Subject: Fast CCD cameras
Organization: Center for Reliable and High-Performance Computing, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Summary: Need info on fast ccd cameras
Keywords: CCD cameras
Does anyone know the maximum possible frame rate available from
a CCD camera? I have heard about 1000 and 500 frames per second
CCD cameras. Does anyone have any more information?
Also, what is a good reference to find out the exact workings of
a CCD camera?
Thanks in advance

Subject: Request for code in C to compute region adjancency graph
Does anyone have a reliable implementation (in C) of an algorithm that
computes a region adjancency graph? Preferably, the code needs to work
on 8-bit pixel values.
Thanks very much,

Subject: Computational Vision Based on Neurobiology
The Proceedings of a symposium "Computational Vision Based On
Neurobiology" whose objective was to communicate the importance of using
neurobiology to develop robust computational vision systems is now available.
Neurobiology is providing new insights into the mechanisms used for pattern
discrimination and recognition. Biological systems use multiple object
attributes to construct a 3-D perception from an initial 2-D representation.
Papers at this symposium discussed several important attributes of
neurobiology that must be taken into account by any robust computational
visual system. These attributes include: modular construction, competitive and
cooperative neural nnetworks, and dynamic object-based representations of 3-
D object space. The symposium contained 23 papers organized into six
sections covering many of the fundamental levels of analysis needed for high
level pattern recognition. The six sections include: Nature of Representation of
Images in the Brain, Mechanisms Used for Stereopsis, Cortical Color
Mecahnisms, and Dynamic Gain Control of Movement: Low Level and High
Level Mechanisms, and Dynamic Object-Based Scene Analysis Using
Multiple Attributes.
This symposium was designed to bring together scientists who use a
multiattribute approach for analyzing an observer's perception to provide
new insights into the different processing modules, and those who are
developing computational models that must analyze complex scenes at real-
time frame rates. A two hour evening workshop that discussed Dynamic
Object-Based Scene Analysis Using Multiple Attributes is also included in
the Proceedings. It is hoped that the broad range of relevant topics being
presented at this symposium will serve to encourage interactions among
scientists in psychophysics, neurobiology, comptutational vision, image
processing, and biomedical engineering.

Subject: NIPS for vision researchers
Hi,
I'd like to encourage readers of Vision-List to submit to the NIPS
(Neural Information Processing Systems) conference this year. NIPS is
a very high quality meeting - about 5% of the submissions are accepted
for talks and about 20% for posters. (This is a stricter acceptance
standard than many journals!) NIPS is also very multi-displinary with
papers from neuroscience, computer science, and cognitive science as
well as many other fields.
There has always been a flow of ideas between computer vision and
neural visual processing. I'd like to see this continue and hope you
will submit your work to NIPS.
Please see the call for papers below for more details.
Thanks,
Subutai Ahmad

Note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend
the conference to present the work.
General
Authors should submit six (6) copies of their papers in hard copy form. All
paper submissions should be to the following address. Electronic or fax
submissions cannot be accepted.
IJCAI-95 Paper Submissions,
American Association for Artificial Intelligence,
445, Burgess Drive,
Menlo Park, CA. 94025, USA.
(telephone (415) 328-3123, email ijcai@aaai.org).
Appearance and Length
Papers should be printed on 8.5'' x 11'' or A4 sized paper. They must be a
maximum of 15 pages long, each page having no more than 43 lines, lines being
at most 140mm long and with 12 point type. Title, abstract, figures and
references must be included within this length limit. Papers breaking these
rules will not be considered for presentation at the conference.
Letter quality print is required. (Normally, dot-matrix printout will be
unacceptable unless truly of letter quality. Exceptions will be made for
submissions from countries where high quality printers are not widely
available.)
Title Page
Each copy of the paper must include a title page, separate from the body of
the paper. This should contain:
* Title of the paper
* Full names, postal addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers and email
addresses (where these exist) of all authors. The first postal address
should be one that is suitable for delivery of items by courier service
* An abstract of 100-200 words
* A set of keywords giving the area/subarea of the paper and describing the
topic of the paper. This information, together with the title of the paper,
will be the main information used in allocating reviewers.
* The following declaration:
``This paper has not already been accepted by and is not currently under
review for a journal or another conference. Nor will it be submitted
for such during IJCAI's review period.''
Policy on Multiple Submissions
IJCAI will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under
review for a journal or another conference. Authors are also expected not to
submit their papers elsewhere during IJCAI's review period. These
restrictions apply only to journals and conferences, not to workshops and
similar specialized presentations with a limited audience.
Review Criteria
Papers will be subject to peer review, but this review will not be ``blind''
(that is, the reviewers will be aware of the names of the authors). Selection
criteria include accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance
of results and the quality of the presentation. The decision of the Program
Committee, taking into consideration the individual reviews, will be final
and cannot be appealed. Papers selected will be scheduled for presentation
and will be printed in the proceedings. Authors of accepted papers, or their
representatives, are expected to present their papers at the conference.
Distinguished Paper Awards
The Program Committee will distinguish one or more papers of exceptional
quality for special awards. This decision will in no way depend on whether
the authors choose to enhance their paper with a video presentation.
Other Calls
Calls for tutorial and workshop proposals and video presentations for
IJCAI-95 will be issued shortly.

CONFERENCE LOCATION
The IEEE Workshop on Nonlinear Signal and Image Processing is the second
in a series of international workshops presenting leading edge work in
nonlinear digital signal and image processing and computer vision. Held
in Tampere, Finland, in 1993, it moves to Greece in 1995.
The workshop will be held in a luxury holiday resort set in one of
the most unspoilt and picturesque regions in Greece at Neos Marmaras,
Halkidiki. The resort set embraces 4500 acres of countryside and
stretches along more than 10 kms of secluded coves and sandy beaches of
the Aegean Sea.
TOPICS
The workshop will consist of sessions with both invited and contributed
papers. The workshop proceedings will be published and distributed to
the participants of the workshop. Due to workshop facility constraints,
attendance will be limited with priority given to those who submit and
present a paper. Suitable topics include:
* Median and order statistics related methods.
Nonlinear processing of multivariate signals.
* Morphological signal/image processing and analysis.
* Volterra and general polynomial filters. Homomorphic processing.
* Neural network techniques. Fuzzy techniques. Chaotic systems.
* Higher order statistics applied to detection and estimation.
Nonlinear methods in signal estimation.
* Nonlinear methods in pattern recognition and computer vision.
* Nonlinear methods in coding and detection.
* Application specific nonlinearities. Implementation of nonlinear systems.

Subject: Summer School on Mathematical Morphology
SUMMER SCHOOL ON MATHEMATICAL MORPHOLOGY
12 -- 14 September 1994
(Fontainebleau - France)
------------------------------------------
MATHEMATICAL MORPHOLOGY AND IMAGE ANALYSIS
__________________________________________
The purpose of this course is to present the tools of
Mathematical Morphology and to illustrate their use in image
analysis. The transformations are introduced in the set context
(binary image processing) and in the numerical context (greytone image
processing), in order to acquaint the audience with the similarities
and specific difficulties of these two different application areas.
Hands-on sessions will help the attendants to get familiar
with the notions introduced in the lectures by using the teaching
software MICROMORPH. Its tree structure enables an easy handling of
morphological tools of increasing difficulty. This training will be
sustained by demonstrations on image processors and audiovisual
presentations.
Numerous operations will be presented:
* Erosions, dilations, openings, closings and size distributions.
* Morphological gradients, "top-hat" transforms, contrast operators.
* Morphological filters.
* Geodesic transformations.
* Segmentation tools: ultimate erosion, watershed, hierarchical operations.
* Measures, stereology, digitization.
These notions will be illustrated by numerous examples of
applications taken from biology, metallography, materials sciences,
geology, industrial vision, numerical radiology, etc.
This course does not require specific mathematical knowledge
nor prior background in morphological image processing. However, some
familiarity with microcomputers is an advantage for the hands-on
sessions.
