Subject: Wanted: face detection references
Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Hi,
I'm a PhD student at MIT, and am interested in writing a face detection
routine for a robot. The idea would be for the robot to be able to
determine when a (human) face was in its field of view.
If anyone can offer any related references or advice which may be helpful
in getting me started, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Robyn
p.s. I am interested in doing something quick here -- it can be wrong
some of the time without dire consequences.

From: callari@dendrite.cs.colorado.edu
Subject: Isophotae curvature estimation
I am working on a shape from shading problem involving as a subtask
the (possibly robust) estimation of the curvature of isophotae (1,2) (lines of
constant brightness) on grayscale images.
The input data should be the shading flow (2) of the image, i.e. a discretized
planar vector field superimposed on the image, whose vectors have
magnitude proportional to the local value of image brightness gradient, and
direction orthogonal to the gradient itself (hence parallel to the local
constant brightness line).
I have found only references (3) (4) and (4) on the argument. I'd greatly
appreciate if somebody highlighted for me some more.
Please email your suggestions to me, and I will post a summary.
Thanks
Franco Callari

From: Joao Goncalves <joao.goncalves@cen.jrc.it>
Subject: OCR software
Hello
I am interested in having an OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
package, that would take as input an image (probably a binary
image) and could return as output a string of characters.
The characters to be read are in a pre-defined region of
interest. The application should run in a PC with MS-DOS.
Ideally, this package would be composed of a set of functions
(library) that can be called by my own application.
Please send names, addresses and/or fax numbers, and most
important some words concerning your experience in using
such software. If there is enough interest, I'll post a
summary of the answers.
Thanks in advance

Subject: Motion data ...
Hello:
Thank you very much for the very prompt correspondence.
> For (1), please first check the Vision List Archives: it has the
> kind of data you're asking for.
Actually, I donot have facility to ftp from my site, so I thought I
should find all details and then request people here who can ftp for me, and
hence the query.
What I wanted to know was Is there motion and stereo images or the SAME
SCENE. Usually, we have data for stereo and motion separately meaning
data available is of different scenes.
> For (2), please correspond with the following poster: he just posted
> a similar request.
I am afraid what I am asking for is different from what appeared in the
recent poster. Thank you very much, I will get in contact with him.
> Please repost if these sources do not prove adequate.
If it is not taxing on the news group, I would like query aired!
If your mails to me bounce back, please mail me at
bhatt@basant.ee.iitb.ernet.in
Thank you very much for your precious time
Sunil Kumar.
======= POSTER ======
Hi:
ONE) Does anyone know where to find STEREO data and MOTION data of the SAME
SCENE. I plan to integrate the motion and stereo information to extract
depth information of the scene.
TWO) Can any of you give me pointers as to how to generate a random dot
stereogram WITH OCCLUSION. If there are source codes to generate
random dot stereogarms WITH OCCLUSION please let me know.
Thank you in advance,
Sunil

A friend of mine needs for his research a program, which performs
contour edge extraction. The input being a boolean matrix and the
output a vector. He is particuliary interested to get a "thin" outline
,in such a way that if we take the letter I ,as an example, the input
will be a vertical segment and not an rectangle.
Email to Sharone@hadassah or pointers to a FTP site are welcomed.

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.

The analysis of signals and images at multiple scales
is an attractive framework for many problems in computer vision,
signal and image processing. Wavelet theory provides
a mathematically precise understanding of the concept of multiresolution.
The conference shall focus on novel applications of wavelet methods of
analysis and processing techniques, refinements of existing methods,
and new theoretical models. When possible, papers should compare
and contrast wavelet based approaches to traditional techniques.
Topics for the conference may include but are not limited to:
- image pyramids
- frames and overcomplete representations
- multiresolution algorithms
- wavelet-based noise reduction and restoration
- multiscale edge detection
- wavelet texture analysis and segmentation
- Gabor transforms and space-frequency localization
- wavelet-based fractal analysis
- multiscale random processes
- wavelets and neural networks
- image representations from wavelet maxima or zero-crossings
- wavelet compression, coding and signal representation
- wavelet theory and multirate filterbanks
- wavelets in medical imaging

the conference proceedings, i.e. six pages (approximately 5000 words
including figures) for long papers and four pages (3500 words) for
short and poster papers. We will not review papers
submitted by facsimile or e-mail.
