Subject: Paper Needs .......!!! (Urgent)
Organization: San Diego State University Computing Services

Hello folks,
I am urgently looking for a paper which has just presented at : International
  conf. on Automation, robotics, and computer vision, the conf. was held
  in Singapore Sept 18 - 21, 1990.  The paper I am looking for is:

	Title : Recongition of cursive writing - a method of segmentation
		of word into characters.
	Arthors: M. Leroux and J.C. Salome.

  I will be greatly appreciate if anyone who can send me a copy or tell
  me where I can get hold of the paper.

PS. 
  Special thanks to Dr. M. Atiquzzaman (Department of Electrical Engineering)
  from King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (Saudi Arabia), who
  has passed that information to me.


  Thanks in advance..

  Please Send me E-mail at:
   brian@ucselx.sdsu.edu
   brian@cs.sdsu.edu

Does anyone know of any references on finding the "length of a line"
using the Hough Transform ?

Thanks,

Subject: Vision research in Estonia.

I am planning a visit to Tallinn, Estonia.  While there, I would
like to make contact with anyone interested in computer vision.
I'm not even sure where to look.  Any pointers to people, or even
institutions, who are interested in vision would be greatly 
appreciated.
