Subject: Paper Reference

Does anyone know where can I get the following paper, it was published
in the 2nd Int'l Symposium on Optical and Electro-Optical Applied Sciences
and Engineering, Cannes, December 1985.

M. Bierling, 'A Differential Displacement Estimation Algorithm with Improved
Stability'.

Or alternatively, if it was published in a more accessible publication.
Thanks in advance! -- G. Eisips

Subject: Help wanted on the implementation of Sugihara's linear programming approach for solving line drawing interpretation.

	I am working on my thesis on the reconstruction of 3D object from
2D line drawing.

	K. Sugihara published a book "Machine Interpretation of Line
Drawings" in 1986, in which he gave a linear programming appraoch to solve the
problem of line drawing interpretation.

	I wonder if anyone has actually implemented his algorithm. If
possible, I'd like to have the code.  If you know the place where I can 
find the code, please let me know.

	Thanks alot.

Subject: Know of public sources for IR imagery?

I am looking for IR imagery.  If you know of any which is publicly
available, please let me know and I will summarize to the List.  (It would be
most helpful if the source of data specified image content, resolution,
format, etc.)

Thanks!
