I plan on making them available to all via the vision-list FTP site (disk space permitting). Send pointers and packages themselves to johnston@ads.com (not vision-list@ads.com). Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 3D-glasses Date: Thu, 11 Jan 90 01:17:23 EST From: Edward Vielmetti Here's a pointer to info on the Sega 3D glasses. --Ed ------- Forwarded Message From: jmunkki@kampi.hut.fi (Juri Munkki) Subject: [comp.sys.mac.hardware...] Sega 3D glasses document fix 1.2 Date: 8 Jan 90 20:16:53 GMT Followup-To: comp.sys.mac.hardware Approved: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) This is patch 1.2 of the Sega 3D glasses interface document. It supersedes versions 0.9, 1.0 and 1.1 of the document. Version 1.2 is available with anonymous ftp from vega.hut.fi [130.233.200.42]. pub/mac/finnish/sega3d/ Version 0.9 and 1.0 of the document have the TxD+ and TxD- pins reversed. This causes problems only with my demo software and can be noticed easily, because both lenses show the same image. Fix this problem by pulling out the TxD+ and TxD- pins from the miniDIN connector, swap them and push back in. Version 1.1 (which is what you have after you make the previous change) has the tip and center of the glasses connector switched. Again this doesn't cause any problems unless you use the demo software. The spiro and Macintosh demos will clearly be inside the screen and their perspectives will look wrong. To fix the problem resolder the connector or change the software to swap the meanings of left and right. If you intend to write for the glasses, it might be a good idea to include an option to switch left and right.

In particular, I am looking for an algorithm that can be implemented in hardware that makes only one pass through the image in scan-line order and reports several simple component features such as component extent (Minimum and Maximum X and Y coordinates) and the number of foreground pixels in the component. The project I am on is planning to design and develop custom image analysis hardware to do this. We have developed an algorithm locally and was wondering if somebody else has an easier method. I know about the LSI Logic "Object Contour Tracer Chip" but this chip appears to be too powerful (and slow) for this application. I had found some papers by Gleason and Agin dated about 10 years ago but could not find the exact details of their algorithm. Does anybody else have a need for such hardware? Any help or pointers on locating such an algorithm would be appreciated.

It is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. THE PROGRAM The program will consist of high quality contributed papers on all aspects of computer vision. All papers will be refereed by the members of the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be presented as long papers in a single track or as short pa- pers in two parallel tracks. PROGRAM COMMITTEE The Program Committee consists of thirty prominent members representing all major facets of computer vision. PAPER SUBMISSION Authors should submit four copies of their papers to Saburo Tsuji at the address shown below by April 30, 1990. Papers must con- tain major new research contributions. All papers will be re- viewed using a double-blind procedure, implying that the identi- ties of the authors will not be known to the reviewers. To make this possible, two title pages should be included, but only one containing the names and addresses of the authors; the title page with the names and addresses of the authors will be removed prior to the review process. Both title pages should contain the title of the paper and a short (less than 200 words) abstract. Au- thors must restrict the lengths of their papers to 30 pages; that length should include everything, meaning the title pages, texts (double-spaced), figures, bibliography, etc. Authors will be no- tified of acceptance by mid-July. Final camera-ready papers, typed on special forms, will be due mid-August. Send To: Saburo Tsuji, Osaka University, Department of Control Engineering, Toyonaka, Osaka 560, Japan.
