All Silicon Graphics computers have been substituted by PCs,
the Origin 200 server by a dual Intel Xeon (total 8 cores for OpenMP),
with various Nvidia graphics (Tesla etc.) for CUDA programming.
The Olympus BX40 microscope with Polaroid Digital Microscope Camera (max 1200x1600
in 24 bit color) and Physik Instrumente P-721.10 piezotranslator (max 90 microns;
10nm steps) is waiting for a student expert in optics and inverse ray-tracing,
to tackle 3D reconstruction of transparent objects like diatom valves.
The Cambridge VSG2/3F Visual Stimulus Generator with OptiCal has been donated to
Alexandra Reis from Psychology.

For publications on texture and visual perception, look at the dubuf homepage.
New books are still arriving. See our LIBRARY
See almost updated list of PUBLICATIONS
TEXTURES can be found here.
LINE AND EDGE DETECTION can be found here.
An absolute must is to visit the
Computer Vision Home Page and the
Vision Science webpages,
where you can find almost all (?) our colleagues in the world working on computer
and/or human vision. Another useful site with lots of information is
CVonline.
You can also take a look at
Wavelets for Texture Analysis,
Wavelets Internet Sources,
and last but not least the
Gabor Digest
as well as the
Wavelet Digest.
If you are interested in neuroscience, including visual psychophysics,
the modeling of visual perception, as well as neurophysiology of cortical
processing, you can use a very powerful search
engine at the Neuroscience
Web Search site.
For discussions, FAQs, etc, see the newsgroups sci.image.processing and
comp.ai.vision. Another useful source of information is Adrian Clark's
PIXEL.
