If you find any, let me know, as I've been looking for such data for YEARS! A couple of years ago, I participated in a Test on Image Matching run by a Working Group of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. They sent a set of 12 image pairs to computational stereo and digital photogrammetry researchers around the world, then evaluated the results that they got back. How did they evaluate them? By sitting a trained photogrammetrist down at a stereoscope, and having him look at them. I asked the organizer of the test for a digital version of the photogrammetrist's "ground truth", but apparently, it wasn't saved. Such is the state of the art! There are a number of data sets around for which there are other stereo algorithms' results available, and some aerial imagery comes with DTMs (some manually derived, some semi-automatically), but there always seems to be one little piece of information missing, which prevents others from using the results for comparison. I keep telling funding agencies that we need them to furnish ground truth, but so far, nothing has been forthcoming.

This model shud be able to generate the usual shapes like spheres, planes n cylinders. Really appreciate if someone has this model or cud refer me to another person. I am using 'C' language implemented on a microVax v4.7. Thanks! Pls email me at umemb57@uk.ac.ic.cc.vaxa TKL ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Mar 91 17:32:31 +0200 From: Giorgos Bebis <bebis@csi.forth.gr> Organization: FORTH - CSI, P.O.Box 1385, Heraklio, Crete, Greece 711 10 Subject: Re: Information needed on computer vision research on reading lips In comp.ai.vision you write: >I'm looking for information regarding computer vision research >in reading lips.

Kamadolli) Organization: Clarkson University Subject: Looking for a database for handwriting recog.! We are developing a neural network for handwritten character recognition and we need a database to train and test our network. Before spending many hours developing our own, does anybody have or know of one we could copy? Please e-mail all replies to : shyam@sun.soe.clarkson.edu Thanx in advance.

I am most interested in X-ray images. I have 8-bit data. Also, what standards exist, if any ? Does hardware exist for this purpose, and on what platforms, Sun's, Mac's, etc. ? Any information regarding this topic would be appreciated. Thanks, John ------------------------------ Date: 27 Mar 91 22:08:36 GMT From: sechang@corp.sun.com (SeChang Oh - Sun Intercon Eng) Subject: Geomed Keywords: Geometric Modelling, Computer Vision Is anyone familar with program call 'Geomed' which is Geometric Modelling for Computer Vision ?? I think this is an old software. I would like to receive a copy of the source if possible. Please respond to me at 'sechang@corp.sun.com' I don't read this mail group. thank you, sechang ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Mar 91 16:05:42 MET DST From: bellutta@irst.it (Paolo Bellutta) Organization: I.R.S.T. 38050 POVO (TRENTO) ITALY Subject: PD medical imaging SW A friend of mine asked me if there is Public Domain SoftWare for cardio-echographic image processing.

I am doing a research on trinocular vision. since I can't get good right-angle trinocular images from our lab, would someone kindly tell me where I can FTP them or send some to me? I would prefer IFF, Sun-Raster, or CXAP formatted images. Thanks in advance!

The focus for the reported work will be on research in artificial intelligence and neural networks. The journal will address issues involving solutions of real-life manufacturing, defense, management, government and industrial problems which are too complex to be solved through conventional approaches and which require the simulation of intelligent thought processes, heuristics, application of knowledge, and distributed and parallel processing. The integration of these multiple approaches in solving complex problems will be of particular importance. The emphasis of the reported work will be on new and original research and technological developments rather than on reports concerning the applications of existing technology to different sets of data. Earlier work reported in these fields has been limited in application and has solved simplified, structured problems which rarely occur in real-life situations. Only recently have researchers in the field started addressing real and complex issues applicable to difficult problems. This journal welcomes these developments and seeks to be a catalyst in disseminating the original research and technological achievements of the international community in these areas. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Knowledge-Based Expert Systems Knowledge Representation Knowledge Acquisition Machine Learning Natural Language Processing Qualitative & Temporal Reasoning Uncertainty Management Qualitative Models Intelligent Database Systems Pattern Recognition Vision Speech Recognition & Synthesis Intelligent Interfaces Knowledge-Based Methodologies Autonomous Systems Real-time Systems Intelligent Manufacturing Sensor Fusion Planning & Scheduling Monitoring & Prediction Analysis & Prediction Decision Making Classification & Recognition Modeling & Design Feature Extraction Robotics &Controls Automatic Tracking System Dependability Neural Net Architectures Neurological Connections Optical Neurocomputers Electrical Neurocomputers Associative Memory Learning Methodologies Self Organization Network Dynamics Adaptive Resonance Combinational Optimization Distributed & Parallel Processing Neural Simulation & Modeling Cooperative & Competitive Processing FOR SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS, CONTACT: Karen S.
