Subject: Linux has severe graphics card restrictions?
Hi There,
Is there anyone know if Linux can support Pentium??
I bought a Pentium last week, and I install Linux in it.
However I cannot open X-window using Linux.
The reason is my Video Card (Trident 9440) which is not supported by
Linux. They only support Trident 9420 which is for Intel-486 not
for pentium PCI local bus.
If anyone know what should I do, please email me.
Thanks a lot!!

Subject: Jandel's MOCHA Software question
I am considering purchasing Jandel's MOCHA software package. The literature
on http://www.jandel.com is sketchy... Does anyone have any experience using
Mocha? I plan to use it for .GIF, .TIF image file feature extraction for
input to a neural network. If anyone has any comments on this software,
please email me at mkelly@umr.edu. I am especially interested in knowing
all of the features it can extract from an image.
thanks,

Organization: Duke University
Subject: Video data acquisition
Hello all,
Our research group is interested in doing video data acquisition in
our experimentation in nonlinear dynamic systems. Essentially our
setup is a Quadra 840 AV and a Hitachi VHS camera. We have a variety
of simple mechanical systems, such as a pendulum, a cart rolling on a
track, or a ball rolling on a surface. We would like to be able to
generate a time series of the displacement of the object from images
of the object. Being ME's, we have very little experience with image
processing. Any suggestions from the members of this group on how to
proceed - where to start, what software might be useful, etc. would be
greatly appreciated. My e-mail address is kns@me1.egr.duke.edu -
thanks in advance for your help.

PHD STUDENTSHIP
DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS, UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS and BioSS, EDINBURGH
Automatic Matching Of Electrophoretic Gel Images
Using Deformable Templates And Statistical Shape Analysis.
An EPSRC-funded earmarked PhD studentship is available at the University
of Leeds and Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland (BioSS),
formerly the Scottish Agricultural Statistics Service,
Edinburgh. The main objective of the project will be to derive and
assess new methods for automatically identifying and matching objects in
images, where distortions are present. An application matching two
electrophoretic gels (which can be used for identifying malaria strains)
will provide the focus for the work. The project will build on existing
techniques of deformable templates and shape superimposition in a
Bayesian setting.
The student will be jointly supervised by Dr. Ian Dryden (Leeds) and
Dr. Chris Glasbey (BioSS). The student will spend most of his or her
time in Leeds, but there will be regular visits to Edinburgh and
opportunities for longer stays. At Leeds and BioSS there are excellent
computing facilities and good research atmospheres.
The project will last for three years.
The student should have or expect to gain a First or 2.1 honours degree
in Mathematics or Statistics, or alternatively an MSc in Statistics.

Subject: IEEE Workshop on Context Based Vision
The following is the preliminary program for the 1995 IEEE Workshop on
Context-Based Vision. The workshop will be held in conjunction with
the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV'95) on June 19
in Cambridge, MA. Information about registration (May 15 is the
deadline for reduced rates) and accommodation for the workshop has
been previously posted (see postings for ICCV'95), and can be
requested by contacting: gmfitz@mit.edu
IEEE Workshop on Context-Based Vision
This workshop aims to stimulate and exchange research ideas on the use
of context and stored knowledge for the development of reliable
computer vision systems. Most current research on computer vision
seeks automated methods for extracting information from imagery
without the use of a priori information, except perhaps some knowledge
of the image acquisition (camera model, light source, etc). Such
approaches are very general, but have not yet proven capable of coping
with the wide range of variability encountered in real world scenes.
Another school of thought seeks to increase the robustness of computer
vision systems by adopting more restrictive assumptions. The use of
specific prior information about the geometry, photometry, and semantic
constraints in a scene can permit reliable visual understanding by
relatively simple vision algorithms.
There are many applications in which the existence of prior scene
knowledge is readily available or easily obtainable and provides
context for selecting and conditioning computer vision algorithms.
For example:
-- Maps or 3D geometric scene models constrain recognition
and change detection algorithms.
-- Incrementally compiled world maps aid image interpretation
for mobile robots.
-- Anatomical descriptions guide analysis of medical imagery.
-- Manual graphical annotations aid semiautomated computer
vision tasks.
-- Linguistic descriptions of scenes can be used to focus search
The key questions to be discussed at this workshop are:
* What contextual information, if made available beforehand, could
best enhance the reliability of computer vision systems?
* How can computer vision algorithms be designed to best exploit prior
knowledge about a scene?

General
Recent advances in geodetic and photogrammetric measurement systems and the
rapid progress in the area of machine, computer and robot vision have
opened the way to prompt evaluation of digital photogrammetry as the modern
measurement science. The primary function of photogrammetry is to obtain
quantitative data about physical objects or the environment. This includes
methods to accurately and automatically recover 3D properties, such as
coordinates and dimensions, from image. These images are obtained not only
from photo or CCD cameras but also from other sensors. Remote sensing of
terrestrial scenes from satellites and airborne platforms has become
increasingly important in a broad range of applications from intelligence
gathering to environmental monitoring. Earth observation data is already
being collected in huge quantities. The users and potential users of this
information are a diverse community with very different missions. Digital
photogrammetry and geographic information systems (GIS) design are the
basic areas of remote sensing data use. Therefore the conference is
intended to bring together experts and users from the fields of
photogrammetry, machine vision and remote sensing from universities,
industry, governmental organizations and engineering firms, in order to
discuss recent scientific and technical advancements and to study new
applications. The conference intends to discuss the mathematical
techniques, processing algorithms and hardware, new approaches to 3-D
information extraction using images and image sequences, system aspects,
components, integration, user interface, use of GIS and CAD platforms.
Conference Site
The Conference will be held from June 25-30, 1995 on a comfortable river
cruising ship following the route Saint Petersburg - Valaam - Kiji -
Petrozavodsk - Saint Petersburg. This route allows you to combine
scientific work with some spectacular sightseeing activities and pleasant
relaxation. The conference participants can enjoy the beauty of Ladoga and
Onega Lakes, Neva and Svir Rivers, and the ancient Russian architectural
monuments of Kiji and Valaam Islands during the exciting period of the
"White Nights", when the sun does not fully settle down and daylight will
not vanish.
Technical Program
The program will consist of sessions for presented papers and poster
session.
The working language of the conference will be English with possibly a few
contributions in Russian (with translator).
A total of 45 papers will be presented in 8 Technical Sessions and Poster
Session. The Opening of the Conference will feature welcoming addresses of
various authorities. The Closing Session will include a panel discussion,
reviewing scientific, technical, professional and educational matters.

The first international workshop on
KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMS FOR THE (RE)USE OF PROGRAM LIBRARIES
KBUP 95
November 23-24, 1995
Sophia Antipolis
France
OBJECTIVES
==========
Many different libraries of programs have been developed for domains such as
signal processing, image processing, scientific computing, and process
control. These libraries consist of a large number of programs. The
programs are typically written by specialists of a particular domain, and
later applied by non-specialists in this domain. Recently artificial
intelligence techniques have been developed to aid a non-specialist with the
application of the programs in different contexts. This aid can range from an
advisory guide up to fully automatic program monitoring systems.
The purpose of the workshop is to identify the current state of the art in
the domain of knowledge-based systems for the reuse of program libraries,
to present the most recent advances, and to identify the open problems. We
are interested in exchanging research ideas and results which will
contribute to the academic arena, but also in ideas that will benefit the
industrial community in the foreseeable future.
The first international workshop on knowledge-based systems for the reuse
of program libraries will be held at INRIA Sophia Antipolis located on the
French Riviera. The number of participants will be limited to 75 persons.
