Notice: last update Fri Mar 31 -- see bottom of the file.
This directory contains the image library of the VISIONS group at
UMass/Amherst. Each sub-directory contains a specific sort of image:
motion sequences, color images, outdoor images, indoor images, etc.
Typically the name of the directory suggests the sort of images in the
directory.
There is also an interactive DB of image descriptions available. Telneting
in as 'visimgdb' to vis-ftp.cs.umass.edu will place you in an interactive
program which will allow you to search a data base of image descriptions.
The data base and the program to access are also available for FTP'ing
in the directory imdb (the data base is vis-imagedb.ilb* and the program
source is in image_db.tar.Z).
Most of the image data is in what we call "Universal Plane File
Format" - this is a variation of our LLVS plane file format. The
directory 'universal_plane_file_format' contains documentation
describing this format as well as code to read these files on several
different platforms. These plane files always have an extension of
'.plane'. Plane files should always be transfered in binary mode. Some
files have an extension of .im - these files are in KBVision image
format. For more information about KBV, you can send mail to
aaimail@aai.com.
If you have questions or can't find a particular sort of image, let us
know by sending E-Mail to me Robert Heller (systems programmer)
<heller@cs.umass.edu>.
Jan-15-1991 - by popular request, some of the motion data files have
been collected into tar files and compressed. Also, all of the files
in 'universal_plane_file_format' have also been collected into a tar
file and compressed. This has been done to make FTP'ing easier. RPH.
More news: there is a file named ls-lR.Z in the top-level of the FTP
tree. This file is the compressed output from a "ls -lR" of the FTP
tree. It is updated weekly. RPH
Aug-08-1994 -- Coming soon: VISIONS group papers will start to become
available via FTP. These will be compressed PostScript files (.ps.Z).
Also we are looking into putting our images onto CDROMs and mounting
these CDROMS on our FTP server -- this will mean that more of our image
library will be online, rather that lots of stuff living on tapes -- we
have been backing up and deleting less used data to make room for new
data, soon we will be making CDROMs instead, so everything will stay
online. RPH
Wed Oct 19 12:30:01 1994 -- VISIONS group papers are becoming available
via FTP. These are in the form of compressed PostScript files (.ps.Z).
They are all under the /Papers directory. Files are under the first
author's name. There are README files in each directory giving a bibtex
like listing of all the papers a given author is a co-author of.
Also: please use "vis-ftp.cs.umass.edu" instead of
"cicero.cs.umass.edu". We may move the ftp server to a different machine
(with a bigger disk) at some time in the future. The
"vis-ftp.cs.umass.edu" alias will change if and when this happens. RPH
Fri Nov 18 09:46:50 1994: vis-ftp.cs.umass.edu has moved from
cicero.cs.umass.edu to klingon.cs.umass.edu and the archive is now on a
2gig partition of a 9gig drive, instead of a 600meg drive. Lots more
room for stuff now. (You should still use vis-ftp.cs.umass.edu --
things may change in the future.) RPH
Fri Mar 31 10:24:23 1995: www-vis.cs.umass.edu can now access this
archive intelligently -- there are now .html files all through this
archive. Check out http://www-vis.cs.umass.edu/~vislib/. Also I have
organized things by categories:
