in Neural Networks for Vision and Image Processing,
edited by G. Carpenter and S. Grossberg (MIT Press 1992)
Abstract:
We consider the problem of \*Qvisual attention\*U in the context of
space-variant machine vision: Is there a general theoretical and
practical formulation for the \*Qnext-look\*U problem to guide
a space-variant sensor to a rapid choice for its next fixation point?
This topic is developed in the context of Hough transform methods,
by the addition of a
third space to the usual
feature and object spaces considered in traditional Hough methods. This
third space is a \*Qbehavioural,\*U or \*Umotor\*U space, which is
typically low-dimensional with respect to the feature and object spaces.
For example, the motor space of particular interest for us
is the two-dimensional manifold of monocular eye positions.
By \*Qcollapsing\*U the generalized Hough transform
into a low dimensional motor space,
we show that it is possible to avoid a practical difficulty in applying
Hough transform methods, which is the exponential dependence
of the accumulator array on the dimensionality of the object space.
Beginning with a simple and very general Bayesian scheme, we
derive in stages the generalized Hough transform as a special case.
Since \*Qattentional\*U applications, by their nature,
require only partial knowledge about objects,
computation of all the parameters characterizing a scene object
is superfluous and wasteful of computational resources. This suggests
that for an attentional application, collapsing
the (large) object space onto the (small) motor space
provides a computationally
grounded definition of the term \*Qvisual attention\*U. We illustrate
these ideas with an example of choosing \*Qfixation\*U points for
a space-variant sensor in a machine vision application
for real-time reading of license plates of moving vehicles.

Medical imaging has continued to have an increasing impact in both
diagnosis and treatment of a variety of illnesses and conditions.
More importantly, however, the field has contributed greatly to the
underlyiong theoretical basis and application of mathematical
techniques in imaging. The special requirements of both research and
clinical medicine have pushed researchers to develop new imaging
modalities, theoretical frameworks, filtering techniques, segmentation
methods, and visualization strategies.
This conference will focus on the application of mathematical and
statistical methods to medical imaging problems. Papers describing new
applications, refinements of existing techniques, new theoretical
models, or application of techniques in new settings are sollicited.
This year's meeting will focus on topics concerning uncertainty in
medical imaging, such as:
* representing variability and abnormality
* uncertainty associated with segmenting structure
* variability in measurement from image data.
In addition, topics may include, but are not limited to:
* geometric/deformable models
* surface fitting/registration
* theoretical models underlying image segmentation
* algorithms for segmentation, mensuration, and diagnosis
* image reconstruction
* optimization
* variational and finite element methods
It is planned that panel discussions will be held at the end of a
number of sessions. Panels will include the chair, the presenters at
the session, and possibly one or two other experts.
SUBMISSIONS must include abstracts of approximately 1200 words. Email
is the preferred (but not exclusive) method of transmission.
