Subject: Contour-based optical flow computation
Hello,
Can anyone give me any information about CONTOUR-based
optical flow computation algorithms other than the
Hildreth's method? Any comments and pointers will
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Submission
Dear Friends,
We are starting a research programme on colour image segmentation
and would appreciate very much to hear about the two following doubts:
A - Is there any set of curves that can be used to map from RGB to
frequency (or wavelength) available?
B - Is there any image database containing colour images and
including the colour table that was used during image acquisition?
We thank you in advance for the attention.
Yours faithfully,

Subject: Edge detector output
Hi all,
While comparing different edge detector's outputs (binarized) for
noise immunity, I try to strive so that the false detection and false
rejection PROBABILITIES are almost same. Conseqently, the detected
edges in visual evaluation OFTEN gets worse (my observation) than if
I'd have binarized otherwise sensibly, like choosing binarization
threshold on a trial and error basis and sticking to one which gives
better detection.
What do you do when you also observe similar phenomenon? I mean, while
quantitative comparison is understandable and leaves little choice,
for visual comparison do you stick to the SAME less-than-optimum edge
output (if it is so), or do you use an optimum edge output (may be by
trail and error basis) other than that obtained by the threshold that
made the above mentioned PROBABILITIES somewhat equal?
What is a fair comparison in such a case?
Thanking all of you in anticipation.

SPIE 95 Conference:
Integrating Photogrammetric Techniques With
Scene Analysis and Machine Vision
April 17-21 1995
In conjunction with ISPRS Intercommission Working Group II/III on
Digital Photogrammetric Systems.
Conference Chairs
David McKeown Carnegie Mellon University
Ian Dowman University College, London
The focus of this conference is the application of rigorous photogrammetric
techniques to automated scene analysis and image understanding with primary
emphasis on the analysis of remotely sensed imagery. Many automated and
semi-automated image interpretation algorithms have reached a level of
refinement where the introduction of accurate photogrammetry may be essential
to successful results. The addition of photogrammetric knowledge to these
algorithms will also provide additional information and constraints. We
solicit contributions to this conference that focus on aspects of
photogrammetry and computer-assisted image interpretation in the following
areas:
(1) Use of photogrammetry in computer vision algorithms for object
recognition, modeling, and scene analysis including:
o Use of photogrammetric information to guide computer vision algorithms.
o Use of high quality geometric information and invariants.
o Precision of derived points and features.
o Managing uncertainty in derived models.
o Computer vision in typical photogrammetric problems:
resection
calibration
tie-point determination
(2) Automated mapping applications including:
o Terrain modeling.
o Automated image-scene registration.
o Cartographic feature extraction of manmade structures.
o Understanding and utilization of existing maps, databases, imagery.
o Surface cover description and characterization.
o Cartographic change detection.
o Applications to forestry, land use, environmental monitoring.
(3) Multisensor fusion using explicit photogrammetric models including
modeling of non-traditional sensors, such as:
o Airborne multi-spectral scanners
o Imaging radar
o FLIR, IR
o Sonar
(4) Design issues for advanced photogrammetric workstations including:
o Effects of image handling, resampling, and softcopy stereo display on
measurment precision.
o Automation vs. operator interaction.
o Output verification and editing.
(5) GIS issues in digital photogrammetry including:
o Utilization and update of databases.
o Types of derived products.
o Maintenance of spatial data over time.
Paper submissions should be approximately 15 pages in length and should clearly
address one or more of the topics above. Extended Abstracts can be submitted
for review. These should be between 1000 - 1500 words in length and should
clearly convey the approach and results of the research. Papers will be
selected for either presentation during a regular session, or in a poster
presentation. Full papers will be allowed 30 minutes of presentation time
so as to allow for a complete technical discussion. Please indicate a
preference for presentation. A small number of invited papers will be solicited.
Please send (3) copies of full papers or extended abstracts by October 15, 1994 to:

THERAPY PLANNING, SIMULATION AND CONTROL:
.virtual and augmented reality applied to therapy control
.virtual patients for surgical training
.telepresence in medicine, telesurgery
.image guided medical robotics
.image guided therapy
.using electronic anatomical atlases
.virtual reality for rehabilitation
REGISTRATION PROBLEMS IN MEDICINE:
.3D localization of patients or surgical tools
.on line tracking of patient or organ motion
.nonrigid matching in medical images
.registration of mono or multimodal medical images
.registration with electronic anatomical atlases
MEDICAL IMAGE UNDERSTANDING:
.differential geometry and multidimensional images
.motion, shape and texture analysis in medical images
.building and using physical deformable models
.segmentation of multidimensional medical images
.spectral analysis in medical images
.detecting measuring pathological evolution
.building electronic anatomical atlases

5.0 Workshop Location
The Cosmos Club is a prestigious social club with many well-known
members, following the tradition of John Powell, who helped
establish the Club in 1897. The National Geographic Society was
founded at the Cosmos Club in 1889. The Club presently occupies a
mansion which was originally built in 1899, and was a private
home until the Club acquired it in 1951. With Powell auditorium,
which was added later, and a spectacular banquet facility, the
Club is an excellent location for the AIPR Workshop. Gentlemen
are expected to wear a coat and tie in the public areas of the
club, and ladies wear comparable attire.
The Club building, 2121 Massachusetts Ave. NW, is located at the
Southeastern end of "Embassy Row," which contains many of
Washington's embassies and consulates. Dupont Circle, the hub of
Washington's night life is two blocks away. An enormous variety
of restaurants, from fast food to Washington's finest, as well as
shops and nightclubs, are in the Dupont Circle area.
Parking in the Dupont Circle area is limited both night and day.
The Club is a five minute walk from the "Q Street" exit of the
Dupont Circle station on the Metro, Washington's comfortable,
efficient subway system. Any of the city's hotels is in easy
reach via the Metro.

and in North America, focusing on methodological and evaluation aspects of
Information Processing in Medical Imaging.
The meeting is held in the style of a workshop, limited to 100 participants who
are expected to make an active contribution by presenting papers and by joining
discussions. There are no parallel sessions and discussion time is virtually
unlimited. The proceedings of the meeting are available during the meeting.
According to previous participants, it is one of the most useful meetings in
medical imaging research.

LOCATION
IPMI 95 will be held at the Conference Centre of "Ile de Berder". The site is
located on a small island, 50 meters from the shore, in the gulf of Morbihan on
the south coast of Brittany, France. The surrounding area is famous for its
numerous pre-Celtic buildings and its tradition in yacht racing. The region
enjoys mild and sunny weather in June.
It is easily accessible from Paris by high speed rail (TGV).
COSTS
The fee for accomodation, full board and registration will be less than 3000 FF
(US$ 500). It is expected that partial subsidies for travel, registration and
accomodation will be available for first authors of accepted papers and for a
limited number of students who wish to attend the conference.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
To ensure that the presentations are of the highest quality, all papers
submitted to IPMI 95 will be refereed. Full length papers (maximum 12 pages)
should be sent before December 1, 1994 (see address bellow). Deadlines are
strict and early submission is recommended.
PRELIMINARY CONFERENCE CALENDAR
December 1, 1994 : Deadline for receipt of full (draft) manuscripts for review
January 15, 1995 : Notification of acceptance of papers
February 15, 1995 : Deadline for receipt of final camera-ready manuscripts
February 15, 1995 : Deadline for receipt of application to attend
June 1995 : IPMI 95 conference
SOCIAL EVENTS
A cruise in the gulf of Morbihan, a visit to the Gavrinis cairn (pre-Celtic
pyramid) and a conference dinner will be organised during the meeting.
