Subject: Vision List access via COMP.AI.VISION newsgroup
This Special Vision List Digest issue is to bring to your attention
that the Vision List is available through the COMP.AI.VISION
newsgroup. Please note the updated information above the "Today's Topics"
line.
If you do not currently receive the Vision List via the COMP.AI.VISION
newsgroup, and it is available to you at your site, please take a few
minutes to switch to the newsgroup and notify me at
Vision-List-Request@ADS.com . An inquiry to the postmasters at the
sites on my master List showed that almost *ALL* of you have access to
the List via the COMP.AI.VISION newsgroup.
Reasons to use the COMP.AI.VISION newsgroup:
1) Significantly reduces network traffic.
2) Provides you with recent backissues at your local site.
3) Reduces moderator (my!) workload devoted debugging bad pathnames,
down hosts, making changes, end-of-school-year-user-disappearances,
etc.
4) It's the "right thing to do."
Reason to ignore this message:
1) Your site does not have the COMP.AI.VISION newsgroup and your
system administrator swears that it is not feasible to install.
Stinky reasons for not using the COMP.AI.VISION newsgroup:
1) You hate your local newsgroup reader program (e.g., 'rn').
2) You love the personal service of being on the master Vision List.
3) You don't get a lot of email, and you wait all week for the List.
Your switching to the COMP.AI.VISION newsgroup is voluntary, but it would
greatly help me out and make things work much better.

Subject: Vision List information
The INTERNET host site for the Vision List is Vision-List@ADS.COM for
list contributions and Vision-List-Request@ADS.COM for undistributed
correspondence. The Vision List is also distributed as the
COMP.AI.VISION newsgroup.
As the moderator, I am interested in stimulating exchanges on research
and other topics of significance to the vision community. Here is
some information which describes the List and related services.
* PLEASE check to see if you have access to the Vision List via the
* comp.ai.vision newsgroup. If you do, please access the List via the
* newsgroup feed and let me know so that I can remove you from the master
* List. This greatly reduces required net bandwidth and makes things easier.
REQUESTS
If you have problems sending messages to the list, questions about
technical details of the list distribution, or the like, send mail to
Vision-List-Request@ADS.COM and we will respond personally to your
query.
PLEASE DO NOT send your request to be added to/deleted from the list
to Vision-List@ADS.COM. If you do, it may be automatically
redistributed as an article and appear in thousands of mailboxes around
the world. Always send these requests to the -Request address.
SUBMISSIONS & RELEASE FORMAT
To submit an article to Vision-List, simply send it to:
Vision-List@ADS.COM
Submissions to the list are currently being delivered in a single
batch mailing about once a week and more often as needed. Caution:
the list moderator does not always edit the incoming messages before
they are redistributed. During those weeks, everything operates
automatically, with the attendant advantages and pitfalls. (If you
fall into one of those pits, please send me mail at
Vision-List-Request and we'll do our best to fix things up.)
The following details may help you in formatting and choosing
appropriate titles for your list submissions. Within a single release
of Vision-List, the format consists of an initial identifying header,
a list of topics covered in that release, and then each message
separated by dashed lines (please avoid the use of dashed lines
starting in column 1 in your submissions: they play havoc with most
autodigesters in the networld). Most of the header information is
automatically removed from each submission at release time. When the
software is working correctly, only "Date:", "From:", and "Subject:"
appear.
ARCHIVES & SERVICES
Backissues of the Vision List Digest and some public domain software
and imagery is available via anonymous FTP.
To access the Vision List archives from anonymous FTP:
1) FTP to ADS.COM (use 128.229.30.16 if this doesn't work)
2) Login name is ANONYMOUS
3) Once you're logged on, change directory (cd) to
pub/VISION-LIST-ARCHIVE
* Backissues of the Vision List Digest may be found in
pub/VISION-LIST-ARCHIVE/BACKISSUES
* Azriel Rosenfeld's Computer Vision bibliographies from 1984-present

** ** ** ** ** **
The list is intended to embrace discussion on a wide range of vision
topics, including physiological theory, computer vision, machine
vision and image processing algorithms, vision techniques to support
robot navigation and spatial representation, artificial intelligence
and neural network techniques applied to vision, industrial
applications, robotic eyes, implemented systems, ideas, profound
thoughts -- anything related to vision and its automation is fair
game.
For those wishing to contribute to the archives with shareware,
imagery, or other good stuff of general interest to the community,
please contact me at Vision-List-Request@ADS.COM .
I hope you enjoy Vision-List!
