Organization: Queen's University at Kingston Hello ! Is anybody familiar with Pentland's research concerning the recovery of superquadrics from range data? I have problems understanding what he means by minimal length encoding, and how his algorithm performs segmentation !! I will appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. Mohamed. ------------------------------ Date: 4 Oct 90 12:21:07 GMT From: loren@tristan.llnl.gov (Loren Petrich) Subject: What is the State of the Art of Artificial Vision? Organization: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory I wish to ask how much has been accomplished in the field of Artificial Vision. What sorts of things have been achieved in the field of computerized visual perception? To put it another way, what things is it possible to "perceive" with the computerized vision systems that have been devised to date? What progress has been made in artificial-vision algorithms and in artificial-vision hardware? I am sure that appropriate specialized hardware will be essential for artificial-vision applications, since the amount of raw data to be processed is enormous, and many of the fundamental operations are relatively simple and can be done in parallel. And that is why I asked about hardware. Has anyone published the kind of overview of the artificial-vision field that I have been asking for?

For our purposes, ADCT or the items of this kind work best. I have tested Kodak's 'Colorsqueeze' software for the MAC, and the results are okay, except for speed, but I am looking for similar software to be run on UNIX machines. For me, the optimal solutions would be public-domain UNIX sources. Can anyone help?

Vemuri, Dept. of CIS, University of Florida, Gainesville, Fl Cochairs: Ruud M. Bolle, IBM T. J. Watson Research Ctr., Yorktown Heights NY Demetri Terzopoulos, Dept. of CS, Univ. of Toronto, Canada Richard Szeliski, CS Research labs, DEC, Boston, MA Gabriel Taubin, IBM T. J. Watson Research Ctr., Yorktown Heights NY The theme of this conference is application of geometric methods in low-level vision tasks, specifically for shape and motion estimation. Over the past few years, there has been increased interest in the use of differential geometry and geometric probability methods for various low-level vision problems. Papers describing novel contributions in all aspects of geometric and probabilistic methods in low-level vision are solicited, with particular emphasis on: (1) Differential Geometric Methods for Shape Representation (2) Probability and Geometry (Geometric Probability) (3) Energy-based Methods for Shape Estimation (4) Geometry and Motion Estimation Deadlines: Abstract Due Date: 24 December 1990 Manuscript Due Date: 24th June 1991 You may recieve the author application kit by sending email requests to vemuri@scuba.cis.ufl.edu. Late abstract submissions may be considered, subject to program time availability and chair's approval. Submit To: SPIE Technical Program Committee/San Diego'91 P. O.
