The main concern is how to define a "subpart" in a 3D shape, the applicative problem how to segment a range image into significant subparts (subvolumes) Thanks in advance Manuel Trucco Dept. of Artif.

E-mail: mtc@edai.ed.ac.uk ------------------------------ Date: 21 Feb 90 16:20:42 GMT From: M Cooper Subject: Refs for Visual Analysis Organization: Edinburgh University Computing Service I'm looking for references to work on analysis of the meaning of shapes within images, e.g. the machine equivalent of the human knowledge that * is an asterisk, or that a picture of a pig represents a pig. I'm interested in work that looks at semantic image analysis, beyond the early robotic vision systems. The problem I'm looking at may be seen as abstracting physical features or regularities from a class of images, then matching the images to linguistically based knowledge. We could use a template based approach or some kind of visual-spatial grammar to describe the morphology of object-images, and mapping rules for semantics. I guess you'll have gathered that this is all new to me, so any references for work on visual languages, image analysis, graphical lexicons, etc. will be gratefully received.

Organization: The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas We bought a Series 100 frame grabber board from Imaging Technology Inc. The software that comes with the board should include the Toolbox software which has some source programs on how to program the board. We are installing the board on a Sun system. Does anyone out there who has the Toolbox software and would like to send it to me? Or does anyone have any experience in programming the Series 100 frame grabber board on the Sun or Unix system?
