Subject: Range image segmentation

Hello, 

I am trying to segment range image data for simple objects
i.e. cups, hammers, etc. Do you know where I can find a 
segmentation program for range data preferably implemented in C?

Thank you very much,

Ana Ortega

Dear friends,

We are looking for a program that converts geographic coordinates
to line and column number of a Landsat image. Where do we can find
a public domain program that do this?

Thank you.

Hi !
        Does anybody have any C code or algorithm which will compute the
minimum rectangle enclosing a set of 2D points ? Please forward all responses
to mookherj@fiu.edu.

Thanks in advance,
Jay

Hi,

I will be in the USA from July 16th to July 26th in Topeka, Kansas. 
I would like to be able to visit with other researchers in Vision if
they are close to Topeka. Could anyone in that area please contact me
so that I can make arrangements for a visit or if you know of someone
in the area could you send me their email address.

Thanks
 Feisal

Subject: ICASSP'94 Proceedings on CDROM still available

ICASSP'94 was held in April 94 in South Australia.  ICASSP is a
signal processing conference which covers the following areas:

1.  audio & electroacoustics
2.  underwater acoustics
3.  speech processing
4.  digital signal processing
5.  statistical signal & array processing
6.  image & multidimensional signal processing
7.  VLSI for signal processing
8.  neural networks for signal processing
9.  fuzzy logic principles

The ICASSP'94 Proceedings on CDROM are still available from my company,
Causal Systems.  The CDROM contains the full proceedings of the
conference scanned at 300dpi.  There are in excess of 3500 pages on the
CDROM, which costs just a fraction of the price of the paper books.

For more information, please email me.

S.K. Bhatia, V. Lakshminarayanan, A. Samal and G. Welland.  Parameters for
Human Face Recognition.  University of Nebraska, Department of Computer
Science & Engineering Technical Report UNL-CSE-94-011.  May, 1994.

\begin{abstract}

This paper reports human performance data from a series of psychophysical
experiments investigating the limits of stimulus parameters relevant for the
recognition of human faces.  In these experiments, we use a two-alternative
forced-choice paradigm for response elicitation.  We develop a benchmark that
can be used to determine the performance of a machine vision system for human
face recognition at different levels of image degradation.  The benchmark is
developed in terms of the number of pixel blocks and the number of gray scales
used in the images.  The paper presents a model of representation that can be
useful for recognition of faces in a database, and may be used to define the
minimum image quality required for retrieval of facial records at different
confidence levels.
