Subject: Image Aqcuitition
Hello
Does anyone knows about cameras
that can capture 200 or more images/second ?
If there are such cameras available can
anyone send me the manufacturer's name ?
What about frame grabbers that can
support these cameras? memory requirements
and displays?
Thank you in advance,
Makis

Subject: Saliency maps
Dear colleagues,
I know its a vague topic, but the Dutch government asked me to produce a
program which transforms images into saliency maps (whatever that may be),
to evaluate the conspicuity of e.g. traffic signs, road-workers dresses and
camouflaged tanks.
I hope some of you may have some ideas.
Current models of human visual search assume that salient image features guide
the focus of attention beam in a bottom up process. Hence, there must be some
implementations around that use a "salient feature map" to drive the attentive
mechanisms.

Subject: "Canned" Line/Edge Detector Needed
I am with the MIT Media Laboratory, and we're in need of a
"canned" edge detection program. The program would ideally be able to
take as its input a graphics file in some standard format, and output a
text file containing all of the endpoint coordinates of every line
detected, as well as which of these endpoints are connected. If anyone
knows of such a program, and (even better) an ftp site where it can be
obtained, please email me at tone@media.mit.edu or
tone@athena.mit.edu.
Thanks very much,
- Matt

Subject: Constrained Delaunay triangulation
Hi,
I am interested in interpolating three-dimensional data obtained
by a laser range finder with a simplicial polyhedral surface, based
on the use of the constrained Delaunay triangulation.
The range data comes from an edge-based algorithm that yields a
description of the scene as a set of line segments in 3D space.
Constrained Delaunay triangulation has been widely used to represent
stereo data. Here the problem is very similar with the difference
that we are using range data obtained by a laser range finder instead
of stereo data.
Do you have any public domain software for computing the 3D constrained
Delaunay triangulation of the endpoints of the 3D segments ,i.e., the
3D segements are Delaunay edges? or Do you know where I can find/get it?
Thanks in advance,
vitor

Subject: Wanted: DOCS for Intellidex 605 Robot Arm
I'm posting to this group because the 605 was apparently
marketed as a robotic vision platform, among other things.
SRL needs MANUALS for an Intellidex 605 6 axis industrial
robot arm with controller. The Intellidex company is defunct, a
service center called IDX Robotics wants $595 for manuals, and
another place wanted $300. As an art group, SRL can't afford
these prices. The 605 itself was given to SRL _very_ cheaply.
The provider of a set of manuals will be rewarded with SRL
show videotape and a tour of SRL's machine/robotics shop.
PLEASE EMAIL magott@path.net or call (415) 282-8882.

SRL is Survival Research Labs, a machine performance art
group based in San Francisco since 1979 under the direction of
Mark Pauline. SRL has presented over 40 performances in the U.S.
and internationally. Machines presented in the next local show
may include: the six-legged Running Machine (800 pounds of
insectlike locomotion), four-legged Walker, mobile V-1 buzz bomb
engine, tele-operated Air Cannon, Taser/Plasma Gun, Tesla Coil
(14 feet tall), the Big Arm with a new tail, and the Screw Machine.

Subject: Raster to Vector Features for GIS
I'm looking for references of any product (research work or industrial
tool) that deals with automatic (or semi-automatic) extraction of
vectors from digitalized geographic maps (the one you use when you're
lost in some strange country!).
The aim is to integrate the vector data into a Geographic Information
System.
Thank you for helping. As a feedback I will send back the collected
references to Vision-List.

Subject: Looking for Borland C++ compatible libraries for the Itex PCPlus Frame grabber
Does any one out there have any libraries compiled using the
Borlandc/c++ for the Itex pcplus frame grabber board...
Itex supplies only the libraries compatible with microsoft C. But i am
looking for the ones that are compatible with borland C/C++ .
thank you,

Subject: Need normalized correlation search
Summary: need speed,cost quotes for normalized correlation search code
Keywords: normalized correlation search
I (or my client) may be in the market for normalized correlation search
code to run on SPARC. Preferably source. Does anyone out there have
such stuff? If so, please e-mail mick@msen.com, and we'll talk about
what kind of performance is needed. The level of interest is quite
serious, the time frame would be within the next few months. Sooner
if you already have the code and we can agree on a way to test it.
