Subject: Q&A : Best method for representing a 3D curve
Organization: The University of Western Australia
Re: VISION-LIST digest 22.15.1:
The best method for representing a 3D curve or even a surface is B-Splines.
With a B-Spline representation it is easy to calculate the normal, tangent
and curvature at every point. You can also play around with moving points.

Subject: Q&A : Master theses and Ph.D dissertation of surface defect
inspection
I'm interested in the application of machine vision to surface defect
inspection.
Would you please recommend some useful materials to me? Master theses and
Ph.D dissertations are preferred.
Your help is appreciated.

One Research Post - Computer Vision
Applications are invited for one post-doctoral researcher to work in the
School of Informatics on an EC funded project entitled "CAVIAR: Context
Aware Vision using Image-based Active Recognition". Informatics at
Edinburgh is one of the top-ranked departments in Europe.
The researchers will investigate topics related to appearance based
recognition, such as might be applied to pedestrian behaviour analysis.
At Edinburgh these include: foveated feature extraction, feature
grouping, spatial and temporal attention, representing and recognising
objects, contexts and situations, reactive integration and control
architectures.
See: http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/homes/rbf/CAVIAR/details.htm
for more details.
Applicants for the post must have a PhD in an appropriate area, such as
computer vision or image processing and should have experience with the
C or C++ or JAVA programming languages.
The post is on the AR1A scale (18265-26270 pounds/annum [with an
increase for inflation still in negotiation]). Placement for the post
is according to experience and qualifications. The post is available
immediately and will last until September 30, 2005.

CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS
FROM ANIMALS TO ANIMATS 8
The Eighth International Conference on the
SIMULATION OF ADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR (SAB'04)
http://www.isab.org/sab04
An International Conference organized by
The International Society for Adaptive Behavior (ISAB)
13-17 July 2004, Los Angeles, USA
The objective of this interdisciplinary conference is to bring together
researchers in computer science, artificial intelligence, alife,
control, robotics, neurosciences, ethology, and related fields so as to
further our understanding of the behaviors and underlying mechanisms
that allow natural and artificial animals to adapt and survive in
uncertain environments. The conference will focus on experiments with
well-defined models --- robot models, computer simulation models,
mathematical models --- designed to help characterize and compare
various organizational principles or architectures underlying adaptive
behavior in real animals and in synthetic agents, the animats.
Contributions treating any of the following topics from the perspective
of adaptive behavior will receive special emphasis:
The Animat approach
Characterization of agents and environments
Passive and active perception
Motor control
Visually-guided behaviors
Action selection
Behavioral sequencing
Navigation and mapping
Internal models and representation
Learning and development
Motivation and emotion
Collective and social behavior
Emergent structures and behaviors
Neural correlates of behavior
Evolutionary and co-evolutionary approaches
Autonomous robotics
Humanoid robotics
Software agents and virtual creatures
Applied adaptive behavior
Animats in education
Philosophical and psychological issues
Authors should make every effort to suggest implications of their work
for both natural and artificial animals, and to distinguish the portions
of their work which use simulation from those using a physical agent.
Papers that do not deal explicitly with adaptive behavior will be
rejected.
CONFERENCE FORMAT
Following the tradition of SAB conferences, the conference will be
single track, with additional poster sessions. Each poster session will
start with poster spotlights giving presenters the opportunity to orally
present their main results.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Submission instructions can be found on the conference Web site.
Submitted papers must not exceed 10 pages (double columns). Because the
whole review process heavily relies on electronic means, the organizers
strongly enforce electronic submissions of PDF documents. Authors who
are in the impossibility to deliver a PDF document should contact the
program chairs ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for discussing alternative
ways of submitting.
Computer, video, and robotic demonstrations are also invited for
submission. Submit a 2-page proposal plus a title page to the program
chairs. Indicate equipment requirements and relevance to the themes of
the conference.
CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
A separate call for workshop and tutorial proposals can be found on the
conference web site at http://www.isab.org/sab04. The accepted workshops
and tutorials will take place on the last day of the conference, July
17. Inquiries can be made to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
