From: Mark.Maimone@A.GP.CS.CMU.EDU
Subject: WWW: Computer Vision Home Page
[ A nice job by Mark. It ties in some of the Vision List Archives as well.
phil... ]
============================================================
COMPUTER VISION HOME PAGE
============================================================
The Computer Vision Home Page is a collection of vision-related resources
available on the Internet. It is written in the form of several World Wide
Web (WWW) Hypertext documents that contain pointers to more than 5000 test
images, FTP and GOPHER archives, publications, source code, newsgroups,
conferences, and more than 80 research groups' home pages.
****** Now includes a searchable index of over 8,000 documents ******
****** located within four links of the Computer Vision page!! ******
To access the Computer Vision Home Page, just run a program that knows about
the World Wide Web (e.g., NCSA Mosaic) and open one of these URLs:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu:8001/afs/cs/project/cil/www/vision.html
or http://www.cs.cmu.edu:8001/afs/cs/project/cil/www/txtvision.html
(the first one includes a couple useful icons but is therefore slower to load,
so you might prefer the second which is text-only)
I'd appreciate hearing any suggestions you might have about how to improve
these pages (e.g., anything important I've left out, something that doesn't
work for more than one day, something you found really useful).
ACCESSING THE WEB
Anyone with a telnet-capable Internet connection can access the World Wide
Web. If you have a Unix workstation, Macintosh, or PC with Windows you
might like to try the Mosaic program, which is available by anonymous FTP to
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu, cd Mosaic. This is a neat program that supports text,
hypertext, images, animations and sounds (if your system is already
configured for them). However, if you're limited to a text-only interface
(but can still telnet) there are still some text-only browsers out there you
can try (but it's not nearly as much fun!):
If you're near: Telnet to:
================ =============================================
Switzerland: telnet.w3.org or 128.141.201.214
Kansas, USA: ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu (login as www)
New Jersey, USA: www.njit.edu (login as www)
Israel: vms.huji.ac.il or 128.139.4.3 (login as www)
Slovakia: sun.uakom.cs (slow link; use only from nearby)
Hungary: fserv.kfki.hu (slow link, login as www)
Finland: info.funet.fi or 128.214.6.100
Finally, if you are not directly connected to the Internet, as a last resort
you can send an email message to agora@mail.w3.org with the body:
send http://www.cs.cmu.edu:8001/afs/cs/project/cil/ftp/html/txtvision.html
You'll get a very poorly formatted copy of the vision page, but one which
has all the same information. BTW, this is an experimental service, and
only delivers then first 1000 or so lines of text files; no images or
archive files.

Subject: Policy on paper submission to ICCV and the Physics-based Mod. Worksho
This announcement is due to the many questions I have received lately
on whether it is ok to submit to the physics-based modeling workshop
a paper that has already been submitted to ICCV.
After checking with Prof. Grimson, please note that it is ok to
co-submit a paper to the workshop on physics-based modeling and
ICCV. However, I will communicate with Prof. Grimson so that if a
paper gets accepted to ICCV, it will automatically not be considered
for the workshop.

Perspectives on Computer Vision
Presented by Azriel Rosenfeld
Wednesday, February 1, 1995
11:00 am - 5:00 pm
Computer vision is concerned with obtaining information about
scene by computer analysis of images of that scene. It has
applications in document processing, medicine, remote sensing,
industrial inspection, robot control and many other areas. The
course will provide a broad introduction to the fundamental
principles of computer vision. It will emphasize basic concepts
and techniques, and will stress intuitive understanding rather
than mathematical details.
Benefits:
This course will provide new perspectives and insights, as well
as conceptual foundations, that will be valuable.
Intended Audience:
Managers, engineers, scientists and support staff who are interested
in the basics of image computer analysis will be especially interested
in Dr. Rosenfeld's practical approach.
About the presenter:
Azriel Rosenfeld is a tenured professor and director of the Center
for Automation Research at the University of Maryland. He is an
editor of the journal, Computer Graphics and Image Processing,
a fellow of the IEEE, a director of the Machine Vision Association
of ASME, and a past president of the International Association
for Pattern Recognition. He has published about 20 books and
nearly 400 papers, most of them dealing with the computer analysis
of pictorial information. Dr. Rosenfeld received his Ph.D. in
mathematics from Columbia University.

Seventh Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal
October 3-6, 1995
(Under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for AI)
INTRODUCTION
The Seventh Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
(EPIA'95) will be held at Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal,
between October 3-6, 1995. As in previous cases ('89, '91,
and '93), EPIA'95 will be run as an international
conference, English being the official language. The
scientific program includes tutorials, invited lectures,
demonstrations, and paper presentations. The Conference will
include three parallel workshops on Expert Systems, Fuzzy
Logic and Neural Networks, and Applications of A.I. to
Robotics and Vision Systems. These workshops will run
simultaneously (see below) and consist of invited talks,
panels, paper presentations and poster sessions.
Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Robotics and
Vision Systems Workshop may last for either 1, 2 or 3 days,
depending on the quantity and quality of submissions.
APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO ROBOTICS AND
VISION SYSTEMS WORKSHOP
During the last few years, Artificial Intelligence
techniques have been successfully applied to a large number
of problems in robotics and computer vision.
This workshop aims to provide an overview of such
applications specially featuring real prototypes and systems
(e.g., robotic insects, autonomous mobile robots, etc.).
The availability of demonstrations (robots, vision systems,
videos and demonstration software) is highly appreciated and
will be taken into account in assessing submissions.
The workshop will be divided into two areas: paper
presentations and system exhibitions, where prototypes
related to the presentations will be demonstrated.
The organization invites you to participate in the workshop
via paper presentations and/or system demonstrations.
EXHIBITIONS
In order to illustrate and to support theoretical
presentations the organization will provide adequate
conditions (space and facilities) for exhibitions regarding
the three workshops mentioned. These exhibitions can include
software running systems (several platforms are available),
video presentations (PAL-G VHS system), robotics systems
(such as robotics insects, and autonomous robots), and
posters. On the one hand, this space will allow the
presentation of results and real-world applications of the
research developed by our community and, on the other it
will serve as a source of motivation to students and young
researchers.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Authors are asked to submit five (5) copies of their papers
to the submissions address by May 2, 95. Notification of
acceptance or rejection will be mailed to the first (or
designated) author on June 5, 95, and camera ready copies
for inclusion in the workshop proceedings will be due on
July 3, 95. Each copy of submitted papers should include a
separate title page giving the names, addresses, phone
numbers and email addresses (where available) of all
authors, and a list of keywords identifying the subject area
of the paper. Papers should be a maximum of 16 pages and
printed on A4 paper in 12 point type with a maximum of 38
lines per page and 75 characters per line ( corresponding to
LaTeX article style, 12 pt). Double sided submissions are
preferred. Electronic or faxed submissions will not be
accepted. Further inquiries should be addressed to the
inquiries address.
ATTENDANCE
Each workshop will be limited to at most fifty people. In
addition to presenters of papers and posters, there will be
space for a limited number of other participants chosen on
the basis of a one- to two-page research summary which
should include a list of relevant publications, along with
an electronic mail address if possible. A set of working
notes will be available prior to the commencement of the
workshops. Registration information will be available in
June 1995. Please write for registration information to the
inquiries address.

**Guidelines for exhibitors**
infoRAD exhibits are intended to demonstrate the use of computers and
information technology in radiology and medicine. infoRAD is a trade
name used by kind permission of the Radiological Society of North
America.
The core topics to be covered in 1995, by a combination of invited and proffered exhibits are:
* Literature searching
* Computer aided education and training
* Computer aided diagnosis
* Image analysis
* Developmental work in universities and hospitals
* "What's New" in the commercial sector
Additional invited exhibits may also be included on:
* Virtual Reality
* Uses of the Internet for information searching and provision
* Telemedicine (to/from a radiology department)
* Teleconferencing
* Exhibitors will come from universities, hospitals and commercial sector research and development.
* There is no charge for non-commercial exhibitors who will receive at least one free registration.
* Commercial concerns who have bought space in the main exhibition need not pay further.
* Any commercial concern exhibiting only in infoRAD will be charged at the standard MED X RAY
exhibition rate.
* Commercial exhibitors will be asked to avoid selling from their infoRAD booth, rather to treat it as an
opportunity to provide visitors with information on up-and-coming technical developments.
* A short abstract of up to 200 words must be submitted on the form. The abstracts will be included as part
of the congress publications, and will thus be suitable for listing in an exhibitor's CV. It may also appear
in other conference literature produced by the BIR.
* The deadline for submission of this abstract is Friday 24 February 1995
* Exhibitors should generate a copy of the abstract in large text suitable for display in their booth.
* BIR will produce signage in a uniform style showing the exhibitor's affiliation. The relevant text should be
included in the space provided on the abstract form.
* A typical exhibit will be a presentation which may be run on a stand-alone computer (PC, Mac or Unix
workstation)
* Some exhibit areas will have full height backboards which can be used to display related poster
information. Please indicate on the abstract form if these are required.
* Exhibitors may find it helpful to their planning to generate one to four statements defining what a user may
expect to gain from visiting an exhibit. For example, a hands-on demonstration of using a CD-ROM for
literature searching might have the objectives "To interact with CD-ROM technology" and "To understand
how to use the GeeWhizzBase resources". A demonstration of a novel image processing routine may have
the objectives "To learn the basic principles of Eigenlet transforms" and "To understand possible
radiological applications of Eigenlet transforms". If such objective statements are generated they should be
submitted with the abstract and will be published with the abstract.
* infoRAD hours are 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Exhibitors should be present with their exhibits at least from 12
noon until 2.00 p.m. daily to talk to visitors and answer questions.
* The presentation should, if possible, be self-running and should reset or restart on completion. Any
interaction required should be very clearly indicated. Ensure there is enough textual information to get
your message across if you are not there, whilst avoiding fatiguing the viewer who will simply not read
excessive text. Please keep it as simple as possible both in operation and content.
* Internet access may be available, but in case it is not, demonstrations should be prepared so that they will
work from local disk space.
* Exhibitors may create handout material to accompany their exhibit; commercial infoRAD exhibitors are
reminded to avoid commercial information in any such material. Handout material may be subject to
checking by the BIR before or during the meeting.
* infoRAD exhibits will be judged for an award to be judged by an anonymous committee appointed by the
BIR.
* Exhibitors should plan to provide their own hardware to minimise difficulties with non-standard
configurations. Please contact the BIR Conference Office if this may cause problems. Technical support
personnel will not be available on site.
* There will not be any financial assistance available for hardware rental or transportation.
* A standard provision for each exhibit will be a table at least 1.5 x 1 metre, two desk chairs and two 13 amp
sockets.
* Exhibitors will be asked to set-up their equipment by 7 p.m. on the day before the opening of the exhibition
i.e. on Sunday 11 June 1995.
* Exhibits must not be dismantled before 5.30 p.m. on Friday 16 June 1995.
* BIR will provide a general security service for the exhibition hall but accepts no responsibility for loss or
damage to property.
