Workshop on MRF models in Computer Vision Update on CVPR ------------------------------ Date: 1 May 89 17:42:40 GMT From: doorn@ai.etl.army.mil (Bradley Doorn) Subject: Discontinuity detection in stereo images/References? Keywords: stereo,automatic correlation,discontinuities,artificial intelligence Organization: USAETL, Fort Belvoir, Virginia I am interested in references and people who are working on the problem of automatically detecting terrain discontinuities from aerial stereo imagery prior to obtaining a complete elevation model. The question is 'Can information obtained from correlation 'attempts' be used to enhance automatic stereo matching and image interpretation?' One of the baseline problems is the distinction between textural edges and geometric edges. Please send the references by e-mail and I will compile and post my findings. Bradley D.
