From: paul <paul@lip.irsa.jrc.it>
Subject: codon code available
In a recent paper ("Multi-scale representation and matching of curves using
codons", Paul Rosin, CVGIP: Graphical Models and Image Processing, Vol 55,
pp. 286-310, 1993) I describe how curves can be segmented and represented by
a set of labels which includes the codons defined by Hoffman & Richards plus
additional ones to handle open curves, straight sections, etc. To overcome
the problem of noise the curve is smoothed at its "natural" scales - i.e.
those that describe some qualitatively distinctive structures of the curve.
Codons at different scales are linked to form a hierarchy (the "codon-tree").
Codon models are then matched to curves by searching the codon-tree. To
facilitate matching the codon labels are augmented by various shape measures
(e.g. compactness, skew).
Code for forming and matching the codon-tree is now available for ftp'ing
from the vision archives in the directory

Subject: terrain recognition algorithms
I'm part of a project that is designing a model automated planetary
lander (theoretically to land on Mars or some other planet). Part of
the project is designing software to identify optimal landing sites
from visual (and perhaps radar) data. For example, we would like to
land on level, stable ground, as opposed to an inclined region or a
ravine. Could anyone point me to algorithms that might be applicable
towards this purpose? Also, we are looking for Earth height field
terrain data and images (preferably color) of terrain taken from
various altitudes to test our algorithms on. Please e-mail me with
any info.
Thanks.

Subject: NRC postdocs at NIST
Date: Wed, 22 Sep 93 19:21:00 -0400
NIST is one of 35 US Federal Labs that support postdoctoral associates
in a program administered by the National Research Council (NRC). A
candidate proposes a research project to be conducted in conjunction
with a NIST research advisor in one of over 600 research opportunity
areas. The NRC ranks applications for NIST and the final selection is
made by NIST. Each appointment is for a period of two years. The
postdocs at NIST are open to US CITIZENS ONLY, though I've heard
rumors that this policy is being debated. I don't know if the other
NRC postdocs are open to non-citizens.
(NIST is the National Institute of Standards and Technology, formerly
the National Bureau of Standards, with facilities in Gaithersburg, MD
and Boulder, CO.)
At NIST, more than 30% of postdoc associates are retained on the
regular staff. Also, in order to compete with industrial research
laboratories and to free the researcher from ``bankrupt postdoc''
worries, the positions pay rather well: $45.5K salary plus full
government benefits and relocation for 1993 and for the January 1994
competition. Because of these attractive features, the competition is
stiff. In 1993 NIST funded 34 of 224 applicants.
BUT don't let this discourage you from trying. The paperwork is not
overwhelming, and the payoff is a good position doing research which
you proposed with an excellent chance of remaining at NIST on the
regular staff.
The chances that you will find someone here in your general area of
interest is fairly good, since work is performed here in computer
science, electrical engineering, manufacturing engineering, applied
math, chemistry, physics, materials science, building and fire
research, geology....
The next application due date is January 15, 1994, with awards in
April to start on or after July 1, 1994. For a research opportunity
booklet contact:
Dr. Burton Colvin
Deputy Director for Academic Affairs
NIST

Gaithersburg, MD 20899 burt@micf.nist.gov
or
Donna Paul 301/975-3076
paul@micf.nist.gov
The booklet lists more than 450 research advisors and it is important
to contact one or more of them in your specialty in order to prepare an
appropriate research proposal.
The NRC application package is being revised, so you should probably
obtain packets from the NRC at a later date. The NRC address given in
the front of the NIST research opportunity booklet is:

will be considered only as special cases.
Applicants are required to submit undergraduate (and, if applicable,
graduate) transcripts, three letters of recommendation, and Graduate
Record Examination (GRE) scores. The Advanced Test should be in the
candidate's area of departmental specialization. GRE scores may be
waived for MA candidates and, in exceptional cases, for PhD candidates,
but absence of these scores may decrease an applicant's chances for
admission and financial aid.
Non-degree students may also enroll in CNS courses on a part-time basis.
Description of the CNS Department:
The Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems (CNS) provides advanced
training and research experience for graduate students interested in the
neural and computational principles, mechanisms, and architectures that
underlie human and animal behavior, and the application of neural network
architectures to the solution of technological problems. Students are
trained in a broad range of areas concerning cognitive and neural systems,
including vision and image processing; speech and language understanding;
adaptive pattern recognition; cognitive information processing; self-
organization; associative learning and long-term memory; computational
neuroscience; nerve cell biophysics; cooperative and competitive network
dynamics and short-term memory; reinforcement, motivation, and attention;
adaptive sensory-motor control and robotics; active vision; and biological
rhythms; as well as the mathematical and computational methods needed to
support advanced modeling research and applications. The CNS Department
awards MA, PhD, and BA/MA degrees.
The CNS Department embodies a number of unique features. It has developed
a curriculum that consists of twelve interdisciplinary graduate courses
each of which integrates the psychological, neurobiological, mathematical,
and computational information needed to theoretically investigate
fundamental issues concerning mind and brain processes and the applications
of neural networks to technology. Nine additional advanced courses,
including research seminars, are also offered. Each course is typically
taught once a week in the evening to make the program available to
qualified students, including working professionals, throughout the Boston
area. Students develop a coherent area of expertise by designing a program
that includes courses in areas such as Biology, Computer Science, Engineering,
Mathematics, and Psychology, in addition to courses in the CNS curriculum.
The CNS Department prepares students for thesis research with scientists
in one of several Boston University research centers or groups, and with
Boston-area scientists collaborating with these centers. The unit most
closely linked to the department is the Center for Adaptive Systems (CAS).
Students interested in neural network hardware work with researchers in
CNS, the College of Engineering, and at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Other
research resources include distinguished research groups in neurophysiology,
neuroanatomy, and neuropharmacology at the Medical School and the Charles
River campus; in sensory robotics, biomedical engineering, computer and
systems engineering, and neuromuscular research within the Engineering
School; in dynamical systems within the Mathematics Department; in
theoretical computer science within the Computer Science Department; and
in biophysics and computational physics within the Physics Department.
In addition to its basic research and training program, the Department
conducts a seminar series, as well as conferences and symposia, which bring
together distinguished scientists from both experimental and theoretical
disciplines.
