Pixar for image processing range-hardware Workshop: Adap. Neural Nets & Statistical Patt. Recog. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 23 Feb 90 10:48:12 +0000 From: P.Refenes@Cs.Ucl.AC.UK Subject: 3D IMAGE Reconstruction. Can anyone out there mention references about 3-D image reconstruction. I am looking for the best review paper on techniques for 3D Image reconstruction. Failing that I could do with the second best, or with any paper or descent reference. The particular problem that we have is to re-construct a 3-D image of slides of skin (histopathology). Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me if such a group exists, and how I can join? I would appreciate any help that anyone would offer.

(Greg)Shiu Subject: range-hardware Does anybody know of companies that sell dense ranging devices, using time of flight or triangulation? And what are their approximate prices? I have heard that ranging system are expensive (around 100K), so I may want to buy a plane laser projector for building my own triangulation based range sensor but I dont know which companies sells plane laser devices.

Flynn) Subject: Workshop: Adap. Neural Nets & Statistical Patt. Recog. Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks & Pattern Recognition Sponsored by The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) Sands Hotel Atlantic City, New Jersey June 17, 1990 Recent developments in artificial neural networks (ANN's) have caused a great deal of excitement in the academic, industrial, and defense communities. Current ANN research owes much to several decades of work in statistical pattern recognition (SPR); indeed, many fundamental concepts from SPR have recently found new life as research topics when placed into the framework of an ANN model. The aim of this one-day workshop is to provide a forum for itneraction between the leading researchers from the SPR and ANN fields. As pattern recognition practioners, we seek to address the following issues: **In what ways do artificial neural networks differ from the well-known paradigms of statistical pattern recognition? Are there concepts in ANN for which no counterpart in SPR exists (and vice versa?) **What benefits can come out of interaction between ANN and SPR researchers? **What advantages, if any, does ANN techniques have over SPR methods in dealing with real world problems such as object recognition, pattern classification, and visual environment learning?
