From: Mark Burge <burge@inf.ethz.ch>
Subject: Voronoi Diagrams for Segments
I am searching for an implementation of an algorithm to construct the
Voronoi diagram of a set of segments. The implementations which I know of,
and which were previously discussed on this list, dealt only with Voronoi
diagrams constructed from point sets.
The point set based Voronoi diagrams are insufficent for the problems
to which I wish to apply them, and subsampling segments and using these
as input to the point based Voronoi diagram introduces both technically
and theoretically a large number of problems, not to mention most of the
algorithms have O(n^2) memory usage, where n is the numer of points in
the input set.
I am particularly interested in the algorithms of, Chee K Yap, and
R.L. Drysdale, which are O(nlgn). Has anyone implemented these algorithms,
or knows the email address of the authors?
Regards,
Mark Burge

Subject: Ploting Optical Flow -...-, Needle diagram, quiver fn
hello:
i need to plot the optical flow field (in simpler words i need to plot
vectors). the vectors are represented by the starting (x_n,y_n)
coordinates and the end (x_end_n,y_end_n) coordinates. what i need is a
program (in the unix environment) which can join these two points by a
straight line with an arrow pointing towards (x_end_n,y_end_n) (there are
"n" such start and end coordinates). i must also be able to take a hard
copy of the plot. These plots are also called the needle diagrams, and for
people who have used matlab it is nothing but the quiver function.
any pointers towards procuring source code of the above mentioned program
is welcome. any other suggestions will also be appreciated.

Dear Moderator,
following is an ftp'able PAMI preprint which I would like to submit to
the list.
Thanks,
Amnon Shashua.
PAMI preprint available: "Algebraic Functions for Recognition"
Note: the following is the journal version of ECCV'94 poster. It
contains important additions to the poster (e.g., 7 corresponding
points are sufficient for linear solution to the problem of
"re-projection", bilinearity, and applications).
ALGEBRAIC FUNCTIONS FOR RECOGNITION
to appear in IEEE T. on PAMI.
A. Shashua
abstract:
In the general case, a trilinear relationship between three
perspective views is shown to exist. The {\it trilinearity\/} result
is shown to be of much practical use in visual recognition by
alignment --- yielding a direct re-projection method that cuts through
the computations of camera transformation, scene structure and
epipolar geometry. Moreover, the direct method is linear and sets a
new lower theoretical bound on the minimal number of points that are
required for a linear solution for the task of re-projection. The
proof of the central result may be of further interest as it
demonstrates certain regularities across homographies of the plane and
introduces new view invariants. Experiments on simulated and real
image data were conducted, including a comparative analysis with
epipolar intersection and the linear combination methods, with results
indicating a greater degree of robustness in practice and a higher
level of performance in re-projection tasks.

Subject: AAAI 1995 Spring & Fall Symposium Calls for Proposals
1995 Spring Symposium Series and 1995 Fall Symposium Series
Call for Proposals
AAAI invites proposals for the 1995 Spring Symposium Series, to be held
at Stanford University, California, March 27-29, 1995,
and for the 1995 Fall Symposium Series, November, 1995 (location
to be announced)
The Spring and Fall Symposium Series are a yearly set of two and one-half day
long symposia run in parallel at a common site. They are designed to
bring colleagues together in an intimate forum while at the same time
providing a significant gathering point for the AI community.
Approximately eight symposia on a broad range of topics within and
around AI will be selected for the 1995 Spring Symposium Series, and
approximately five symposia will be selected for the 1995 Fall Symposium
Series.
The symposia are intended to encourage presentation of speculative
work and work in progress, as well as completed work. Ample time
should be scheduled for discussion. Novel programming, including the
use of target problems, open-format panels, working groups, or
breakout sessions, is encouraged. Working notes will be prepared, and
distributed to the participants. At the discretion of the individual
symposium chairs, these working notes may also be made available as
AAAI Technical Reports following the meeting. Most participants of
the symposia will be selected on the basis of statements of interest
or abstracts submitted to the symposia chairs; some open registration
will be allowed. All symposia are limited in size, and participants
will be expected to attend a single symposium.
Proposals for symposia should be between two and five pages in length,
and should contain:
- A title for the symposium
- A description of the symposium, identifying specific areas of interest
- Evidence that the symposium is of interest at this time--such as a
completed, successful one-day workshop on a related topic
- The names and (physical and electronic) addresses of the
organizing committee, preferably three or four people at different
sites, all of whom have agreed to serve on the committee
- A list of several potential participants.
Ideally, the entire organizing committee should collaborate in producing
the proposal. If possible, a draft proposal should be sent out to a few of the
potential participants and their comments solicited.
All proposals will be reviewed by the AAAI Symposium Committee (Chair:
Lynn Andrea Stein, MIT; Associate Chairs: Bonnie Dorr, University of
Maryland; Ben Kuipers, University of Texas at Austin). The criteria
for acceptance of proposals include:
- An appropriate level of perceived interest in the topic of the symposium
among AAAI members.
- No long-term ongoing series of activities in the particular topic. (The
Spring Symposium Series serves more to nurture interest in particular
topics than to maintain it over a number of years.) The existence of
activities in related and more-general topics will help to indicate the level
of interest in the particular topic.
- An appropriate organizing committee.
Accepted proposals will be distributed as widely as possible over
the subfields of AI, and balanced between theoretical and applied
topics. Symposia bridging theory and practice and those combining AI
and related fields are particularly solicited.
Symposium proposals should be submitted as soon as possible, but no
later than July 1, 1994. Proposals that are submitted significantly before
this deadline can be in draft form. Comments on how to improve and
complete the proposal will be returned to the submitter in time for
revisions to be made before the deadline. Notifications of acceptance or
rejection will be sent to submitters around July 8, 1994. The submitters
of accepted proposals will become the chair of the symposium, unless
alternative arrangements are made.
The symposium organizing committees will be responsible for:
- Producing, in conjunction with the general chair, a Call for Participation
for the symposium, which will be distributed to the AAAI membership
- Additional publicity of the symposium, especially to potential
audiences from outside the AAAI community
- Reviewing requests to participate in the symposium and
determining symposium participants
- Preparing working notes for the symposium
- Scheduling the activities of the symposium
- Preparing a short review of the symposium, to be printed in the AI
Magazine.
AAAI will provide logistical support, will take care of all local
arrangements, and will arrange for reproducing and distributing the
working notes.
Please submit (preferably by electronic mail) your symposium proposals,
and inquiries concerning symposia, to the chair:

PRELIMINARY PROGRAM & CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Mathematical Morphology and its Applications to Image Processing
5-9 September 1994
Course and Technical Workshop
5-6 September 1994 7-9 September 1994
Conference Chair: Jean Serra (EMP)
LOCATION: Fontainebleau, France
---------------------------------------------------------
[A] COURSE on MODELS AND SIMULATIONS OF RANDOM STRUCTURES
5-6 September 1994
---------------------------------------------------------
Coordinator: D. Jeulin (EMP)
This course is an introduction to the methods developed in
Geostatistics and Mathematical Morphology in order to model and
simulate random functions (scalar or multivariate) and random sets.
Physical situations that are relevant to these models will be
presented, as for instance: fracture statistics of materials, scanning
or transmission electron microscope images, including multispectral
images, rough surfaces, porous or multiphase media. After an
introduction to the Theory of Random Sets, various types of models
will be detailed. For each of them, theoretical and practical aspects
will be stressed:
o construction and properties of the models
o model validation, parameter estimation, and simulations
o examples of applications
Demonstrations of the simulation techniques on computer
workstations will provide illustrations. This course requires only a
basic knowledge in applied probability. It is oriented towards the
needs of scientists and engineers who want to relate the physical
behaviour and the texture of heterogeneous media. They could be
statisticians, physicists, experimentalists, earth scientists, and
also users of image analysis and synthesis for all its domains of
application (materials, biology, artificial vision, CAD, remote
sensing, geophysics, biometry, image coding, etc.)
Provisional Organization of the Course
1. General introduction (D. Jeulin)
2. Basic Random sets and tools:
o From Random points to Random sets (Ch. Lantu'ejoul)
o Random tessellations and basic measurements (J. Serra)
o Morphological analysis of discrete-space binary random fields

Subject: IJCAI-95 Panel, Tutorial, Workshop, & Video Calls for Proposals
Included below are the IJCAI-95 Panel, Tutorial, Workshop and Video Calls.
Please feel free to remail to other interested parties in the AI Community.
=========================================================================
CALL FOR PANEL PROPOSALS: IJCAI-95
The IJCAI-95 Program Committee invites proposals for the Panel Program for
IJCAI-95, which is to be held in Montreal, Canada, August 20-25, 1995.
A panel allows three to five people to present their distinct views on an
issue or question of general interest.
Panels should be both relevant and interesting to the AI community, and have a
clearly specified issue that is narrow enough to be addressed in a single
session of one hour (though longer sessions could be negotiated). Panelists
must have substantial experience with the topic.
A panel presents focused questions that stimulate audience discussion.
It focuses on alternative approaches to, or views on, a common question,
where panelists present their ideas. The question must be such that there are
significantly opposing views expressed by the members of the panel.
Panels are usually organized as follows: the chairperson starts the panel by
introducing the topic and by providing appropriate background material; next,
the panelists provide short presentations, followed by an exchange between the
panelists and the audience; the chairperson ends the panel with a summary
statement.
The discussion with the audience must take precedence. Panel chairs should
plan on at least one-third of the total time to be spent on this.
Requirements for Submission
Panel proposals will only be accepted if it is very clear that the panel will
allow for the expression of widely diverging positions on an issue
of concern to a wide section of the AI community. Because of this very
strong requirement, it is likely that only a small number of proposals
will be accepted.
A panel proposal consists of a cover page, an overall summary, a
summary of each member's presentation, and letters from the panelists
confirming their intent to participate.
The cover page should contain:
Title of the panel
Name, postal address, phone number and email address of the proposed
chairperson
Names, postal addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of the
proposed panelists.
The overall summary should be about 500 words in length, giving a clear
description of the topic of the panel in a manner that general members of the
AI community can understand and appreciate. It should indicate how the
member's presentations will present a range of different approaches to the
common issue. In addition, the summary should address the following questions:
What is the relevance or significance of the panel at this time?
Everyone's research area is important, but why is a panel particularly useful
now, on this topic, and in the IJCAI-95 context?
What is the general AI interest in the topic? Please give evidence, such
as recent important papers, workshops, etc.
How does the panel membership demonstrate broad coverage of the topic,
or, if this is not the case, why is narrow coverage preferable?
If your topic has been discussed by another panel at a recent national or
international AI conference, how will your panel differ from it?
The final part of a proposal consists of brief summaries of each
member's presentation, including the chairperson's presentation, if there is
one. Each summary should give a clear description of the member's view or
approach and demonstrate connections to the panel topic. Each member's
summary should be approximately 500 words in length.
The entire proposal should make it clear that all the participants are
addressing a common issue, but from very different viewpoints.
Panel proposals should be submitted as soon as possible, but no later than
November 1st 1994. Proposals will be reviewed as soon as they are received.
Proposals may be accepted as they stand or revision and re-review may be
required.
Chairpersons for accepted proposals will be responsible for:
Preparation of a description of the panel for publication in the
conference proceedings (Normally, this will be an extended version of the
complete proposal.)
Determining the format of the panel session and ensuring that it runs
according to schedule
Ensuring that the presentations of the panelists adequately address the
panel's topic.
Submit proposals and enquiries to:

===========================================================================
CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS: IJCAI-95
The IJCAI-95 Program Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial Program for
IJCAI-95, which is to be held in Montreal, Canada, August 20-25, 1995.
Tutorials will be offered both on standard topics and on new and more advanced
topics. A list of suggested topics that can be covered by tutorials is given
below, but this list is only a guide. Other topics, both related to these and
quite different from them, will be considered:
Analogical and Inductive Inference
Logics for AI and Inference Techniques
Architectures for AI Systems
Machine Learning
AI in Education
Mobile Robot Navigation
AI in Engineering Design
Motion Planning in Robotics
Computer Vision
Natural Language Programming
Distributed AI
Neural Networks -- Principles and Applications
Epistemic Logic in AI
Object-Oriented Knowledge Representation
Hybrid Reasoning
Planning and Reasoning about Time
Innovative Applications of AI
Probabilistic Reasoning and Uncertainty
Knowledge Acquisition -- Theory and Practice
Programming and Reasoning with Constraints
Intelligent Environments to Support Human Learning
Requirements for Submission
Anyone interested in presenting a tutorial should submit a proposal to the
IJCAI-95 Tutorial Chair, Gordon McCalla. A tutorial proposal should contain
the following information:
A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in the
conference registration brochure
A detailed outline of the tutorial
The necessary background and the potential target audience for the
tutorial
A description of why the tutorial topic is of interest to a substantial
part of the IJCAI audience
A brief resume of the presenter(s), which should include name, postal
address, phone and fax numbers, email address if available, background in the
tutorial area, any available example of work in the area (ideally, a published
tutorial-level article on the subject), evidence of teaching experience
(including references that address the proposer's presentation ability), and
evidence of scholarship in AI/Computer Science (equivalent to a published IJCAI
conference paper or tutorial syllabus).
Those submitting a proposal should keep in mind that tutorials are intended to
provide an overview of the field; they should present reasonably well agreed
upon information in a balanced way. Tutorials should not be used to advocate a
single avenue of research, nor should they promote a product. It is planned
that the Tutorial Program will consist of about sixteen four-hour tutorials
given at the beginning of the conference.
Proposals must be received by November 1, 1994. Decisions about topics and
speakers will be made by December 15, 1994.
Tutors will be sent a set of guidelines for the preparation of course materials.
Completed course materials must be received for duplication by the AAAI office
by April 28, 1995. Please note that IJCAI will normally only duplicate up to
200 pages per participant.
Proposals should be sent to:

==============================================================================
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS: IJCAI-95
The IJCAI-95 Program Committee invites proposals for the Workshop Program for
IJCAI-95, which is to be held in Montreal, Canada, August 1995.
The workshops for IJCAI-95 will be held in the period 19th - 21st August,
immediately prior to the start of the main conference.
Gathering in an informal setting, workshop participants will have the
opportunity to meet and discuss selected technical topics in an atmosphere
which fosters the active exchange of ideas among researchers and practitioners.
Members from all segments of the AI community are invited to submit proposals
for review.
To encourage interaction and a broad exchange of ideas, the workshops will be
kept small, preferably under 30 participants and certainly under 40.
Attendance should be limited to active participants only. Workshops are
intended to be genuinely interactive events and not mini-conferences. Thus,
although the format of workshop presentations will be determined by the
organizers proposing the workshop, ample time must be allotted for general
discussion. Workshops can vary in length, but most will last a full day.
Attendees at workshops will be required to register for the main IJCAI
conference.
Proposals for workshops should be between
two and three pages in length, and should contain:
A brief but technical description of the workshop identifying specific
technical issues that will be its focus.
A discussion of why the workshop is of interest at this time.
The names, postal addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of the
Organizing Committee, which should consist of three or four people
knowledgeable in the field but not all at the same institution.
The name of one member of the Organizing Committee who is designated the
primary contact, this being someone with an email address.
A list of previously-organized related workshops organized by any of the
Organizing Committee. This is to help the Workshop Chair put the workshop in
context (previous experience with similar workshops is not required).
If possible, a list of tentatively confirmed attendees.
A proposed schedule for organizing the workshop and a preliminary agenda.
A description of how the organizers intend to encourage a workshop,
rather than a mini-conference, atmosphere.
Proposers are encouraged to send their draft proposal to potential
participants for comments before submission.
Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text
as soon as possible, but no later than November 1, 1994. Organizers will
be notified of the committee's decision no later than December 1, 1994.
Submitters can request an early decision on their proposals, though in such
cases the standards applied will necessarily be raised.
A summary of accepted workshops with contact addresses will be
available by anonymous FTP from agora.leeds.ac.uk, directory
scs/IJCAI95, after 15th December 1994.
Alternatively, send a blank email message to:
ijcai-95-ws@scs.leeds.ac.uk
Workshop organizers will be responsible for:
Producing and distributing a Call for Participation in the workshop,
open to all members of the AI community. The Call for Participation should
make it clear that all workshop participants are expected to register
for the main IJCAI conference and that the number of participants is limited.
It should also make clear the process by which the Organizing Committee will
select the participants.
Reviewing requests to participate in the workshop and selecting the
participants.
By December 1, 1995, preparing a review of the workshop for
possible publication and sending it to the workshop chair.
Workshop organizers will be sent a set of guidelines for the preparation of
any working notes. They must provide the AAAI office with the following
materials by April 7, 1995:
A provisional list of workshop participants.
Any working notes to be duplicated for the workshop, up to a total of
200 pages per participant.
A list of audio-visual requirements and any special room requirements.
Workshop organizers must provide the AAAI office with the following materials
by August 1, 1995:
A final list of workshop participants.
IJCAI will be responsible for:
Providing logistical support and a meeting place for the workshop.
In conjunction with the organizers, determining the workshop date and time.
Duplicating working notes as described above and distributing them to
the participants.
IJCAI encourages the production of publications based on the workshops, but
the IJCAI name cannot be used on such publications without prior permission
being given. IJCAI reserves the right to cancel any workshop if deadlines are
missed.
To cover costs, it will be necessary to charge a fee of US$50 for each
participant for each workshop in addition to the normal IJCAI-95 conference
registration fee.

IJCAI-95 Video Track : Call For Videos
-------------------------------------------
As a medium, videotapes are better suited than written papers to illuminate
the efficacy of AI research, especially in the emerging and exciting areas
of AI in Education, Art, Music, Entertainment, Hypermedia, 3-D Animation,
Artificial Life, Network-Based tools like Mosaic, etc.
If a picture is worth thousand words, then a (3-D) movie will certainly
enhance the illustration of behaviors of these systems that are based on
AI principles, methods, and tools.
Recognizing this potential of video presentations to demonstrate and augment
AI research results, a Video Track has been designated since IJCAI-89 to be
an integral part of the Technical Programs of IJCAI Conferences.
The Video Track is designed to demonstrate the current levels of
usefulness of AI tools, techniques, and methods for a variety of
practical and theoretical problems arising in industrial, commercial,
government, space, and educational areas.
You are invited and strongly encouraged to submit to this video track and
take advantage of the following opportunities and benefits that we intend
to provide as a forum to showcase your best AI research results.
+ Special video sessions will be organised and timetabled as part of
the conference, giving authors an opportunity to present and briefly
discuss their videos.
+ Abstracts of accepted videos will appear in the conference proceedings.
+ The entire video program will be published by IJCAI Inc. and will be
available for sale after the conference.
+ Apart from the scheduled video sessions where the authors will
participate in the presentations, we also plan to make the video
program widely viewable by the conference attendees by designating
certain time periods during which the videos will run unattended.
Additional details are provided below on:
+ Submission Requirements and Guidelines;
+ Review Criteria;
+ Publication;
+ Important Dates, and
+ Contact Information.
We look forward to your submissions that will contribute to the success
of the IJCAI-95 Video Track.
Submission Requirements and Guidelines
--------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit THREE (3) copies of a videotape of 15 minutes
maximum duration, accompanied by a submission letter that includes:
+ Title
+ Full names, postal addresses, phone numbers and email addresses
of all authors
+ Subject matter area (e.g. knowledge acquisition, learning, vision,...)
+ Tape format: indicate one of PAL, SECAM, or NTSC(preferred);

All tapes, along with their abstracts, must be submitted by January 6, 1995
to the Videotape Track Chair. Submissions received after that date will be
returned unopened. Authors should note that ordinary mail can sometimes be
considerably delayed and should take this into account when timing their
submissions.
+ Notification of receipt will be mailed to the first or designated
author soon after receipt.
+ All inquiries regarding lost submissions must be made by Feb. 7, 1995.
+ Tapes cannot be returned;
authors should retain extra copies for making revisions.
+ Notification of acceptance or rejection will be mailed on or before
March 5, 1995 to the first or designated author.
+ Authors will also have the opportunity to submit a revised version of
their videotape about one month following notification of acceptance.
Revised tapes must not be more than fifteen (15) minutes duration,
must be in NTSC-VHS (U.S. Standard only) format, and must be submitted
to the Video Track Chair.
+ Accepted tapes will be sent directly from the Video Track Chair to the
conference publisher.
Review Criteria
---------------
Each tape will be rigorously reviewed by experts in the subject matter
areas of the tape and only the best tapes will be selected for presentation
at the conference. The following general criteria will guide the selection:
+ Significance and originality of system functionality presented;
+ The need for and the contribution of the AI component of the system;
+ Clarity of presentation of system's goals, methods, and results;
+ Quality of Presentation (including audio, video, and pace).
+ Level of interest to the conference audience;
Preference will be given to systems that show a high level of maturity.
Tapes that are deemed to be advertising commercial products, propaganda,
purely expository materials, merely taped lectures, or material not of
scientific or technical value will be rejected.
Publication
-----------
Abstracts of accepted videos will be allotted a maximum of two pages each
in the conference proceedings. The style of these two-page papers should
be the same as the full length papers in the Proceedings, with an initial
abstract of approximately 50 words.
The final version of the video's abstract, edited in the format specified
in the acceptance letter, must be received by the publishers in the USA
by April 24, 1995. Authors will be required to transfer copyright of
their abstract (but not the video) to IJCAI Inc.
In addition, a 30-minute presentation slot will be made available as part
of one of the video sessions. To ensure a consistent format to the sessions
and an opportunity for questions, authors should keep as close as possible
to the following format for their presentations:
+ 3 minutes introductory presentation
+ 10-13 minutes (average) video showing
+ 7-10 minutes technical details
+ 2 minutes conclusions
+ 5 minutes question period
In addition to showing the accepted tapes at the conference, copies of
them will be available at a nominal cost after the conference.
