Subject: Textures and Non_Textures
Hello All,
The definition and description of texture are well
understood in these days.
But Can anyone give a definition or description of
non-texture images ? Did anybody tried to discriminate
non-textures from textures ? What can be the methods to analyse
non-textured images in contrast to the techniques applied to
textured images ? Valid suggessions are welcome.
Please send the replies to,
raghu@iitm.ernet.in
Thanking you,
Raghu P.P.

Subject: Solution looking for a problem
I have a solution looking for other problems. We have developed a
vision system for analyzing the quality of herring roe sacs, which is a
function of shape (roe being a displayed delicacy). The amount of natural
variation from 'perfect' roe shape essentially determines the quality. The
system has been very successful but of course has many specific limitations
as follows:
1. We are considering 2D shape only. Roe lies flat on one side or the other,
just like the fish it comes from, and we only consider the contour, which
is unaffected by which side the object lies on.
2. The object must be easily separable from the background. In the case of
roe, it is dark in color (in the blue spectrum at least), and is easily
thresholdable from a white background, in diffuse light.
3. The object must have a distinct major principle axis of intertia (ie
be substantially longer than it is wide). This is the reference axis for
the internal representation.
4. The object must be convex (or at least the non-convex part must be
unimportant).
5. The most effective application is classifying or grading objects whose
shapes have natural variations around expected norms.
6. On the bright side, this system IS robust. It works equally at any
orientation, small deformations of any kind have small effects on the
shape comparisons, and SMALL overlapping objects can be ignored.
If you have a problem for our solution, I would appreciate hearing
about it. This is my thesis project for my MSc in computer science.
sincerely, Andrew Beatty.

IEEE Workshop on Visualization and Machine Vision

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

20 - 24 June 1994
Frankfurt Fairgrounds, Frankfurt, FR Germany
Collocated with OPTATEC 94
Conference on
AUTOMATED VISUAL INSPECTION
Automated Visual Inspection concerns both Computer Vision - the
automatic interpretation of digital images without recourse to
the human visual system - and optical processing approaches which
yield a conclusion without human intervention. Relevant
applications in industry include, but are not confined to, tasks
such as inspection and measurement of manufactured items, and
recognition of parts, characters, and codes as conforming to
requirements. Tasks may also include automatic interpretations
of stereo images for creating digital "as built" records or large
3-D structures, automation of security and surveillance tasks,
and other non-manufacturing operations .
This conference will be concerned with devices and developments
which assist, or if exploited by industry could assist, in the
automation of such tasks and the interpretation of such
measurements for industrial and other commercially-justifiable
requirements. It will also provide a forum for reporting on novel
and interesting applications of these devices and developments
in practical environments.
The objective of this conference is to bring together
representatives of industry seeking solutions to problems in the
areas outlined, or wishing to create new products embodying
relevant new technology, and researchers who may have the answers
to some of these requirements. Presenters are requested to
emphasize the potential which their results hold for industry and
to indicate whether the developments reported are likely to be
available for commercial exploitation outside their own
organizations.
In preparing abstracts authors are invited to indicate clearly
whether their papers deals primarily with a specific practical
application or whether the paper is intended to show the
theoretical principles of a technique which may be of wide
application. This should not, however, discourage authors in the
latter category from reporting successful applications briefly
in support of their theoretical presentations. Papers are sought
in these and related fields:
Optical image processing. Techniques using incoherent-to-coherent
image transformation. Integration of sensors and processors.
Relevant advances in open systems and scalable architectures.
Techniques for improving system resolution (e.g. sub-pixel
interpolation, sensor mosaics, novel sensor configurations). Use
of colour information in automated image processing. Automatic
derivation of 3-D information. Artificial intelligence techniques
including the use of neural networks) for image and data
interpretation . Applications in different industrial sectors.
Interaction of the processes of design and inspection.

Each course will meet for a total of 15 hours and carry 1 semester
credit unit. Your Institute Registration Fee of $750.00 (or $1800.00
corporate) covers up to 3 credits (3 courses for 1 credit each). If
you wish to take additional courses for credit, there is an additional
fee of $150.00 for each credit beyond the original 3.
For each course that you list, please check one of the columns indicat-
ing whether you are seeking graduate credit, undergraduate credit, or
no credit for that course. If these columns are left blank, it will be
assumed that you are not taking the course for credit (No Credit is the
default).
Please consult the List of Courses for the 2-digit Course Identification No.

the Course Schedule in order to avoid registering for courses that will be
held simultaneously. Do not register for courses listed under the same time
