Yet another pretty picture generated from the AMOS dataset. This montage consists of 165 false color image (each created using principal component analysis) generated from 165 different webcams.

Here is one of the 170 montage images in a collection of images generated from the AMOS dataset. In addition to uploading them to flickr, I ordered a couple of mini-photo books from qoop that I am hoping will arrive before I leave for CVPR.

This is an archive of Scene 388 from the dataset which is located at (37.759700, -114.972400).

In less than two weeks a group of fellow graduate students and I will crowd into a van and drive to CVPR (a computer vision conference) in Minneapolis.  I hope to see some new things that will  inspire my research and to talk to people about a summer internship.  On Thursday, June 21, I present a poster on temporal variations in outdoor static cameras.

My colleague Michael Dixon and I have recently been wishing for a list of papers that everyone in the computer vision field should read and understand. Any good textbook on computer vision contains a list of important books, but I am lazy. I want a list on the web.

I think I have found the beginnings of such a list on Wikipedia as part of the Science Pearls project. In my opinion, the list of important papers in computer vision is too short—it only contains five papers—but it is a start.

I love it when computer science is pretty.
