Subject: Hun(?)-Yeh-Harwood paper
I am trying to locate a paper by Hun (spelling may be off) Yeh and
Harwood that I believe contains a method for locating a planar object
using monocular vision.
I had the paper at one time, but it and any references to it seem to
have vanished... I checked the Rosenfeld bibliographies but I didn't see
it there.
If you do know where I might find it could you please email the
information--I need to get started soon...

Subject: Getting accounts on the UMIACS Parallel Processing machines
Organization: University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies
A little while ago an announcement was made regarding the
availability of University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer
Studies (UMIACS) Parallel Processing Lab resources. Since then, many people
have shown interest in gaining access to these resources. Below, you will
find a brief summary of what must be submitted to get accounts and start
using the lab's machines. More information than what is summarized below
may be required of you depending on your specific needs (disk space,
reserved time on a given machine, how many users from one site, etc.).
To get an account on machines within the UMIACS Parallel Processing
Lab, you must submit a brief abstract of the project for which you wish to
use the machines in the lab along with a list of those who will be working
on the project and those that need accounts. You must submit this request
to Mitch Murphy (the Parallel Processing Lab Manager) at the following
address mitch@umiacs.umd.edu.
As stated in the previous article, the UMIACS Parallel Processing
Lab currently operates a 16k Connection Machine and a BBN Butterfly Machine,
with hopes of acquiring other architectures in the future.
We are currently putting together a detailed document describing the
facilities of the Lab and will make it available via anonymous ftp from
ftp.umiacs.umd.edu. A list of abstracts of all the current projects in the
lab is also being assembled and will be made available via anonymous ftp
from ftp.umiacs.umd.edu. Please note that if you wish to apply for an
account on any of the lab's machines, and do *not* wish to be included in
the abstract list that is to be made available, please let us know. If you
do so, we will not place your project in the list.
Lastly, we ask that you circulate the availability of the UMIACS
Parallel Processing Lab resources to anyone you think might be interested
and might benefit from the use of the lab. Please direct any questions you
may have to either curtiss@umiacs.umd.edu or mitch@umiacs.umd.edu.

rate is $110 for single and double occupancy ($25 for each additional person),
some $50-90 lower than the lowest rates on this resort. The rate is good
from MAY 30 until JUNE 10 (12 days). Somewhat cheaper rates may be available
in Lahaina, which is about 7-10 miles south on Kaanapali resort, but I do not
think it is enough to make it worth the inconvenience of driving, parking,
etc.).
(MY SUGGESTION: Pick Mariott on Kaanapali resort. Kaanapali is THE PRIME resort
location in Hawaii, and the rate is great for this resort. This would be a
memorable trip.)
Air:
There are two airports in Maui, the INTERNATIONAL and WEST MAUI airports.
The first is within 30 minutes of the MARIOTT HOTEL. The seond is within
3 miles (about 10 minutes). Ther are free shuttle buses from and to the
hotels and WEST MAUI airport (so you do not need to take a cab or rent
a car, if you do not wish to do so). The trip from MAUI INTERNATIONAL
to MARIOTT could get bad if there is a traffic jam (created by the
tourists who stop abruptly to take pictures and may cause an accident),
since you drive on a two-lane "high-way".
Both AMERICAN and UNITED airlines fly directly (from LA, Chicago, or Dallas)
to MAUI INTERNATIONAL without stopping in HONOLULU first. You can save some
time and/or money this way. If you need to go to other islands later, you can
catch an inter-island flight on HAWAIIAN and ALOHA from MAUI. There are good
OVERNIGHTER packages (AIR+CAR+HOTEL) for about $120 single/$200 double, and
about $80 for extra day of HOTEL+CAR. These are only available once you get
in Hawaii, and available through mainland Travel agencies. Travel Partners
(see below) can help you on these.
HAWAIIAN and ALOHA airlines have flights from HONOLULU to WEST MAUI airport.
Since this is a private airport, the last flight leaves HONOLULU about 4:30pm
because of residential restrictions (I assume). You also have to pay
about $100 additional for this portion of your flight (If you fly on
AMERICAN or UNITED, the fare is the same to MAUI International or HONOLULU).
We have established some discounts (5% from discounted and 40% from regular
fares on both UNITED and AMERICAN) through TRAVEL PARTNERS Agency in
Honolulu (Ask for Theo, who knows about our arrangments). Their number is
(808) 735-6422. They also have a toll free number, (800) 933-7677, that you
can use, but I was told that the arrangement for using that phone will be a
bit inconvenient (to both you and them). They can make the flight arrangements
as well as send you your tickets via federal express.
Rental Car:
Also, we have got good rates on HERTZ RENT A CAR from both MAUI airports
(West MAUI may be slightly higher). We expect to get similar rates from AVIS
and BUDGET in the next few days (if you are the member of their clubs). You
just need to mention the conference name when making the reservation. They
prefer 6 weeks advanced reservation, but the rates are available even as late
as when you arrive at the airport. AGAIN, do your booking EARLY since you
may not get the car you want if you wait till the last minute. You can always
make changes later. These rates, which are good from a week prior to until a
week after the conference dates, are as follows:
CAR DAILY WEEKLY
Economy 24.80 98.80
Compact 26.80 108.80
Intermediate 30.80 138.80
Standard 34.80 148.80
Full Size 37.80 178.80
Sometimes rental car companies in HAWAII run promotional rates. If they
happen to have one at the time of the conference, they will give you the
better of our GROUP RATE or their PROMOTIONAL RATE.
Other cars, such as convertibles or sports cars, are available if you
ask them.

Subject: Reply to "Re: Visualization '91 Meeting Annoncement" (03/04/91 15:57:
[ I asked the relevance of this posting to the Vision List readership.
The following is the reply and conference posting. phil... ]
Visualization is different things to different people. Last year at
Visualization '90 meeting, there were papers on image processing
algorithms (the input could be images and the algorithms could be
histogram equalization and volume rendering), different aspects of the
physiology of visual perception (e.g., color, texture, and shape), and
other issues relevant to computer vision. Therefore, I feel that a
good number of your subscribers might be interested in attending
Visualization '91 (I am an "image processor" myself). I would
appreciate receiving your comments on these matters. * * Nahum

Subject: AI genealogy
As part of a graduate AI class, I will be working on a semantic network
type of database to answer qeustions about the genealogy of the AI
family of researchers. The more family members we have, the better.
We would like for everyone who has written a thesis in the area of AI
to be in the genealogy.
Minsky, McCarthy, Simon, Newell and other participents in the Dartmouth
conference are to be the patriarchs. Although they obviously decended
from lower order life forms we will not be concerning ourselves with
"missing links."
To begin we would like to have a complete list of all the participants
in the Dartmouth conference. This doesn't seem to be a trivial task.
We would greatly appreciate any help in compiling this list. We are
hoping that some of the people reading this group either participated
in the conference or had a thesis advisor or grand-advisor or
great-grand-advisor that they know for sure was at the conference.
We would also like to have lots of people supply us with their
genealogy to help us come up with a complete family tree. It should be
interesting to find out where all of you are in the tree. The
professor for this class is only two generations away from Simon
through one of his committee members and he didn't even know it until
he started doing this research.
Please take the time to fill out this form so that we can place you in
the AI family tree. The end product will be a system called BIBLIO
which will be put into the public domain. BIBLIO will be a
bibliographic database augmented with "cultural" information. We
believe that this will help us characterize important intellecutal
developments within AI. Of course, we will be able to do regular
familty tree type operations with the data such as printing out the
family tree and stuff like that.
Also, if you know some of these facts about your advisor (committee
members), and their advisors, etc., I would appreciate it if you could
send me that information as well. One of our goals is to trace the
genealogy of today's researchers back as far as possible. If you do
have any of this information, simply duplicate the questionnaire and
fill in a separate copy for each person.
