From: Bob Fisher <r...@inf.ed.ac.uk>
Subject: Q&A : IAPR PR Resources web site
We have recently completed the first round of development
on the IAPR Pattern Recognition Education Resources web site:
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/IAPR/
This work was initiated by the Internation Association for
Pattern Recognition ( http://www.iapr.org/ ).
The goal was a web site that can support students, researchers and
staff. Of course, advances in pattern recognition and its subfields
means that developing the site will be a never-ending process. However,
we believe that the current site is now well developed enough for
general use.
What resources does the IAPR Education web site have?
The most important resources are for students, researchers and educators.
These include lists with URLs to:
- Tutorials and surveys
- Explanatory text
- Online demos
- Datasets
- Book lists
- Free code
- Course notes
- Lecture slides
- Course reading lists
- Coursework/homework
- A list of course web pages at many universities
There are many areas for extension in the web pages, but they
already link to more than 3000 resources.
These resources are subdivided into five areas. Of course, the boundaries
are never distinct and we undoubtedly will also provoke a few
dissenting opinions. However, we have tried to address the main work done
by the IAPR community, as clustered into 3 core technology areas and 2 broad
families of application areas:
1. Symbolic Pattern Recognition
2. Statistical Pattern Recognition
3. Machine Learning
4. 1D Signal Analysis
5. Computer vision/Image Processing/Machine Vision

Subject: Q&A : Cone-beam CT reconstruction
I'm a graduate student studying Computer Vision.
I have recently researched about Cone-beam CT reconstruction.
I couldn't know what's a public method as that has various CT artifact
methods.
So, if you know the most public CT artifact methods used recently, could you
show me.
Or could you give a point?
Thank you for listening my words.
I wish I get the answer by e-mail. ( mailto:kar...@ece.skku.ac.kr )

City University London
PhD Project: Measuring visual disability in glaucoma
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible visual impairment and blindness.
Measuring visual field defects is important in the clinical management
of the disease, but little is actually known about how different defects
impact on patients' 'everyday' visual functioning, especially in the early
stages of the disease. Using a series of laboratory based experiments, we
will investigate the performance of a large group of patients on a variety
of visual tasks such as reading, reaching and grasping for objects, searching
images and face recognition. A particularly novel aspect of these experiments
will be simultaneous monitoring of eye movements, with the aim of demonstrating
how patients may use these to compensate for their functional difficultly.
Results from this research are likely to generate considerable interest and
will be presented at conferences in the US and Europe, and extensive travel
funding for this is available.
A suitable candidate will have a good honours degree or an MSc. The studentship
is not restricted to those with a particular background; rather we seek a
dedicated scientist who can demonstrate real enthusiasm for this exciting
project. Detailed knowledge about vision or eyes will not be required but
experience at performing experiments with people would be a key advantage,
as would be a familiarity with computing and analysing data. The 3-year studentship
is open to UK and EU candidates only and is worth =A315K per annum (tax free),
with all fees for PhD registration paid. There are also opportunities for
paid work demonstrating, teaching and administration within the
department.
The candidate will join a lively research laboratory composed of other PhD
students & research fellows and will work closely with our clinical partner
in glaucoma research, Moorfields Eye Hospital: an internationally recognised
research hospital. Applications (CV, including 2 referees and a statement
of interest) should be submitted (in writing or email) to the principal project

Subject: CFP : Special J issue on Video-based Gait Analysis - 01MAR2009
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Part B: Cybernetics
Special Issue on
New Advances in Video-based Gait Analysis and Applications: Challenges and Solutions
The IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Part B:
Cybernetics is seeking original high-quality manuscripts for a Special
Issue on New Advances in Video-based Gait Analysis and Applications,
scheduled for publication in early 2010.
The study of human gait has generated much interest in the fields
including biomechanics, clinical analysis, computer animation, robotics,
and biometrics. In the early studies, traditional sensor-based obtrusive
methods were commonly used. Recently, with the development of widespread
availability of cameras and techniques of automated video analysis,
video-based gait analysis has been one of most active but challenging
research topics. As a relatively new biometric, gait can be used to
signify the identification of individuals in image sequences. From a
surveillance perspective, gait recognition is an attractive modality
because it may be performed at a distance, surreptitiously. Gait motion
capture and understanding are important in HCI and entertainment such as
computer game and automation. Recently, gait has also been used for
gender discrimination and age estimation, as well as traditional
applications in medical diagnosis and rehabilitation.
There has been great progress made in the area of video-based gait
analysis over the past few years, but not without limitations such as
view dependence, simple and controlled environment, insufficient
consideration of temporal influences on gait (such as clothes, carrying
conditions, health states, body build variations due to weight), etc.
This poses a number of significant challenges in video-based gait
analysis and applications. More advanced solutions are thus needed to
meet emerging application needs. As one major frontier for computer
vision and pattern recognition research, statistical learning theories
and techniques have been successfully applied for human tracking, motion
modeling and recognition, which have evidenced rapid and fruitful
developments, and are under the way to make further significant
contributions to the area of vision-based gait analysis. To present and
highlight the latest developments in vision-based gait analysis and
applications in terms of both challenging areas and research approaches,
this special issue is designed to aim at new advances in video-based
gait analysis for different applications and will feature papers
proposing new solutions to these real difficulties. We will solicit
original contributions of researchers and practitioners from academia as
well as industry, which address a wide range of theoretical and applied
issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Viewpoint invariant gait analysis from a single camera
* Gait and scene of crime analysis
* Invariant description of exploratory variables
* Abnormal gait detection and analysis
* Robust segmentation and tracking in complex scenes
* Real time gait video analysis
* Efficient storage, processing and retrieval of large amounts of

Special Issue on Soft Computing for Digital Information Forensics
INTRODUCTION
The emergence and evolution of new digital technologies are dramatically
changing how information is captured, processed, analyzed, interpreted,
transmitted, and stored. While digital technology has greatly improved
the collection and analysis of evidences, the underlying research
challenges primarily focus on the integrity and the reliability of
validating the resulting forensic decisions accurately. Furthermore,
digital evidences can be easily tampered, altered, or forged to commit
fraud, identity theft, or impersonate someone else, to remain elusive
from law enforcement. Using image processing techniques, it is easy to
tamper the original image by replacing an individual's face, and making
the change difficult to detect. Image forensic techniques use natural
properties of image to determine forgery or locate tampering. In another
example, it is possible to determine whether an image is generated by a
digital camera, a cell-phone camera, or a computer by analyzing the
image properties and characteristics and comparing the statistics of
various digital devices.
With the rise of digital crime (signature forgery, image forgery,
illegal transaction, etc.) and the pressing need for methods to combat
these forms of criminal activities, there is an increasing awareness of
the importance of information forensics for security applications.
Fundamental areas of interest include attack models, cryptanalysis,
steganalysis, authentication, human identification, signal
classification, surveillance, transaction tracking, etc.
In many practical applications, the evidences collected from a crime
scene may be non-ideal due to poor quality or availability of partial
information. It is imperative for new research approaches to fuse
information from multiple evidences to make a forensic decision or
reliably classify as genuine or imposter.
In all these forensic applications, soft computing techniques such as
neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary computing, and rough set,
play an important role in learning complex data structures and patterns,
and classifying them to make intelligent decisions. Soft computing has
been widely used in various applications, such as machine vision,
pattern detection, data segmentation, data mining, adaptive control,
biometrics, and information assurance. This special issue aims to
highlight state-of-the-art research and novel solutions in information
forensic applications using emerging soft computing techniques.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
High quality review and technical research papers are solicited for the
special issue. The topics include but are not limited to the following:
Algorithms: Bayesian learning, neural network, support vector machine,
genetic algorithms, rough sets, case based reasoning, fuzzy logic,
uncertainty principle, and other machine learning approaches.
Applications: Handwriting analysis, digital document examination,
image/video forgery detection, evidence source investigation, speaker
authentication, intelligent surveillance, biometrics, digital device
forensics, digital evidence retrieval, multi-mode human indexing,
digital transaction tracking, cryptanalysis and steganalysis, crime
prevention and prediction, information fusion, friction ridge analysis,
and other forensics applications.

We are now seeing increasing deployment of biometric systems in many
aspects of life, including face, fingerprint, gait and iris recognition
systems at airports as well as access to highly secure facilities.
Several applications in government, commercial, defense and law
enforcement areas have a basic need to automatically identify humans
both locally and remotely on a routine basis. The need for high accuracy
and broad population coverage has made it necessary to investigate the
use of multi-modal biometrics. The intrinsic security of the biometrics
systems and the associated privacy concerns have emerged as important
research topics.
The 3rd International Conference on Biometrics (ICB 2009) will bring
together leading biometric researchers, system designers, and end users
