Subject: Re: MRF parameters

I have a paper on generating MRF parameters from a class of high level
models - SUNY Buffalo Computer Science TR89-3 The Ergodic Mondrian
Model - a source of Markov Random Fields.  I have another paper almost
finished on generating MRF's from a more sophisticated model but I
need to finish the code for generating the fields first.  I also have
a paper in the 6th Israeli conference on AI, Computer Vision and
Pattern Recognition, on generating MRF's for object location from
hierarchical object descriptions - TR 89-06: Generating Object
Location systems from complex object descriptions.

At the University of Rochester Mike Swain has developed a system for
estimating MRF's on observed evidence.  This work is soon to appear as
a book chapter.  I suggest you get in touch with him at
swain@cs.rochester.edu .

Subject: Unmanned Vehicle Data

We are developing obstacle detection algorithms based on passive sensors and
we are looking for data (either digital or videotape) from unmanned vehicle
(or similar) test runs for algorithm development and testing. The primary
requirement is that the image sequences be taken from a moving sensor and
obstacles should be visible, we do not necessarily need ground truth.

          Thanks for any help,
                Gary Whitten

Subject: Motion Workshop - Call for Papers

Preliminary Call for Papers:

                      IEEE WORKSHOP ON VISUAL MOTION

                        Princeton, New Jesey, USA
                           October 6-9, 1991

The workshop will cover basic research topics and application areas in
computer analysis of image motion.

         General Chair:    Tom Huang
         Program Co-Chair: Ted Adelson
                           Peter Burt

Paper Submission: Please submit 4 copies of full papers to reach the program
chairman by April 1, 1991. Papers should not exceed 25 pages. Send papers to:

                           Peter Burt
                           David Sarnoff Research Center
                           201 Washington Rd.
                           Princeton, NJ 08540, USA
                           burt@vision.sarnoff.com

A database of image sequences is being collected for general use by
participants in the workshop. Participants are encouraged to use sequences
from this database to enable comparison of results at the workshop.
The image database is located at host ads.com, and can be accessd by 
anonymous FTP at directory pub/motion. Further information on the database can
be obtained from Rajesh Hingorani, (609) 734-2967, rh@vision.sarnoff.com.

Subject: CVNet- Postdoctoral Position

Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in human visual perception
Laboratory of Experimental Psychology
University of Sussex, UK.

A post-doctoral position will be available from October 1st (start date
negotiable) funded by a two-year grant from the Medical Research Council.
The project will investigate the spatiotemporal properties of low-level
motion processes in the human visual system, using computer-generated displays
(random dot kinematograms). Applicants should have a background  in
psychophysics and experience in computer programming.

Please contact:

Dr.George Mather,
Laboratory of Experimental Psychology,
University of Sussex,
Brighton BN1 9QG UK.
