Normal VCR are equipped with automatic gain control (AGC) and other proces- sing features which are disturbing in my case. I would like to know if anybody knows the name of a company offering VCRs not equipped with these features and specially suited for scientific recording of images. Thank you!

Toolkit The info in a recent Vision-List about Bristol's image Toolkit was interesting and worthwhile to announce on Vision-List. However, there seem to be quite a few of these beasts floating around (esp. in academia), some of which are public domain (i.e., free, no maintenance, maybe some documentation), some of which have been pseudo- commercialized, some of which have been commercialized, etc. Perhaps Vision-List would be a good conduit for compiling a list of the known image toolkits and their availbility status. If you can find a willing compiler (i.e., a human) who would edit the responses sent in by Vision-List readers, it would probably be a very good service to the Vision community (as you might guess, this implies I am not volunteering, but perhaps a call for a volunteer in a Vision-List announcement might succeed). Lew Hitchner UC Santa Cruz [ I agree that this would be worthwhile. Those with information, please post the information, and I will repost. In particular, specify: the language, target system and portability, scope of routines, copyrights, support and maintenance, responsible person(s) to contact, extent of constructs (e.g., image processing, region-based, abstractions for object description, etc.), and (if appropriate) the cost of the system. phil... ] ------------------------------ Date: 2 Mar 89 22:31:11 GMT From: munnari!rhea.trl.oz.au!dconway@uunet.UU.NET ( Switched Networks) Subject: Perception data wanted Keywords: sensory input references Organization: Telecom Research Labs,IPF,Melbourne, Australia Is the following sentence meaningful? "Unimpaired humans receive XX% of all sensory input visually." If it is: a) what is the value of XX? b) how is this determined? c) what is the standard reference on this? If not: a) what _can_ be meaningfully said in this context? b) what are the issues which complicate such estimates? b) what is the standard reference on the relative importance of the different senses? Please reply by email. I will summarize responses.

If you are doing research on related topic or one of the following topics : _ Image segmentation using human visual properties and applications in image compression. -The use of visual models for better image generation. -The use of spatial and temporal characteristics of the visual system to enhance image quality and update rates. Contact me, regarding your most recent publications in any of the above topics. Thank you malek@pyramid.steinmetz.Ge.Com ------------------------------ End of VISION-LIST ********************
