Subject: 3D data wanted
[ This msg was posted last month and I suggested he take a look
at the data hosted by CIL at CMU. And it turned out their data is
for stereo (almost no rotation).
phil... ]
I'm looking for 3D data on the net:
* 3D (intensity + range) data pairs: before and after motion, preferably
with ground truth of the motion parameters. (rotation and translation, FOV)
Any pointers or any one who would like to share
his data is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Subject: CONVEX HULL
What is the most efficient way to find out the convex hull of a group
of polygons ? Those polygons could be concave or convex.
Once the convex hull is found, what is the best way to find out the shortest
bounding rectangle which encloses this convex hull ?
Please forward all replies to me, and lots n lots of thanks !

Subject: Reprint of Helmholtz' Treatise on Physiological Optics
Request to drum up support for a reprinting of:
Hermann von Helmoltz - Treatise on Physiological Optics
Sometime ago, the Dover Press reprinted in a 2-volume paperback edition a
translation of Helmholtz' seminal 3-volume treatise. As most of you know,
this work prefigures much of the work in Vision Science that we do today.
It is certainly an important book to provide historical context, if not to
discover that what we are doing has already been done long before! Dover has
let the book go out of print for some years, there are no copies left at
the Press, and it is quite difficult to find used copies. Therefore, I am
trying to convince Dover to reprint the books. To do that, I need to convince
them that sufficient numbers of people will go out and buy copies once they
become available. Therefore, if you would consider buying these books if they
became available again (note that Dover paperbacks tend to be inexpensive),
please email me a short note saying that you are interested, and, in case this
turns out to be useful for an announcement later on, providing me with an
email and postal address.

Subject: Help needed to elimnate specular reflection
Hi:
I am interested in algorithm for elimnating specular reflection on an
image. Specular reflection causes a region of image saturated or at very
high intensity, which may pose difficulties for subsequent image processing.
Anybody having inforamtion on dealing with this problem either digitially or
optically, please drop me a line at qiangji@ece.arizona.edu.
Thanks in advacen

Hi there:
I am looking for implementations of corner detector algorithms,
specialy I would like to get the Beus-Tiu procedure, but any other
will be just fine. By the way it doesn't matter if they are based
either in the graylevel information or in the analysis of the
boundary.
Thanks, your help will be really appreciated.

Subject: Mobal Robot Vision Help
Hi, I am 17 and working on my forth + 200 lb. robot. I would like to
add a real time vision system, and was wondering if anyone has done this?
I would like the robot able to fiend electrical outlets and Coca-Cola
cans, I would also like the robot to be able to plug it's self in and
pick up the cans. To lighten the data load I am planing to digitize the
image and then run the image through a edge detection algorithm. Is this
possible? Could this be done with a 50 mhz 486? If you can give me some
help, let me know. P.S. I need to do this with as little money as possible.

SSPR'94
International Workshop on
Syntactic and Structural Pattern Recognition
October 4-6 1994
NAHARIYA, ISRAEL
General Information:
Syntactic and structural pattern recognition encompasses all aspects
of pattern recognition that are related to the structure and/or syntax
of the patterns under consideration as a basis for their recognition.
SSPR'94 is the fifth workshop in a series of workshops organized by
the Technical Committee on SSPR of the International Association for
Pattern Recognition (IAPR), and held traditionally in conjunction with
the large IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR),
held in October 1994 in Jerusalem.
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussing
issues related to syntactic and structural pattern recognition.
These issues include, but are not limited to, the following issues:
* General methodology.
* Machine learning and grammatical inference.
* Structured document image analysis: handwriting, maps, technical drawings.
* Speech and one-dimensional signal analysis.
* Structural methods in image processing.
* Shape analysis.
* Structural methods in computer vision.
We solicit contributions of two types:
* Research papers (extended abstracts limited to 10 double-spaced pages)
* Position papers (about any of the relevant issues).
The workshop will feature paper presentations, discussions and
panels based on position papers submitted, and invited speakers.
The abstracts of the papers will appear in a conference proceedings.
The papers presented at the Workshop will be published in a book format.
LOCATION
The venue of the Workshop will be in Karlton Hotel, Nahariya.
Nahariya is a Mediteranean resort town, 40 minutes drive north of Haifa.
The weather in October is very nice and a tour to high-tech industry and
a number of touristic attractions in the Galilee is planned.
IMPORTANT DATES IN 1994:
March 15: Paper Submission.
June 1: Notification of Acceptance.
July 1: Final Abstract Submission.

Competitive pressures demand ever increasing production rates and even
tighter quality control. Before machine vision systems can achieve their
full potential in helping to meet these objectives, further improvements
are needed in resolution, speed, sophistication, cost, and ease of
application. This conference, the tenth in a series, is devoted to
advancing the state of the art in all aspects of the application of machine
vision to industrial
inspection.
Papers are solicited in three categories, with special emphasis
on combinations of two or more aspects:
Applications and case studies, including:
* successful applications, especially those in which good systems integration
was essential for success
* interesting or unusual solutions to some part of the overall problem,
such as special lighting, problem reformulations leading to more effective
solutions, novel ways of handling interprocessor communications etc.
* "network in progress" or significant unsolved problems
High-speed architectures, including:
* high-speed implementations and nonconventional configurations
* specialized processing architectures or hardware: Hough, log-polar,
morphology, etc.
* arrays of processors; parallel decompositions of algorithms
* techniques for handling very high data rates, such as from laser scanners or
high-speed photography
* software architectures and hierarchies
Systems integration, including:
* design aids and "advisors" for system design and configuration: optics,
lighting, processor interconnection, I/O, etc.
* design aids and "advisors" for algorithm development, target system
programming, and system documentation
* improved interfaces for system designers and integrators
* factory-floor interfaces for nonexpert users
* on-line applications of "intelligent" systems, neural nets etc.
