Subject: Averaging Curves
I have two closed curves (polygons) represented as a sequence of (x,y)
coordinates. These curves may be fairly similar in shape and size
(e.g. two different observers outlining a low contrast object on an
image).
I am looking for a method which would allow me to find an average of
the two curves, or in some sense a curve which would best represent
both the curves. Is there an algorithm which would do something like
this.
One very simple way which I thought of was to choose a center point
for both the curves and convert the curves from rectangular to polar
coordinates. The average point on each angular line would be the
average radial distance between the two curves. This method would be
very dependent on the chosen center point and wouldnot work very well
on concave regions. So are there better ways to do this ?
Thanks,

Subject: Roof Edge Detectors
Hello,
We are looking for papers/ existing software/ etc. that discuss roof
edge detectors (or finding orientation discontinuities in range data).
Any pointers/suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Subject: Info on the Vision List and the Vision List Archives (Please read)
The INTERNET host site for the Vision List is Vision-List@TELEOS.COM for
list contributions and Vision-List-Request@TELEOS.COM for undistributed
correspondence. The Vision List is also distributed as the
COMP.AI.VISION newsgroup.
As the moderator, I am interested in stimulating exchanges on research
and other topics of significance to the vision community. Here is
some information which describes the List and related services.
* PLEASE check to see if you have access to the Vision List via the
* COMP.AI.VISION newsgroup. If you do, please access the List via the
* newsgroup feed and let me know so that I can remove you from the master
* List. This greatly reduces required net bandwidth and makes things easier.
REQUESTS
If you have problems sending messages to the list, questions about
technical details of the list distribution, or the like, send mail to
Vision-List-Request@TELEOS.COM and we will respond personally to your
query.
PLEASE DO NOT send your request to be added to/deleted from the list
to Vision-List@TELEOS.COM. If you do, it may be automatically
redistributed as an article and appear in thousands of mailboxes around
the world. Always send these requests to the -Request address.
SUBMISSIONS & RELEASE FORMAT
To submit an article to Vision-List, simply send it to:
Vision-List@TELEOS.COM
Submissions to the list are currently being delivered in a single
batch mailing about once a week and more often as needed. Caution:
the list moderator does not always edit the incoming messages before
they are redistributed. During those weeks, everything operates
automatically, with the attendant advantages and pitfalls. (If you
fall into one of those pits, please send me mail at
Vision-List-Request and we'll do our best to fix things up.)
The following details may help you in formatting and choosing
appropriate titles for your list submissions. Within a single release
of Vision-List, the format consists of an initial identifying header,
a list of topics covered in that release, and then each message
separated by dashed lines (please avoid the use of dashed lines
starting in column 1 in your submissions: they play havoc with most
autodigesters in the networld). Most of the header information is
automatically removed from each submission at release time. When the
software is working correctly, only "Date:", "From:", and "Subject:"
appear.
ARCHIVES & SERVICES
Backissues of the Vision List Digest and some public domain software
and imagery is available via anonymous FTP.
To access the Vision List archives from anonymous FTP:
1) FTP to FTP.TELEOS.COM
2) Login name is 'anonymous' (all lower case)
3) Once you're logged on, change directory (cd) to
VISION-LIST-ARCHIVE
People who don't have access to anonymous FTP can do FTP-by-mail, a
public service operated by DEC. Send a message containing the single
word "help" to "ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com" for instructions.
That's right!! You no longer need FTP access to get at files on
anonymous FTP servers. Using FTP-Mail and the kindness of Digital
Equipment Corp., you send a request script to the DEC server machine,
and it fetches the files for you and mails them to your electronic
mail doorstop! Try it, it works! FTP-Mail will even ASCII-encode and
compress binary files upon request.
* Current information about the Vision List Archive may be found in
VISION-LIST-ARCHIVE/VISION-LIST-INFO
* A file listing all the Vision List Archive files may be found in
VISION-LIST-ARCHIVE/ARCHIVE-FILE-LISTINGS
* Backissues of the Vision List Digest may be found in
VISION-LIST-ARCHIVE/BACKISSUES
* Azriel Rosenfeld's Computer Vision bibliographies from 1984-present
may be found in VISION-LIST-ARCHIVE/ROSENFELD-BIBLIOGRAPHIES. Other
reference material may be found in REFS-AND-BIBLIOGRAPHIES.
* Public domain software (shareware) may be found in
VISION-LIST-ARCHIVE/SHAREWARE
* Imagery may be found in VISION-LIST-ARCHIVE/IMAGERY
* Announcements for relevant meetings, workshops, conferences
may be found in VISION-LIST-ARCHIVE/ANNOUNCEMENTS
** ** ** ** ** **
The list is intended to embrace discussion on a wide range of vision
topics, including physiological theory, computer vision, machine
vision and image processing algorithms, vision techniques to support
robot navigation and spatial representation, artificial intelligence
and neural network techniques applied to vision, industrial
applications, robotic eyes, implemented systems, ideas, profound
thoughts; anything related to vision and its automation is fair
game.
For those wishing to contribute to the archives with shareware,
imagery, or other good stuff of general interest to the community,
please contact me at Vision-List-Request@TELEOS.COM .
I hope you enjoy the Vision-List!
