Announcing NIH Image V1.44

NIH Image V1.44, including documentation and source code, is now 
available by anonymous ftp from zippy.nimh.nih.gov[128.231.98.32], 
in the directory /pub/image. NIH Image is an image processing and 
analysis application for the Macintosh that is in the public domain. 
It has painting and image manipulation tools, a macro language, 
tools for measuring areas, distances and angles, and for counting 
things. Using a frame grabber card, it can record sequences of 
images to be played back as a movie. It can invoke user-defined 
convolution matrix filters, such as Gaussian. It can import raw 
data in tab-delimited ASCII, or as 1 or 2-byte quantities. It also 
does histograms and even 3-D plots. It is limited to 8-bits/pixel, 
though the 8 bits map into a color lookup table. It runs on any Mac 
that has a 256-color screen and a FPU (or get the NonFPU version 
from zippy.nimh.nih.gov)

Help needed: A Cheapest Configuration of An Active Vision System

I am trying to build a testbed for active vision research. On a long
term, I plan to build an Artificial Insect which has six legs and two
eyes. As the first step, I just want to have one eye and a brain.
Therefore, I need a CCD camera and a microprocessor e.g. Motorola
chip. The CCD camera should be controlled by three motors: two spatial
rotations and one zoom (focus). The CCD camera provides instant input
images to the microprocessor, the instant output of the microprocessor
will be control signals to the motors of CCD camera. My problem is
thus: what is the cheapest configuration of a CCD camera, a
Microprocessor, and three motors that I can simply purchase from shops
or companies ?

The reason for the cheapest configuration is that I plan in the near
future to purchase a large number of these components, give them to
MSc level or above students. Let students build experimental active
vision systems as a basic first-hand practice of computer vision and
artificial life.

Applications of such active vision systems are e.g. human face
recognition, interest moving object following, autonomous
vehicle navigation, etc.


Any help will be highly appreciated.

Subject: New NIST Mated Fingerprint Card Pairs Database

                 National Institute of Standards and Technology
                            announces a new database

                            NIST Special Database 9

         8-Bit Gray Scale Images of Mated Fingerprint Card Pairs (MFCP)


The NIST database of mated fingerprint card pairs will consist of multiple
volumes. Currently five volumes are scheduled to be released. Volumes 1 and
2 have been released and volumes 3-5 will be released at intervals of
approximately one month.  Each volume will be a 3 CD-ROM set with each CD-ROM
containing 90 mated card pairs of segmented 8-bit gray scale fingerprint images
(900 fingerprint image pairs per CD-ROM). Each segmented image is 832 by 768
pixels and classified using the National Crime Information Center (NCIC)
classes given by the FBI. The images are compressed using a modified JPEG
lossless compression algorithm.  Each CD-ROM contains approximately
630-660 Megabytes of data compressed and 1.0-1.2 Gigabytes uncompressed
(1.8 : 1 average compression ratio). The database also includes example
software which was written on a UNIX environment workstation.  The software
is the same code used with NIST Special Database 4.


NIST Special Database 9 has the following features:

	o  Each Volume has 270 mated card pairs of segmented 8-bit gray scale
           fingerprint images.
	o  NCIC classifications given by the FBI.
	o  Cards selected randomly thus approximating a natural horizontal
           slice of the NCIC classifications.
	o  Resolution of approximately 11.0 line pairs per millimeter resolution.           Scanned at 19.6850 pixels per mm.
	o  Image format documentation and example software (written on a
           UNIX environment workstation)
	o  Software is the same code used with NIST Special Database 4.


Suitable for automated fingerprint classification research, the database can
be used for:

	o  algorithm development
	o  system training and testing


The database is a valuable tool for evaluating fingerprint systems using a
statistical sample of fingerprints which approximate a natural horizontal
slice of the NCIC classifications. The system requirements are a CD-ROM drive
with software to read ISO-9660 format and the ability to compile the C source
code, which was written using a SUN C compiler. Cost per volume of the
database: $750.00.

Subject: Re: Commercial Information about FLIR cameras

In comp.ai.vision you write:
>We are interested in getting commercial information about thermal imaging
>sensors or infrared cameras.
>Does anybody know any company who manufacture these products?
>Email: jadiaz@santiago.isdefe.es

   I've been out of the thermal camera field for a few years, but this
is what I recall:  The new high-tech stuff is semiconductor sensors.
These often have to be cooled with liquid nitrogen, and whether they
do or don't they are pretty costly.  The previous generation technology
uses a vacuum-tube sensor called a pyroelectric vidicon.  These have
limitations, but if your application fits within them they can save
you a bundle.  Basically, they suffer from lag so fast moving objects
leave a trail behind them.  Also, they actually sense *change* in IR,
so they need to be fitted with a shutter when viewing a fixed scene.

   I used to work at a company that builds and sells shuttered pyro-
electric vidicon cameras that output NTSC video (I don't know about
PAL & SECAM). The company is called Electrophysics; it is located
somewhere in New Jersey, and the phone # is 800-759-9577.

Subject: Evidence updating in hierarchical synthesis

Dear fellow netters !

I am currently writing my diploma thesis about hierarchical abstraction 
(also known as hierarchical synthesis)
in model based image understanding.

I have already developed a system performing this task, but I want to improve
it significantly by introducing some sort of vagueness/uncertainty/fuzzyness, as
I am never able to expect perfect images due to noise and distortion. 

Can anybody give me some hints about updating evidence (or certainty) in 
hierachical models, preferable in AI- or IP-magazines (due to our poor library),
especially in image processing tasks. I already read some basic works concerning
the usage of Dempster/Shafer-Theory or Bayes-Theory (see my references below),
but I am still not able to "match" that with my image understanding task.

Any help would be appreciated

			===================================
			IEEE WORKSHOP ON QUALITATIVE VISION 
			===================================

			     Monday, June 14, 1993
			Omni Park Central, New York City, NY


WORKSHOP THEME
==============

Understanding,  representing and incorporating  information on  object
qualities from  disparate sources is key to building  more general and
functional computer vision  systems.  Effective representation depends
upon:  
   * object attributes captured by a representation or description
   * the interplay and synthesis of these qualities when multiple
     object descriptions are available
   * the computational aspect of object qualities that participate in
     an effective representation 
   * functional object qualities that guide visual reasoning.

The  goal of  the IEEE  Workshop  on Qualitative  Vision  is to  bring
together  researchers  from  different  disciplines   for  the  active
discussion  of  the  technical  issues  and  problems related  to  the
development of  qualitative vision techniques. This one  day  Workshop
will  be held in New  York City preceding CVPR93. Sessions will be led
by  an  invited  talk,  and  reviewed papers  will  be  discussed  and
published in a Workshop proceedings  distributed by IEEE. Issues to be
discussed include:
   * the synthesis of multiple visual qualities (e.g., perceptual
     grouping, reasoning over disparate sources) 
   * the study of salient features or object qualities (e.g., robust
     features which are invariant under image transformations)  
   * efficient and innovative visual qualities to support purposive
     operations (e.g., as exploited by active vision systems) 
   * discussion of differences between qualitative and reconstructive
     approaches.

STUDENT HOUSING
===============

  There is a limited amount of student housing available on Columbia's campus.
Columbia is located on the #1 subway line making it a short ride to the
conference hotel. More information and directions are available via ftp. 

  Student housing must be paid in advance.  A non-refundable 15% deposit is
DUE BY APRIL 15, AND FULL PAYMENT BY MAY 15.  There is, no ``block'' of rooms,
so their is no guarantee of a room until the deposit is received.  There are
two types of rooms: type-1 which are air conditioned suites with 2 or 4
(separate) bedrooms sharing a a living/dining room with TV, a kitchen and
bathroom/shower), and type-2 which are NOT air conditioned and which have a
bathroom/shower and TV lounge shared by 15-20 rooms.  All student housing is
co-ed. 

The earlier you book the room the better the chance of getting type 1 rooms.
``Grouping" of rooms can be arranged ONLY IF THE REQUESTS are send in the same
package.  If you request type one housing and none is left you should let us
know if you want a type 2 instead (with a refund of the difference) or a full
refund.

This ``student'' housing is available as follows:
	  From -- To 		  Plan 	Type-1    |	Plan    Type-2 
	  3pm -- 10am  		  Code 	 Cost     |	Code 	 Cost  
	  Sat 6/12 -- Sat 6/19 	  A-t1	 $208	  |  	E-t2	 $160  
	  Sat 6/12 -- Fri 6/18 	  B-t1	 $178 	  |	F-t2 	 $137  
	  Sun 6/12 -- Fri 6/18 	  C-t1 	 $148 	  | 	G-t2 	 $115  
	  Mon 6/12 -- Fri 6/18 	  D-t1	 $118 	  | 	H-t2  	  $90 

Send email to cvpr_student_housing@cs.columbia.edu as soon as possible with
your requests.  We reiterate there is no ``block'' of rooms, so their is no
guarantee of a room until the 15% deposit is processed.  Send plan choice and a
check, payable in US dollars to Columbia University, to:
		CVPR Student Housing c/o T. Boult 
		450 Comp. Sci Building 
		Department of Computer Science 
		Columbia University, NYC NY 10027. 
The number of ``student" rooms is rather limited; if you are interested do not
delay, send email today. 


TRAVEL, MISC INFO
=================

There is no ``special'' airline, call your travel agent for best prices.  NYC
is one of the cheapest airline destinations, and it may pay to shop around a
little.  NYC is served by 3 airports: JFK, LaGuardia and Newark (NJ).

There is a shuttle bus (Grayline, Inc.) between the hotel and the area airports
at a cost of $15 (JFK), $12 (LaGuardia) and $17 (Newark).  Book your shuttle
by calling 1-800-451-0455 or (212)315-3006 or calling the hotel and asking for
extension 175.  If you plan to arrive as a group, a discount can be
prearranged.  You can also take a cab, the cost between $25 and $35, can also
be split.  For the really budget conscious, there are bus/subway combinations
which only cost 1-3 dollars, get details via ftp. 

There is a garage right next to the hotel.  A car is not very useful in NYC,
parking is a hassel or is expensive ($\approx$ $10 a day).  Consider using
public transportation if you can, otherwise ftp driving_directions.  

If you are coming from the east coast, don't forget the train, which is
generally cheaper and sometimes more convenient.  Amtrak trains will take you
to 34th st Penn Station NY.  From there take a cab to the hotel or take the #1
or A or C line subway's to 59th street and walk (get a local map via ftp if
you like).  

For those with children, the hotel does not, unfortunately, have a day care
center.  They suggest contacting the Babysitting Guild (212)682-0227, who will
do in-hotel sitting.

If you are interested in theater tickets to a play, a musical, or an opera,
consider booking them now.  Popular times for some shows, e.g Les Miserables
and Phantom of the Opera, are nearly sold-out 3-6 months in advance.  Call the
hotel and ask for the theater desk (x175).  They also book a variety of NYC

Subject: Parallel Vision Algorithms Workshop

            One-day Workshop on Parallelising Vision Algorithms

            Chilworth Manor Conference Centre, Southampton, UK

                            20 May 1993


The richness of information offered by artificial vision makes it an
attractive sensing option for automated systems such as intelligent
autonomous robots, surveillance and monitoring, inspection and
manipulation, and the teleloperation of remote effectors/vehicles in
hostile environments (space, underwater, nuclear, mining...). All of these
tasks demand realtime response from vision, a requirement rarely achievable
with currently available serial processors.

The desire for greater computational performance has encouraged vision
research towards parallelism, particularly the use of transputer arrays.
In bringing together researchers active in the development of these
realtime vision systems with those in parallel processing, we hope not only
to promote the most recent advances in parallelising visual algorithms, but
to increase awareness of the latest developments in concurrent computation
within the vision community.

Presenters drawn from academia and industry will describe the
parallelisation of vision algorithms developed initially for serial
implementation and their transfer to parallel architectures, as well as
algorithms developed specifically for parallelism. An overview of
forthcoming developments in parallel systems and software will also be
included. This one-day workshop is intended to promote interaction between
these two research areas and will close with an informal discussion on the
future potential of parallel vision.
