Next week, the Vision List host site (Advanced Decision Systems) will
be shifting from the ARPANET (officially dead on April 1st) to BARNET
([San Francisco] Bay Area Research NETwork).  All addresses remain the
same, though there may be a short interruption of service.  If you have
any problems, please let me know ASAP at Vision-List-Request@ADS.COM .

Theretically, the changeover will not disturb service.  (Sure, and 
Bears use outhouses...)

Subject: texture data: synthetic and real.

greetings all,

               I am interested in texture segmentation and would like to 
        test out some algorithms. For these purposes I would like to know
        if anyone has any source programs for generating different types
        of textured regions. Ideally I would like a paint-like program so
        that I could construct arbitary shaped regions whose internal
        texture parameters (local density, orientation etc) are well 
        defined. 

        I know of the Brodatz album of textures but does a standard
        digitised database version of this exist or does everyone have 
        their own version taken by pointing their own camera at the
        pictures in the album??

        I would appreciate any advice on these matters, many thanks
