From: sjb@traquair.com (Stephen J. Bradshaw)
Subject: Utilizing 2D-Convolution Hardware in C40 Systems
Hello,
Traquair Data Systems has developed a high speed 2-D Convolution engine
for Vision & Image Processing applications, for use with TMS320C40 systems.
The module incorporates dedicated 2-D convolution hardware and a TMS320C40
processor, and is capable of processing image data at a rate of to 12.5M
pixels per second. This is about an order of maginitude faster than what a
single TMS320C40 processor can achieve on its own.
It is primarily an 8-bit design, although convolved data can be generated
and stored at a 16-bit resolution, which is useful when employing multiple
pass convolution algorithms. It can also be used for selectively processing
the Red, Green, or Blue components of an RGB image.
The module can be incorporated as part of a TMS320C40 processor network,
and can be connected with C40 based 8-bit and 24-bit Video I/O interfaces.
We are currently putting together some application notes, are interested in
establishing contact with organizations that may have interesting or perhaps
unusual applications or requirements for TMS320C40 architectures with the
above image processing enhancements. Of particular interest is how to best
benefit from a programmable (currently 256 element) look up table, which
makes up part of the post processing section of the convolution hardware, to
implement linear or non-linear operations. Has anyone else done something
like this, and if so, what are their experiences ?
Many Thanks,
Steve Bradshaw No disclaimers, this is company policy !

Hi there,
I am trying to compile a list of people who are currently working in
the area of facial recognition, and the techniques and applications which
have/are being used. My intentions are to set up a collaborating peer
group, so if you work in this area or know of others working in the same
discipline, then please email me your specific interests and possibly a
short introduction of yourself to
Thank you in advance

Subject: Images for face recognition
Keywords: computer vision, face recognition, face identification
Hello everybody
I'm working on a project about face recognition/identification. I'm
looking now for some images of faces for test purposes. As far as I
know there are some images on ftp.teleos.com and on ftp.ai.mit.edu.
Does anybody know where are other data bases with images of faces ???
If I get any reasonable results I'll post a list with these sites in
a few days.
Thanks a lot

Subject: Vision components for control of welding
hi,
A collegue is trying to find technology, (or components) to solve the following
problem:
given: - a TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) butt weld
- a (colour) fiber optics based video system looking at the weld pool
(from the bottom, so looking for weld penetration)
find/create a system that:
- converts the video signal to a colour bitmap
- thresh-holds the bitmap to determine the (oval shaped) region
that is the weld pool's penetration
- calculates the maximum length and width of that weld pool
- provides this information at .2->1 Hz
- is industrially reliable, and appropriate for a factory
assuming that:
- the threshholding colour information is predefined in a file
If there is a supplier out there who can furnish such a system I'd like a
contact or to hear from them. If this is a question of assembling existing
tools, could you provide pointers to the elements required.
thanks for your attention,

CVPR Tutorials
==============
Sunday, June 19
1:00 - 5:00 pm
Shape and Image Representation for Recognition: Geometric Deformations,
Scale, and Nonlinear Diffusion
Instructor: Benjamin B. Kimia, Brown University
A general framework for representing shape and images based on differential
geometeric deformations of them is represented for the purpose of object
recognition. This framework embeds notions of skeleltons but includes
classification of points AND a notion of significance, doing away with
classical noise problems there. Another topic is mathematical morphology
which is also a special case under this framework. We will present numerical
algorithms for very robust decompositions of industrial and biomedical shapes
into functional parts. In addition, the deformable contours are exellent
alternatives for snakes. We will show how this can be generalized
to three-dimensional deformations and the resulting scale-space for surface
estimates and images.
Sunday, June 19
1:00 - 5:00 pm
Applications of Neural Networks in Signal and Image Processing
Instructor: Nasser M. Nasrabadi, SUNY at Buffalo
This course is designed for engineers interested in exploring the applications
of ANNs to signal and image processing. Topics will include human visual
system, visual cortex, study of neurons receptive fields, multi-layer networks,
time delay neural network, radial basis function, Kohonen feature maps,
Hopfield neural network, simulated annealing for global optimization techniques.
Applications of ANNs includes stereo vision, motion analysis, surface
interpolation, image restoration, image segmentation, object recognition,
optical character recognition, recognition of handwritten English words,
image compression, non-linear predictions and robotics applications.
Monday, June 20
8:00 am - 12 noon
Biomedical Image Processing
Instructor: Raj Acharia, SUNY at Buffalo
In this tutorial, we will briefly review the various Medical Imaging
Modalities such as MRI, CT and PET. We will also provide an overview of the
key problems in Biomedical Image Analysis. We will review problems in Mul
tiresolution Texture Analysis for Bone Tissue Characterization,
Segmentation, Motion Analysis, Physiological/Functional Models and
Multimodality Imaging.
Monday, June 20
8:00 am - 12 noon
Document Understanding
Instructor: Sargur N. Srihari, CEDAR, SUNY at Buffalo
Monday, 6/20/94
This tutorial will cover principles of document analysis, recognition and
understanding. Both handwriting and machine-print recognition will be
reviewed. Transition of research algorithms into real-time systems will be
described.
Monday, June 20
8:00 am - 12 noon
Three-dimensional object recognition
Instructor: Patrick Flynn, Washington State University
This tutorial will explore each of the logical modules of
model-based 3D object recognition systems. We will briefly survey the state
of the art in 3D imaging sensors, explore image features commonly used for
3D vision and methods for their extraction from imagery, address 3D modeling
techniques, and present a number of poular strategies for matching image
features to stored models.
Monday, June 20
1:00 - 5:00 pm
Visual Databases and Multimedia
Instructor: Ramesh Jain, University of California at San Diego
In many applications, a large volume of image and video data must be,
organized to allow efficient retrieval of information. The queries in such,
databases will use alphanumeric and multimedia entities. In this tutorial,
we will discuss techniques for database management systems that can answer
content queries in databases containing video, graphics, images, and other
non-alphanumeric data.
Monday, June 20
1:00 - 5:00 pm
Statistical Pattern Recognition
Instructor: Anil Jain, Michigan State University
Pattern recognition techniques are computer-based procedures for
automatically classifying objects and making decisions. Commercial pattern
recognition systems exist for printed text, blood cells, fingerprints, voice
recognition, and word recognition. Most industrial machine vision systems
employ pattern recognition to identify objects for sorting, inspection and
assembly. The objective of this tutorial is to introduce fundamental methods
of statistical pattern recognition with examples from several application
areas.
Monday, June 20
1:00 - 5:00 pm
Mathematical Morphology
Instructor: Robert Haralick, University of Washington
This tutorial will visually illustrate the basic principles of Mathematical
Morphology. Binary and gray scale dilation, erosion, opening, and closing
will be covered as well as the opening and closing transforms which use
recursive morphology. Applications in shape extraction, document image
analysis, and noise cleaning will be shown.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
The Fourth Automatic Target Recognizer (ATR) Systems and Technology
Conference will be held concurrently with the Image Understanding (IU)
Workshop at the Naval Postgraduate School and Hyatt Regency Hotel in

a key objective of both groups, for military as well as commercial
applications, this conference has a theme of "Cooperative Development."
The Joint Conference will minimize overlap between the ATR and IU
sessions to facilitate participation in both conferences. Civilian
and Military leaders will give key speeches about operational
applications and emerging technologies of interest to both groups.
Some ATR sessions will be SECRET NOFORN.
