I have made such a program for Windows, using 486 or Pentium. It's realtime
if the video pictures are not very bad. It can read only norwegian license
plates at the moment, but right now I'm teaching it to read swedish license
plates too. The program is written mainly in Visual Basic, with some DLL's
and VBX's. Iy uses Screen Machine II from FAST Electronics for video input
and JPG compression of saved images.
It's marketed by a Norwegian company, Digitalteknikk AS.

Subject: High Precision Photogrammetric Data Set for Building Reconstruction
and Terrain Modelling with Ground Truth
High Precision Photogrammetric Data Set for Building Reconstruction
and Terrain Modelling with Ground Truth
This document describes a test data set prepared for use in the project
AMOBE (Automation of Digital Terrain Model Generation and Man-Made
Object Extraction from Aerial Images) being conducted at ETH Zurich
between the photogrammetric and vision groups and in cooperation with
SRI. We are distributing this data with the purpose of providing a basis
for comparison and evaluation of image understanding techniques, in
particular those dealing with the reconstruction of man-made objects.
Features of this data set include provision of the full photogrammetric
information, four-way image overlap and ground truth.
The set includes the following data:
1. High resolution, large-scale colour aerial images
RGB images, image scale 1:5,000, images scanned with a geometrically
precise photogrammetric scanner with 15 microns pixel size. Four
images, forming a 2 x 2 block, with 60% forward and sidewards overlap
were used. To reduce the amount of data only two image subsets
(an industrial and a residential area) will be distributed. These
areas are 1800 x 1800 pixels and are imaged in all 4 aerial images.
Grey level images can be derived from the RGB images by making
an RGB to HSV transformation and using the V channel as a grey level
image. These images have not been included in this data set to reduce
data size.
2. Full photogrammetric and other information on the images.
Transformation parameters from scanner (pixel) to photo (photogrammetric)
coordinate system.
Interior orientation parameters (camera constant, coordinates of
principal point).
Exterior orientation parameters
They were determined by a bundle adjustment and include the position
of perspective centers, rotation matrices and variance-covariance
matrices (i.e. precision estimates) for the parameters of each image.
Time information, latitude and longitude
This information can be used for shape-from-shadow computations.
3. Digital Terrain Models (DTMs)
Data measured manually with a high accuracy photogrammetric instrument
(expected accuracy = 0.1 m). The DTM is in ASCII format with a 10 m grid
spacing. Contour information is contained in DXF- and IGES-format CAD
models.
4. Buildings
Separate DXF and IGES files for the residential and industrial area
contain building roof models. These models are represented in terms of
line entities manually measured by an operator to an expected accuracy
of 0.1 m.
5. Orthophotos
The residential and industrial areas in all 4 images were orthorectified
(terrain-corrected) by using the DTMs. The ground resolution is approx.
equal to the resolution of the original images. The map coordinates of
the orthophotos and the grid spacing are given. These images are not
included in this data set to reduce data size. They can be made
available upon request from {mason,manos}@p.igp.ethz.ch
6. Digital Surface Model (DSM) (only for residential area)
The difference to DTM is that DSM contains the visible surface, i.e.
also 3-D objects not included in the DTM like buildings, trees etc.
The DSM was generated with a commercial photogrammetric system (the
Helava DPW 770) and has a grid spacing of 0.25 m. The DSM is distributed
both in numeric form and as a grey level image.
All images are in Sun Raster format.
The data are in the Vision List Archive in subdirectory
VISION-LIST-ARCHIVE/IMAGERY/PTERRAIN
The file README in this subdirectory contains the text that is
presented here.
The data are in the files dataset.tar.Z(aa), (ab), ....(aj)
After transferring these 10 files you should combine them into one:
cat dataset.tar.Za? > dataset.tar.Z
The file dataset.tar.Z should be 68069591 bytes. The checksum for this
file using the command sum should be:
16521 132949 (ATT System)
24499 66475 (UCB System)
The data in dataset.tar.Z can be unpacked as follows:
uncompress dataset.tar.Z
tar xvf dataset.tar.Z
The size of the uncompressed data is 85 Mbytes. The top directory of the
uncompressed data contains a description of the data set in the file
dataset_descr.ps. NOTE that this file includes the description of all
data, although some of them (grey level images and orthophotos) have not
been included in dataset.tar
If you are using this data, please send us a short email. We are
interested to know by whom and for what purpose this data is being used.
Maintaining a list of the users might better facilitate future exchange
of results and ideas. It will also allow us to notify you of any
corrections or updates to the data set. Finally, please notify us of
any errors or inconsistencies in the data, or if there is something you
think should be included.

Automation Conference at Nagoya, Japan)
Tsukuba KENKYU-SHIEN Center (TCI), Tsukuba, Japan
Robotic technology has successfully been applied in the industrial
sector since the 1960's. Lately, robotic technology has been applied
to wide ranging service tasks such as space exploration, construction,
and health care. This has raised the issues of intelligent control and
sensing, man-machine interface, and human-robot symbiosis.
The theme of the workshop will be the use of advanced robotics and
interface technology to address the challenges faced by human-robot
interaction in the service sector. This technology includes recent
advances in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, parallel and
neurologically inspired computing, active vision, and new actuators
such as artificial muscles.
PARTICIPATION
Control/Communication, and General. The workshop will include parallel
group sessions as well as plenary sessions for inter-group
discussions.
Besides invitees, approximately 60 participants will be accepted on a
first-come first-serve basis. A 10,000 Yen registration fee will be
charged. Participants are invited to submit extended abstracts by
March 31, 1995 and papers by May 5, 1995. The abstracts will be
distributed at the workshop and the proceedings will be mailed within
