Subject: New format starting in 1991
To keep more compatible with other digests and digestification
software, and to make it easier to refer to past issues, this and
future Vision List digests will include volume and issue numbers. If
you have any problems with this updated format, please contact me
immediately at vision-list-request@ads.com .
Also note that the Vision List is entering its 10th year (it might be
11, but I can't remember exactly in what year I started the list, and
backissues don't go that far back). Since that time, the List has
reached several thousand subscribers. It heartens me to see that the
List is no longer dominated by North America; rather, it has achieved
a large and diverse international distribution and participation.
The rapid growth and prosperity of the Vision List is due solely to
the active and inquisitive participation of each of you. The
increased volume of substantive technical questions has greatly
improved the List, and I hope that 1991 will see a greater technical
emphasis and detail in List submissions.
Happy New Year!

Subject: Information on the Vision List
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.
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. For those of you without
FTP connection, limited backissues may be obtained by mailing your

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!
