Info Wanted: Vision Chip/Hardware Manufacturers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 10 Aug 90 9:27:10 MET DST From: bellutta@irst.it (Paolo Bellutta) Subject: small camera lens Where I could find a source for small lenses for a CCD camera? The lenses should be small enough to be glued directly on the CCD chip. I was thinking to the lenses mounted on the disposable cameras or the more expensive compact size cameras. The quality of the lens itself is not a major concern. An non auto-iris wide angle lens would be better but I'm open to suggestions. Please e-mail, in case I will receive a lot of "me too" responses I'll summarize to the list. Paolo Bellutta I.R.S.T. vox: +39 461 814417 loc.

I would appreciate any comments on and experiences with KBVision. I am particularly interested in knowing the following. 1) How powerful/flexible/popular is the constraint module? It seems to me while quite a few people are actually impressed by Excutive Interface (for image dispaly) and Image Examiner, very few people have much experience on the constraint module? What are the reasons? 2) How is the knowledge module compared with other intelligent system tools such as KEE. 3) Can KBVision be used in a real time environemnt? embedded into a robotics system? If not how much overhead involved in the conversion between programs for KBVision and regular C programs? 4) Others. Thanks in advance, Chien ------------------------------ Date: 10 Aug 90 14:41:11 GMT From: uh311ae@sun7.lrz-muenchen.de (Henrik Klagges) Subject: Rotated Email Address Keywords: Thanks & Address Change Organization: LRZ, Bavarian Academy of Sciences, W. Germany Hello, thanks a lot for the replies to my article concerning pattern recognition of rotated molecules scattered over a surface ("Rotated molecules & rotating physics student"). I think the "best" solution is using a genetic optimizer that gets a parameter vector (angle & displacement) as input and scans for a given pattern. If anyone likes the C++ (cfront 2.0) code for a genetic algo- rithm (with bugs 8-)), please email me. To circumvent infinite mail problems there is a new BITNET address that worked, at least a message from koza@Sunburn.Stanford.EDU came through.

Keith Nishihara Subject: non-interlaced rs-170 monitor? Phone: (415)328-8886 Us-Mail: Teleos Research, 576 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, CA 94301 I'm looking for a video monitor to use with cameras capable of producing RS-170 like video but non-interlaced (Panasonic GP-MF-702's). We need this mode to support a pipelined Laplacian of Gaussian convolver we are building. Any suggestions for a good (but not too expensive monitor)? Someone suggested one of the newer multisync monitors made for PC's and the like, anyone know if that works? thanks -- Keith hkn@teleos.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Aug 90 16:45:03 BST From: S.Z.Li@ee.surrey.ac.uk Subject: Info Wanted: Vision Chip/Hardware Manufacturers Organization: University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, UK. GU2 5XH Hi, netters: I am interested in contacting chip/hardware manufacturers for vision and neural nets. Do you know who/where they are? If you do, could you e-mail me the information? My address is: S.Z.Li@ee.surrey.ac.uk. Many thanks in advance. Stan ------------------------------ End of VISION-LIST ********************
