International linkages

Prof. Haggrén has become a sought-after lecturer and chairman in international conferences in the field of video digitizing. Below is a list of his activities in this area.

  1. Chair of the Session: Novel Techniques. Computer Vision for Industry, Munich, June 24-25, 1993.
  2. Chair of the Session: Range Images and Active Triangulation. 2nd Conf. on Optical 3-D Measurement Techniques, Zurich, October 4-7, 1993.
  3. Chair of the Session: Automatic Measurement in Dynamic Processes. ISPRS Commission V Symposium 'Close Range Techniques and Machine Vision', Melbourne, March 1-4, 1994.
  4. Member of the Program Committee and Chair of the Session: On-line Control Systems. Videometrics III, part of the SPIE's International Symposium on Photonic Sensors & Controls for Commercial Applications, Boston, October 31 - November 4, 1994.
  5. Chair of the Session: Project Surveying. International FIG Symposium on Deformation Analysis and Engineering Surveying, Cape town, February 7-10, 1995.
  6. Member of the Scientific Advisory Board and Chair of the session: Surface reconstruction and orientation. St. Petersburg-Great Lakes Conference on Digital Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing '95, June 25-30, 1995.
  7. Member of the Program Committee. 3rd Conf. on Optical 3-D Measurement Techniques, Vienna, 1995.
  8. Member of the Program Committee and Chair of the Session: On-Line Metrology Systems. Videometrics IV, part of the SPIE's International Symposium on Photonic Sensors & Controls for Commercial Applications, Philadelphia, 1995.

One of our researchers in the video digitizing projects was Ass.Res.Prof. Min Gong from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. His primary expertice is for computer science and he worked for the distributed shared-memory architecture within networks dedicated to photogrammetric image processing [ ]. Also many foreign students visiting our institute participated in the video digitizing projects, among them Anja Wilkin (TUBonn, Germany, EC-funded, 2 years), Valentin Donisa (Univ. Al.I.Cuza, Romania, CIMO-funded, 6 months), and Yingchun Wu (NEU Shenyang, China, partly CIMO-funded, a year and a half).

Related to video digitizing, we have applied EC-funding as a member of the AMOR-consortium for the TMR Network on ``Automated model generation for object recognition and quantitative scene analysis''. Within the consortium we have planned several longer stays for our postgraduates to visit the AMOR-institutes, and their ones to visit us. In May 1996, we will have a three-days ``Kick-off''-meeting for this TMR-project in Espoo.
