We are trying to reconstruct the coronary arteries in three dimension for a live heart. In order to that several views of the beating heart should be registered correctly. Any recommendations of books/journal articles would be very much appreciated.

Organized by Jacob Beck of the University of Ore- gon and Azriel Rosenfeld of the University of Maryland, the Workshop will consist of invited papers on models for human visual processes. It will be held in the Nauset IV Room, Sea Crest Resort, North Falmouth, MA from 8:30 to 4 PM. The Workshop registration fee is $30. The following papers will be presented: ``Line Segregation'', Jacob Beck, Azriel Rosenfeld, and Richard Ivry, University of Oregon and University of Maryland. ``Motion and Texture Analysis'', John Daugman, Harvard University. ``The Medium is Not the Message in Preattentive Vision'', James Enns, University of British Columbia. ``A Neural Network Architecture for Form and Motion Percep- tion'', Stephen Grossberg, Boston University. ``Conservation Laws and the Evolution of Shape'', Benjamin B. Kimia, Allen Tannenbaum, and Steven W. Zucker, McGill University. ``A Biological Mechanism for Shape from Shading and Motion'', Alexander Pentland, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Brainard Department of Psychology Stanford University Changes in the spectral power distribution of the ambient illumination change the spectral properties of the light reflected from a surface to the eye. It is commonly believed that the human visual system adapts to reduce the change in perceived surface color appearance under changes of illumination. I use a matching paradigm to quantify the effects of adaptation to the illuminant on color appearance. My results show that this adaptation serves to reduce but not eliminate changes in surface color appearance. Because there are many possible surfaces and illuminant changes, it is not possible to measure directly the effects of adaptation for all of them. I propose using a finite dimensional bi-linear system to model the process of adaptation. This class of model has two advantages. First, it is possible to test whether the model describes the data. Second, to the extent that the model holds, it allows prediction of the effects of adaptation on the appearance of any surface for any illuminant change. I present data that test how well the bi-linear model describes human performance. ------------------------------ Date: 18 May 89 04:16:46 GMT From: scarter@caip.rutgers.edu (Stephen M.

Presents MACHINE VISION -An intensive five-day course for engineers and scientists concerned with the theory and application of machine vision. July 10-14, 1989 - New Brunswick, New Jersey Lectures given by Dr. H. Freeman, and a staff of leading experts noted for their work in the field of machine vision will provide a detailed presentation of the concepts and techniques used in applying machine vision to industrial problems. Emphasis will be placed on sensors,illumination techniques, computer algorithms,hardware requirements, and system considerations. The material presented will range from basic techniques to the latest,state-of-the-art methods. Case studies of actual applications in industry, health care, surveillance, and the military will be presented. Registration fee: $895.
