Subject: Public Domain Skeletonization Software
Dear Colleagues,
I have prepared a first public domain release of my
skeletonization algorithms. The package can be fetched
through access to my WWW homepage, URL =
http://hrl.harvard.edu/people/postdocs/rlo.html or from
our FTP server ftp.hrl.harvard.edu.
The software is still undergoing revision and it
unequivocally represents an experimental version. Parts
of the software have been completed just a couple of weeks
ago. However, I believe that further improvement and
development of the algorithms will substantially benefit
from the feedback provided by other users. I am looking
forward to receiving any kind of suggestions or comments
on this software.
WHAT IS IN THE PACKAGE ?
========================
My software package contains programs which compute robust
Euclidean skeletons from binary images (or, optionally,
from user-defined contour data). This goal is achieved by
a small set of routines which perform the following
subtasks:
* extraction of a boundary representation (polygonal
chain) from a binary image -> program "ctran". Several
image formats are supported, including GIF, TIFF, Sun
Rasterfile, and JPEG.
* generation of the Voronoi diagram of the vertices of the
polygonal chain (thus approximating the continuous medial
axis) -> program "voro"
* extraction of a stable subset of the Voronoi diagram (the
Voronoi skeleton). Different pruning techniques have
been implemented. The simplest methods exploit saliency
measures applied to each component of the Voronoi
diagram and apply a simple threshold operation to
extract the skeleton. More sophisticated techniques
establish a hierarchic organization of skeleton branches
(Skeleton Pyramid). Also a novel method of automatic
skeletonization is provided. This technique permits to
extract a `first order' or `main' medial axis which
captures the most significant components of a
shape. Skeleton branches associated with detail features
are grouped at lower levels of the hierarchy. This
latest method (based on the so-called Skeleton-Space)
does not require any human supervision -> program
"prune"
* compilation of the extracted skeleton data into a symbolic
data structure which can be edited and modified with any
standard editor (Skeleton-Set). Parser routines
including a sample program are provided for reading back
skeleton data from file into machine memory -> program
"loadskset"
* simple visualization routines for the display of boundary,
Voronoi tessellation, and skeleton data -> program
"shosk" Optionally, data can be converted into a
Postscript file readable by 'idraw', the InterViews
drawing editor.
* (Limited) support for AVS and KHOROS.

Subject: Combining motion estimates
Hello,
I am interested in computing the trajectory and the velocity parameters
of objects moving in the camera field of view. I have several
measures/estimates of the motion parameters, extracted through different
methods. I am interested in combining these estimates in order to obtain a
"combined-estimate" which is closer to the "real values".
So far, I have found the following papers that seem relevant to this problem:
- "Combining estimators using non-constant weighting functions",
by V. Tresp and M. Taniguchi, Advances in Neural Information
Processing Systems 7, MIT Press, 1995.
- "Multitarget-Multisensor Tracking: Advanced Applications", editor
Bar-Shalom, Artech House, 1990.
- "Optimal linear combination of neural networks",
Sh. Hashem, Ph.D. thesis, Purdue University, 1993.
Could anyone please give me any other pointers or suggest alternative
approaches that possibly use non-constant weighting functions?
Thank you a lot.

Subject: Statement of Producer's vs. Consumer's Risk
Summary: Question on p. 234 of Newman and Jain "Survey"
Keywords: Automated visual inspection, performance metrics
Subject: Statement of Producer's Risk vs. Consumer's Risk
I'm confused by some statements describing conditional probabilities
reported in the recently published survey,
T.S.Newman, A.K.Jain, "A survey of automated visual
[1] inspection", Computer Vision and Image Understanding,
61(2), March 1995, 231-262,
in part presents the outcome of an inspection of a part in terms of a
statistical hypothesis test and "producer's risk" versus "consumer's risk".
(See first starting paragraph on page 234 of the text, beginning with
"Sampling can be formally defined as....") It goes on to define
i. "Producer's risk" as "the risk associated with a lot of batch of
good quality that is mistakenly rejected...," and later
identifies this as Type I error, a kind of error of false alarm,
and
ii. "Consumer's risk" as "the chance of mistakenly accepting a lot
of poor quality...," and later identifies this as a Type II
error, a kind of failure to detect.
Then at the bottom of page 237, and continuing on page 238, Newman and Jain
cite
S.Olympieff, J.C.Pineda, and P.Horaud, "The use of vision for
[2] industrial inspection", Proc. 6th Intl. Conf. on Automated
Inspection and Product Control, Birmingham, UK, 1982, pp. 179-190
to justify the statement
"[Olympieff, et. al.'s] ...system operated at a speed of approxi-
mately 5 s per insepction and reduced consumer's risk from 0.5%
for manual inspection to 0.05%."
O.K., here's my question, asked in a full paragraph, and
translating the statements from Newman and Jain into strictly statistical
terms:
(1) Given the analogy with hypothesis testing, taking the null
hypothesis to be that the part "...is [actually] acceptable", a
producer's risk is defined as the likelihood the two-sided test
will yield a determination in excess of the threshold of
acceptance merely due to random fluctuations _given_ _that_ _the_
_part_ _is_ _in_ _fact_ _perfect_.
(2) A consumer's risk is defined as the likelihood the (still two-
sided) test will yield a determination that judges the part
acceptable given that the part is in fact flawed in excess of
some tolerance.
(3) Now, the twenty-five shekel question: _What_ _is_ _used_ _for_
_the_ _alternative_ _hypothesis_ _here_? That is, it seems
there should be any one of a number of possible actual flaw
sizes, each one resulting in a different value for "consumer's
risk". Which one is it?
Now, consider the possibilities.
I can buy the stretch of the meaning of "null hypothesis" used in
the definition of producer's risk. It seems reasonable to model that
dispersion as being distributed about some "zero flaw size" or nominal
parameter or quality value, even if we know there will be some nonzero sized
flaw. But "consumer's risk" is a muddle.
"Consumer's risk" doesn't seem to have a meaning unless some
specific sized flaw is used as the alternative (hypothesis). Otherwise,
there isn't a particular_value_ for consumer's risk, there's a _function_
which describes consumer's risk, a function taking the size or nature of the
flaw as a parameter. But, in that circumstance either Newman and Jain quote
[2] incompletely, or the authors of [2] failed to specify the alternative as
well. I haven't been able to find a copy of [2] to check.
I don't know how widespread this practice of quoting changes in
consumer's risk is in the visual inspection biz. I don't want to unfairly
criticize Newman and Jain who did a wonderful job putting all that material
so handily together. And I don't want to criticize the work of [2] without
even giving it a read, but I fear I may be misunderstanding the way
"consumer's risk" is conventionally interpreted by those working visual
inspection. Moreover, the result of [2] is a nice number to quote when
presenting possible benefits of automatic inspection.
So I ask.
Anyone have any ideas? Failing that, does anyone have e-mail
addresses for Newman, Jain, Olympieff, Pineda, or Horaud?
Thanks,
JT

Call for Papers
First International Conference on Visual Information Systems
VISUAL '96
5-6 February 1996
Melbourne, Victoria
AUSTRALIA
Aims and Scope
With the widespread use of multimedia information, there is a pressing
requirement to efficiently manage, store, manipulate and retrieve images
and pictorial data in a wide spectrum of applications. As many organisations
currently maintain large collections of images, the need for flexible visual
information management is already critical. Future information systems in
commercial and scientific applications will have a high visual content, and
it is necessary to integrate the visual and image components into the
architecture of organisational information systems. Such visual components
will tend to permeate all information systems and in time will not be regarded
as a distinct element, but will form an essential part of any information
system, working alongside and in harmony with structured information
processing components. The conference will focus attention on the management
of visual information and will include, but is not restricted to, the
following topics:
* Architecture of visual information systems
* Data modelling for visual information systems
* Memory organisation and management
* Feature recognition and extraction
* Feature and content indexing
* Picture description and representation languages
* Query model and paradigms for visual information
* Query language for visual information retrieval
* Content-based search and retrieval
* Integration of visual and non-visual information
* Compression and delivery of visual information
* Image processing and manipulation
* Parallel processing in visual information systems
* Specific applications areas of visual information systems
Both work in progress as well as fully developed systems will be of interest
to the conference.
