Pen Computing -- An Overview

Krishna S. Nathan
IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, U.S.A.

Pen computing has had its share of ups and downs over the past few years - from the heady promises of handwriting recognition and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) to the disenchantment due to poor sales of pen based computers and the lack of credible applications for them. In my talk, I will discuss the issues that have led to this state of affairs, as well the current trends in the industry. The main challenges facing pen computing today will also be explored. These include improving algorithms for handwriting recognition, building better and more natural hardware platforms and designing user interfaces that take into account the demands multimodal input. The talk will also touch upon work in this area that is being carried out at the T.J. Watson Research Center at IBM.

Speaker’s Biography:
Krishna S. Nathan is Senior Manager of Consumer Devices at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY where he is responsible for research and development activities in handwriting recognition, novel mobile pen platforms and related applications.

Dr. Nathan joined IBM Research in 1991 after receiving a doctoral degree in Electrical Sciences from Brown University in the area of speech recognition. Prior to that he was a Member of Technical Staff at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology. He holds a master degree in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Ma. His professional interests are in the areas of pattern recognition, signal processing and mobile computing.

Invited Talk:

Image Guided Surgical Systems

Eric Grimson M.I.T., U.S.A.


Imagine giving a surgeon an "X-Ray vision" ability, that is, allowing him to look at a patient and see through skin, bone, fat to visualize internal structures, like tumor or blood vessels, exactly as they occur within the patient. Imagine allowing him to insert instruments through narrow openings in the body, yet still be able to visualize the full anatomical context around the instrument. Such capabilities would enable a surgeon to better plan procedures, to navigate through delicate procedures and to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical procedures, e.g "have I removed all of the tumor". This talk will describe such an image guided surgical system, currently in regular use at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston for neurosurgical cases. The system combines a suite of computer vision techniques, and allows a surgeon to visualize internal structures in registration with the patient, to interactively probe points within the patient and see the full anatomtical context of his position, and to evaluate progress of the surgical procedure. Related techniques allow a clinician to noninvasively map functional areas of the cortex, such as motor cortex, in order to provide the surgeon with registered information about critical structures during surgery.


Speaker’s Biography:

Eric Grimson received a B.Sc. (Hons) in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Regina in 1975 and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from MIT in 1980. He is currently a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at MIT and a Lecturer on Radiology at Harvard Medical School. For the past twenty years, he has conducted research on computer vision, and has authored two technical monographs in this field. Prof. Grimson currently heads the Computer Vision Group of MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, which has pioneered state of the art systems for object recognition, image database indexing, image guided surgery, target recognition, site modeling and many other areas of computer vision. Recently, his group has been active in applying vision techniques in medicine: for image guided surgery minimally invasive surgery and telemedicine.

Invited Talk:

Computational Color: Digital Photography and Computer Vision

Brian Funt
Simon Fraser University, B.C., Canada


The members of the Computational Vision Laboratory at Simon Fraser University have been studying color for over a decade. I will discuss some of the main color issues, the progress we have made in the understanding them and the application of our methods to color-based object recognition and digital photography.

To explain color perception, we much explain how it is that we see colors as relatively stable despite changes in the incident illumination. I make the assumption that color like the rest of visual perception is there to give us information about the world, the surface properties of objects in particular, and so the stability and reliability of the information is important. The problem of color stability arises because the light reaching our eyes from an object is the product of the object’s surface reflectance and the spectrum of the light illuminating the object. We do no have direct access to the properties of the incident light, so somehow we must estimate them from the light we receive from the object. To make matters worse, our eyes only measure the spectrum at extremely low resolution.

Clearly, a stable representation of object color would be useful in computer vision. It is equally important for digital photography since we do not want images to produce images whose color balance depends on the qualities of the ambient scene illumination. Until recently the growth of digital photography was limited less by camera technology than by the lack of economical digital printers with photographic quality a situation that has changed gramatically in the last six months with the introduction of some new ink jet printer technology (e.g. the Hewlett-Packard Photo Smart Printer). Digital photography is providing new impetus to the search for better model of color perception. Comparative tests of many different color constancy methods show that two work most reliably: one based on a neural network to estimate the illumination properties from a color histogram, and a second based on the constraints provided by the image gamut.


Speaker’s Biography:

Brian Funt is the Director of the Center for Systems Science and Professor of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University where he has been since 1980. He received his B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D.(1976) degrees from the UBC, Canada. His research has focussed on computational models of color perception for 15 years. At iccv-2, he was awarded the Marr prize for “color from Black and White”. He is currently an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Image Processing responsible for papers on color in particular.

Invited Talk:

Color Vision and Color Media Processing Research in Asia

Shoji Tominaga
Osaka Electro-Communication University, Japan

I will survey the state of color vision and color media processing research in Asia from a computation viewpoint. First, I will discuss briefly the principles of color vision and color measurement. Then I describe why color constancy is important and difficult to be realized in machine vision. The goal of computational color constancy is to recover the physical properties of illuminant and surface from photosensor responses. I introduce a vision system for color constancy and our current results.

Next, I will discuss algorithms for understanding complex color images. Real images exhibit rich and complex structure, whose nature is determined by the physical and geometric properties of illumination, reflection, and imaging. I suggest some reflection models adequate for describing light reflection of a variety of materials. Then approaches are introduced for estimating scene parameters based on the reflection models.

Finally, I will discuss the issue of color management. The concept of device-independent color reproduction of image has received wide spread attention since the advent of desk-top publishing systems. Color reproduction requires color conversion between the color signals, depending on a device, and the standard color coordinates, representing color appearance. Mapping methods are introduced for solving the color conversion problem for color printers.

Speaker’s Biography:

Shoji Tominaga was born in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, on April 12, 1947. He received the B.E., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Osaka University, Toyonaka, Osaka, Japan, in 1970, 1972, and 1975, respectively. From 1975 to 1976, he was with Electrotechnical Laboratory. Since April 1976, he has been with Osaka Electro-Communication University, Neyagawa, Osaka, where he is currently a Professor with the Department of Engineering Informatics. During the 1987-1988 academic year he was a Visiting Scholar at the Department of Psychology, Stanford University. His research interests include computational color vision, color image analysis, and neural networks. He is a member of the Optical Society of America, IEEE, SID and IS&T.
