Subject: Re: People Counting
Dear netters:
I'm a PhD student of KAIST in Korea.
I am involved in a project to count people in given indoor scene gray-scale
images. We can assume the configuration such as the camera position,
the height of the camera(<=5m), and the angle of the view, etc.
The main problem is that there's no contraints on the human features in
the given image. People may make any pose, carry something, and wear various
colored clothes.
I would be happy
if I can get any hints from someone who has experience on this kind of
problems.

Subject: CFP: Workshop on Visualization and Machine Vision
IEEE Workshop on Visualization and Machine Vision
The Westin Hotel, Seattle, Washington June 24, 1994
(Note: The workshop is a day after CVPR at the same site.
So researchers can stay an extra day and attend the workshop).
Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society:
Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence Technical Committee and
Computer Graphics Technical Committee
Visualization is a rapidly growing discipline, and has become one
of the most important tools of modern computational science. The
goal of research in visualization is to extract meaningful
information from voluminous datasets through the use of imaging
and interactive graphics. This goal has been made feasible by
recent advancements in multi-media technology. Computer
Vision, on the other hand, is concerned with the automatic
interpretation of images. Thus, both disciplines are
concerned with computational problems associated with images.
The aim of this workshop is to explore the synergy between these
two research areas and identify new applications and promising
new directions for interdisciplinary research. Some examples of
such applications are: automated analysis of flow visualization
images, fusion of multiple images and visualization of medical
images.
In many such applications, computer vision may be used to aid and
complement human analysis. For example, computer vision may be
applied for selective visualization, where the image display is
preceded by image analysis to isolate regions of interest in the
data. Such regions of interest could be edges in data, or areas
around singularities. Techniques such as edge detection and
segmentation could be extended to data that are not necessarily
visual, e.g. financial or geographic data.
Computer vision could benefit from techniques developed in
visualization, such as the fusion of multiple images for display,
visualization of reconstruction techniques, display of multi-
dimensional vector fields, etc.
We invite both theoretical and application oriented papers
exploring any aspect of the interaction between these two
disciplines. Suggested topics are listed below. This list is not
exhaustive and other relevant papers are welcome.
SUGGESTED TOPICS
Fusion of multiple images Geographical data analysis
Flow visualization Medical Imaging
Financial data analysis Image databases
Multimedia techniques Integration of multiple views
Marine imaging Interactive segmentation
Visualization of reconstruction techniques
Evaluation of visualization techniques
3-d in segmentation for visualization
Analysis of test and measurement data
Quantitative machine vision techniques

===================
Summer Institute on
Probabilistic Reasoning in Artificial Intelligence
Corvallis, Oregon
July 22 - 27, 1994
WHAT:
An intensive short course in modern probabilistic modeling, Bayesian
inference, and decision theory designed for advanced Phd students,
recent Phds, and government and industry researchers.
WHY:
In the last decade, researchers have made significant breakthroughs
in techniques for representing and reasoning about uncertain
information. Many now feel that probabilistic reasoning and
rational decision making provide a sound and practical foundation
needed for a variety of problems in artificial intelligence. In
fact, these techniques now form the basis of state-of-the-art
applications in search, planning, machine learning, diagnosis,
vision, robotics, and speech understanding.
The field has reached a level of maturity where the basic techniques
are well understood and ready for dissemination. At the same time,
there is a wealth of potential applications and open research
topics. Thus, the time is ripe to train the next generation of
researchers.
WHERE, WHEN, HOW:
The first Summer Institute will be held at Oregon State University,
Corvallis, Oregon from July 22-27, 1994. A distinguished faculty
will lecture on foundations or probabilistic reasoning and decision
theory, knowledge acquisition, learning, and inference methods.
Case studies will be presented on implemented applications. The
Institute will provide housing, and expects to be able to provide
limited travel funds.
The Institute is sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific
Research.
