Subject: Registration of multiple views of a beating heart

 REQUEST FOR REFERENCES FOR REGISTRATION OF MULTIPLE VIEW OF A 
BEATING HEART.

We are trying to reconstruct the coronary arteries in three
dimension for a live heart. In order to that several views of the
beating heart should be registered correctly.

Any recommendations of books/journal articles would be very much
appreciated.
Please email to the  following address:

FIFTH WORKSHOP ON HUMAN AND MACHINE VISION

Sea Crest Resort,350 Quaker Road, North Falmouth, MA   02556-2903

On June  15,  the  day  following  the  Optical  Society  of
America's  Image  Understanding  and  Machine Vision Topical
Meeting, the Fifth Workshop on Human and Machine Vision will
be  held.  Organized by Jacob Beck of the University of Ore-
gon and Azriel Rosenfeld of the University of Maryland,  the
Workshop  will consist of invited papers on models for human
visual processes.  It will be held in the  Nauset  IV  Room,
Sea Crest Resort, North Falmouth, MA from 8:30 to 4 PM.
The Workshop registration fee is $30.

The following papers will be presented:
``Line Segregation'',  Jacob  Beck,  Azriel  Rosenfeld,  and
     Richard  Ivry,  University  of Oregon and University of
     Maryland.
``Motion  and  Texture  Analysis'',  John  Daugman,  Harvard
     University.
``The Medium is Not the Message  in  Preattentive  Vision'',
     James Enns, University of British Columbia.
``A Neural Network Architecture for Form and Motion  Percep-
     tion'', Stephen Grossberg, Boston University.
``Conservation Laws and the Evolution of  Shape'',  Benjamin
     B.  Kimia,  Allen  Tannenbaum,  and  Steven  W. Zucker,
     McGill University.
``A  Biological  Mechanism  for  Shape  from   Shading   and
     Motion'',  Alexander  Pentland, Massachusetts Institute
     of Technology.

	Prediction of the illuminant's effect on surface color appearance
	
	David H. Brainard

	Changes in the spectral power distribution of the ambient
	illumination change the spectral properties of the light reflected
	from a surface to the eye.  It is commonly believed that the human
	visual system adapts to reduce the change in perceived surface color
	appearance under changes of illumination.  I use a matching paradigm
	to quantify the effects of adaptation to the illuminant on color
	appearance.  My results show that this adaptation serves to reduce
	but not eliminate changes in surface color appearance.
	
	Because there are many possible surfaces and illuminant changes, it
	is not possible to measure directly the effects of adaptation for
	all of them.  I propose using a finite dimensional bi-linear system
	to model the process of adaptation.  This class of model has two
	advantages.  First, it is possible to test whether the model
	describes the data.  Second, to the extent that the model holds, it
	allows prediction of the effects of adaptation on the appearance of
	any surface for any illuminant change.  I present data that test how
	well the bi-linear model describes human performance.

			            Presents

MACHINE VISION -An intensive five-day course for engineers and scientists 
concerned with the theory and application of machine vision.

		July 10-14, 1989 - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Lectures given by Dr. H. Freeman, and a staff of leading experts noted for
their work in the field of machine vision will provide a detailed presentation
of the concepts and techniques used in applying machine vision to industrial
problems. Emphasis will be placed on sensors,illumination techniques, computer
algorithms,hardware requirements, and system considerations.  The material
presented will range from basic techniques to the latest,state-of-the-art
methods. Case studies of actual applications in industry, health care,
surveillance, and the military will be presented.

Registration fee: $895.  Includes all materials, texts, etc. (Discount of 
10% for 3 or more registrants from same organization.)

Course Location:  Hyatt Regency, New Brunswick, N.J.
