I am getting started on a Master's Thesis in the general
area of Computer Vision. Since [...] vision and AI appear
to overlap considerably, I'm trying AIList. I apologize if
this is not an appropriate medium for the following request.
I would sincerely appreciate any pointers to literature and
current research in this area and particularly in the area
of stereo vision. I have Computer Vision by Ballard &
Brown, the vision section of the Handbook of AI, Image
Understanding 1984, Ullman & Richards, eds. and a few
papers that I've found.
What are the current hot research areas in this field?
What, in your opinion, are the most important problems to be
solved? What, aside from stereopsis and range-finding are
options for depth-information recovery? What, currently,
appears to be the best method of obtaining this information
fast enough to be useful?
Is any research being directed at the possibility of real-
time stereo vision? What are your opinions of its feasibil-
ity? Its value?
If any of you have papers that you would be willing to
share, my mailing address is:

Opinions are welcome and please also mention if I may quote
you or if you prefer that I don't. I would also welcome
suggestions for other lists where it may make sense to make
this request. [Vision-List@ADS is known. --KIL]
While I try to follow the network as time permits, I would
appreciate it if you could mail information to me by way of
one of the paths in my signature.
I will happily summarize any information that I receive and
post it to AIList.

[I generally forward vision items to Vision-List (and did this time),
but am permitting this message as a favor to Charlie. AI-related
discussion of vision (e.g., for autonomous navigation) is pertinent
to this list, but discussion of particular algorithms would generally
not be. -- KIL]
