Subject: Translator

Following the previous mail, I describe more about our system on request.
The Solid Modelling package we use is RoboSolid Modeller from Robocom
Limited, UK (or Robosystems in some places). 
Models can be built interactively on the screen using mouse. One of the output
files is in the format of SXF, which includes coordinate data of vertex,
facets formed from those vertices and the adjacence of those facets. 
The work I am intending to do starts from the SXF file. I woulde like to
translate the SXF fromat into the internal representation of models in
the model base of our vision system.

I'd like to hear anything about using comercial modelling packages
as the modeller of vision systems.

Thanks a lot.

[ I requested this author post more info about this package. If you know of 
  any other solid modelling packages which you feel could be useful for 
  vision, please post a summary and pointers to the source.

Subject: bibliography requests

Summary: s-mail address needed if you want a copy

Note to all those who requested me a copy of that bibliography:

1) As this bibliography will be copyrighted, I cannot make it available in
electronic form (FTP or anything else). I can only give preprints.

2) My electronic mailer does not transmit paper.

So: no postal address means request not honoured.
