I received a suggestion about RSS feeds of bibliography updates. As long as
the change could be automated, I decided it might work. So, I now have a
set of
RSS feeds for recently added papers,
divided by the same sections used in the contents page.
The
Facebook application for Conferences (e.g. CVPR)
is working as expected with over 140 different users a month and over 400
total.
You get a Facebook notification on changes or approaching deadlines for the
conferences you express an interest in, and can see who else is interested
(at least those who allow public viewing of their name).
Since the Facebook programming experiment went fairly well (but Facebook
is constantly changing), I decided to explore Word Press and so there
is now another useless
addition -- my blog. It will
mostly have comments and news on additions and
changes to the Bibliography and Conference pages, but will include other
things I find of interest.
with indexes for Author, Journal/Conference, Keyword, Words in title, and Authors by year was last modified on Thursday, July 2, 2009, 10:20 pm. This bibliography, which has been an internet resource since 1994, provides access to information on 102,000+ scientific papers in the field of computer vision, image processing, character recognition and other related topics. (See the totals of authors, titles, and other references.) This is the official mirror site for the original USC Iris Vision Bibliography, and contains some enhancements. Several subsets of useful information have been extracted into separate web sites. These are mentioned below.
If you know what you are looking for, you can try the "Jump directly to the index" option for Authors, words in title (KWIC), and Journals.
The top level bibliography page has pointers for finding papers by author (including author arranged by year to reduce your effort in creating annual reports), conference or journal names, keywords, and a KWIC index. The historical Rosenfeld Bibliography data is also available, but it is incomplete (i.e. it ends in 1998) and is the result of an automatic translation so there are errors.
A more complete description of the following items can be found in the Extended Computer Vision Resources Listing, which provides more information on these various resource lists.
If you want to find pointers to a particular research group, I have these arranged somewhat geographically. Some companies are categorized as vendors rather than research groups.
lists current events with information on future meetings, dates for paper submission, locations, websites, and also contains archives of this information on past meetings. Conference deadlines for about the next 3 months are also available.
In Association with Amazon:

Stereo, the use of 2 or more images to provide three-dimensional information or displays, has a long history. Stereo for sound (music) came much later. I have assembled some stereo pairs, which can be viewed on the screen. Most of these are scenery, but there are some with buildings.
Why Yosemite? It is a place I enjoy. I have included some pictures and pointers to the usual places, and some not so usual. Enjoy. And the picture at the top, it is correct. This is not the usual view of Half Dome from the Valley or Glacier Point, it is the view from Clouds Rest so the half part of the dome is on the "wrong" side.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon are not quite Yosemite, but together they have more to offer than just the trees (remember, they are sequoias, not redwoods). I have included some pictures and pointers to the usual places. Enjoy.
A lot of places claim to be the Grand Canyon of something-or-the-other, but there is only one Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon is timeless, yet provides a record of time; changeless, yet is different by the hour. Other canyons may be longer, deeper, wider, steeper, but none have all the qualities that make this canyon Grand.
A really interesing site about Architecture in Los Angeles, from someone who spends vacations here. (The LA Times story of April 11, 2007 says it best.)
Are the billboards in Los Angeles getting you down? Last spring Christine Pelisek wrote an article in LA Weekly: Billboards Gone Wild: 4,000 Illegal Billboards Choke L.A.'s Neighborhoods which included 4 listings of billboards for 3 of the major companies in LA. These are available for browsing at my LA Billboard Information Site (including maps showing locations) and adding new information. This resource should help understand how widespread the problem has become. Please add information on other locations and provide some of the missing information on those that are included.
For comments you can try: The general Comments Form But email usually works best, though I may be away from email for a week at a time.
A lot of this has been derived from my work with the Computer vision group at USC.
