Subject: New imagery added to the Vision List archive
You can freely use and distribute this sequence of calibrated images as is, as
long as you mention that the images were acquired by the Laboratory IRISA,
Rennes, France for the project ORASIS.
The files *.Z are comressed and should be uncompressed using the utility
uncompress.
The file PEAR_CUP contains a description of the model of the camera, of the
references frames, and the 26 positions and orientations in homogeneous
coordinates.
(<3x3 Rotation matrix> <Translation column vector>)
Enjoy,
If you had any question about this sequence please contact me at:
arbogast@lifia.imag.fr
or if it fails contact Francois Chaumette from IRISA who actually took the
images:

Subject: Eng Drawing Analysis Commercial Packages
Keywords: drawing analysis
Since the algorithms for line drawing analysis such as thinning,
vectorization, or others, are pretty established, I suppose that there
are commercial packages for engineering drawing scanning and
processing. Anybody has information about this? If you do, would you
please email it to me [and post it to the List]? My email address is
yuhong@hoss.unl.edu
Thanks.

Subject: References needed about evolution of vision
Hi fellow visioners,
I'm interested in the visual capabilities of animals under an
evolutionary perspective. How did the visual sense progress over the
course of evolution? What new behaviors and tasks did it enable?
Consider, e.g., the segmentation of the visual array into objects by
using not motion, but texture or color or simplicity of shape (a
transitional step that would assume a module model of vision). When
did this capability arise in evolution? Why did it arise, i.e., what
did the new capability let the animal do that it could not do before?
Has anybody come across references in this direction? I'd be very
grateful for any pointers and will post a summary if anything turns
up. Please send email to cahn@grip.cis.upenn.edu.
Thanks in advance,
-Ulf Cahn von Seelen

Subject: 2D image to 3D model conversion
I'm interested in references to articles/books/programs/scientists etc
concerning creating 3D models from a *single* (i.e. *not* stereoscopic
images) 2D image. An image compression scientist told me he saw such a
program demonstrated but cannot remember who presented it.
Thanks in advance!

Subject: CAT for 3D metal component scanning?
Dear vision-list,
I am interested in using computer tomography (CAT) scanning for
acquiring 3D information on metal components. Is anyone
aware of research proceeding in this area? All replies will be
collated and posted to the net.

Subject: PCB product modelling (for pcb inspection using machine vision)
Dear Fellow Computer Visionists :
I am undertaking a research into the applications of machine
vision systems in printed circuit board (pcb) manufacture industry.
My interest is in the use of pcb product models, which should
(as expected) hold adequate information (e.g. from CAD/CAM stations)
describing such a pcb product, for the inspection of pcb products using
machine vision systems (e.g. automatic optical inspection --AOI--
systems)
Therefore I would like to know the recent papers on the issue of
pcb product modelling. I have noticed the 'conceptual model of pcb layout'
proposed by the EDIF PCB STC, and therfore would very much like to
here any other proposals and result of research on this issue.
Any pointers to papers are welcome. If you have any information,
please do e-mail me on: J.B.Zhang@lut.ac.uk .
Thanks in advance,
Jing B Zhang
p.s. I'd be happy to post a summary of the result, if requested.

Subject: References on image identification
Keywords: image recognition, image scanning
The CSIRO Division of Plant Industry is wrapping up a project which
included the development of a computer system which uses an AI
system and large database to identify rainforest species.
With this work nearing publication, the authors are planning
a new system which utilizes scanning and image recognition of
leaf shapes to aid in plant identification.
Can anyone recommend any publications or articles which might be
useful as a starting point for the development of a leaf identification
system?
Thanks in advance,

The subject line says it all. I'm looking for information on macintosh
