Hi all,
The website http://www.vislist.com has had some problems over the last few
months. I wasn't aware of it until this weekend. It is a great help to
notify me when you see a problem with the vislist. Please
mailto:pk...@dperception.com if you see anything amiss with the vislist,

Subject: Q&A : Measuring Visual Angle For Rangefinding Application
I have devised a way to determine both target size and target range from
two measurements of visual angle. By visual angle I mean the angle you
would measure if you held up a protractor to the target and read the
angle the target covered from the angle marks on the protractor.
Right now this method is just two equations, one for target size and the
other for range. Since I want to make an instrument implementing this
new method, I need to measure visual angle(s). The only thing I came up
with is a three-line cursor. The cursor has a dotted line in the center
and two solid lines, one on the left and one on the right. The user puts
the dotted line on the target's center and then adjusts the two solid
lines until the inside edges of the lines touch the outer edges of the
target. When that happens, the user presses a button and records the
visual angle measurement.
My questions are:
(1) Is this a good way to measure visual angle?
(2) If (1) is a good way, how do I implement it?
(3) Are there other (possibly better) ways?
(4) If so, how do you implement them?
All replies are welcome. Thank you Vis-list members

CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on Computer Vision for Nanoscale Imaging, Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, October 2007.
In Conjunction with ICCV 2007, October 14th-21th, 2007.
http://www.cs.fit.edu/Projects/cvnano/iccvnano.html
Computer vision is rapidly expanding into this new and exciting field of
nanoscale imaging, and considerable research efforts are currently being
spent on developing new image-based characterization techniques to
analyze these images. Nanoscale characterization requires algorithms to
perform image analysis under extremely challenging conditions such as
low signal-to-noise ratio and low resolution. It is important to design
image processing and analysis algorithms that are able to enhance
images, detect objects and features, reconstruct 3D geometry, and track
features.
The goal of the workshop will be to bring in researchers from
multi-disciplinary areas and identify common mathematical problems,
models, and methods for future research in this emerging new topic.
Contributed papers describing recent advances in either area of
nanoscale image analysis research or application are welcome. A
non-exclusive list of possible topics for submissions in the area of
nanoscale image analysis is:
– Image enhancement techniques
– Noise characterization (for example, noise modeling for TEM, SEM,
etc.)
– Object detection techniques
– Texture analysis
– Feature extraction techniques
– Tracking in nanoscale image sequences
– 3D reconstruction techniques
– Characterization of semitransparent objects
– Multi-modal fusion for visualization
– Nanobio image analysis
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for paper submission: June 4th, 2007
Notification of acceptance: End of July, 2007 (Parallel to ICCV)
Deadline for camera-ready electronic copy: August, 2007 (Parallel to ICCV)

MEDICAL IMAGE UNDERSTANDING AND ANALYSIS 2007
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
PAPER SUBMISSION & REGISTRATION AVAILABLE
University of Wales Aberystwyth, 17-18 July, 2007
http://www.miua.org.uk
You have received this message because you expressed an interest in a
recent MIUA conference. We will also send it to those registered for
previous MIUA meetings, so you may get it more than once. You may also
receive it if you belong to an appropriate mailing list. Sorry for
multiple copies.
This will be the 11th in a series of annual meetings that provide a UK
forum for the dissemination and discussion of research in medical image
understanding and analysis. While this is the principal UK conference in
this field, contributions from outside the UK are welcome and
encouraged. The scope of the meeting extends from analysis of medical
and biological images to imaging physics and clinical studies. Papers
up to FIVE pages long (a change from pre-2006 meetings) on any topic
within the scope of the meeting are requested, and will be reviewed by
the programme committee.
In addition to the contributed papers, MIUA 2007 will include
presentations by two keynote speakers:
- Prof Ken Brodlie (University of Leeds, UK) and
- Dr Simon K Warfield (Harvard Medical School, USA).
For more detailed information about the meeting visit the conference
website at http://www.miua.org.uk . Register with the website to obtain
further information concerning conference registration and paper
submission. If you have previously registered on an MIUA site (or
another site administered by CAWS), your details will have been
retained. Use your email address to log in. If you are a newcomer, you
can browse the site without registering. Registration is painless,
however, and will ensure you get kept up to date with conference
information.
Key dates for the time being:
Deadline for receipt of paper submissions --- April 16th 2007
