Preface

It is with great pleasure that we present the proceedings of the 10th Interna-
tional Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC 2014) held in Las Vegas, Nevada,
USA. ISVC provides a common umbrella for the four main areas of visual com-
puting including vision, graphics, visualization, and virtual reality. The goal is to
provide a forum for researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners through-
out the world to present their latest research findings, ideas, developments, and
applications in the broader area of visual computing.
This year, the program consisted of 12 oral sessions, one poster session, six
special tracks, and six keynote presentations. The response to the call for papers
was very good; we received over 280 submissions for the main symposium from
which we accepted 74 papers for oral presentation and 55 papers for poster pre-
sentation. Special track papers were solicited separately through the Organizing
and Program Committees of each track. A total of 39 papers were accepted for
oral presentation in the special tracks.
All papers were reviewed with an emphasis on potential to contribute to the
state of the art in the field. Selection criteria included accuracy and originality
of ideas, clarity and significance of results, and presentation quality. The review
process was quite rigorous, involving two to three independent blind reviews
followed by several days of discussion. During the discussion period we tried
to correct anomalies and errors that might have existed in the initial reviews.
Despite our efforts, we recognize that some papers worthy of inclusion may have
not been included in the program. We offer our sincere apologies to authors
whose contributions might have been overlooked.
We wish to thank everybody who submitted their work to ISVC 2014 for
review. It was because of their contributions that we succeeded in having a
technical program of high scientific quality. In particular, we would like to
thank the ISVC 2014 area chairs, the organizing institutions (UNR, DRI, LBNL,
and NASA Ames), the industrial sponsors (BAE Systems, Intel, Ford, Hewlett
Packard, Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs, Toyota, General Electric), the in-
ternational Program Committee, the special track organizers and their Program
Committees, the keynote speakers, the reviewers, and especially the authors who
contributed their work to the symposium. In particular, we would like to express
our appreciation to MERL and Drs. Jay Thornton and Mike Jones for sponsoring
of the “best” paper award this year.
We believe hope that ISVC 2014 offered will offer opportunities for pro-
fessional growth and hope the participants had a pleasant time in Las Vegas,
Nevada.

Now, onward we go, for a century more,
To tell of the change that has flitted o’er.
There are lofty mansions, and spacious domes,
And silvery fountains, and pleasant homes;
There are green, bright trees, and flowers gay,
Where now the dark forests so gloomily sway;
And, most of all, is an open cave,
And a clear, pure spring the gray rocks lave;
And the plate-glass protects, without hiding a room,
Where the relics of age and piratical gloom
Are treasured in safety, not for their worth,
But because they had rested so long in the earth;
And the brilliant oxygen light at night
Half shames the moon, with its pure, pale light.
While a painted balloon, with its rubber case,
Floats gracefully down to its proper place,
As though it were waiting the moment when
It could fly far away ’bove the homes of men,
And be guided with equal precision and ease
As far or as near as the rider may please.
And the flag-staff glows with its highland plaid,
With which the painter the bare stick clad;
While high ’bove the earth, in his own free pride,
Is old Red Jacket standing, his bow beside,
And carelessly pointing to those below
The way the wild winds in the cloud regions blow;
And the gay, pure flag, with its tri-colors bright,
Is floating now in the morning light;
But around the bright scarlet, that was once its edge,
Is a border of flowers ’bove the rocky ledge;
’Tis England’s emblem, the roses bright,
And Scotia’s thistle, pale, green, and white;
The shamrock, that Erin’s children love,
And the iris and fuchsia that droop above.
All these shall be gathered together there,
While the workers faint not on the hill-side bare;
And, at last, when the triumph is made complete,
Shall be woven together these flowers sweet;
And hundreds and thousands yet shall see
The flower-bordered banner waving free.

And now I have finished this history true


Of the present, the past, and the future, too;
And all ye great world, whether timid or brave,
Look out for the next news from Dungeon Cave.
Enesee.
CONCLUSION.
Again the hand of time has made its mark in and around
Dungeon Rock. Twenty-eight years have come and gone since this
little book first went on its mission, and with them, many of those
most interested in the progress and prosperity of the work and
workers at the cave, have passed on to spirit life. One only, of the
little family yet lives. Far away in the sunny South-west, in her own
home, the first to say farewell to home and loved ones. Next the
gentle, kind-hearted wife and mother, was called away by death’s
relentless hand. The father and son still held steadfast to their faith,
working winters and attending to visitors during the summer and
autumn months. Friends always came in times of need, and when
hope was ready to give way to doubt, and when hands and hearts
grew weary with their labors, some cheering message from the other
side, or the fulfilment of a long ago communication, gave them new
courage and energy, and thus the work continued. The father’s
health had been gradually failing, and in 1868 he joined the spirit
band without having reached the cave occupied by the pirates,
though quite a cave had been made by the excavators, and a huge
pile of stone near by gave ample proof of the unwavering purpose of
this man’s life for nearly twenty years. Intelligent, energetic and
capable, sharp and clear-sighted, with a vein of humor, and pleasing
manner, he welcomed all to his humble abode, whether believer or
skeptic, with the same good natured, honest expressions of interest
and assurance in the work, that he fully believed was given him to do
by disembodied spirits, receiving, as he sometimes said all things as
compliments, whether donations of money, provisions, or a profusion
of wordy advice or ridicule. He had many firm friends, who were ever
ready to lend their assistance in life, and in his death missed the
companionship of a good and upright man.
Thus Hiram Marble, the Excavator, finds rest from his labors,
and his inanimate form is placed beside that of his wife in the little
church-yard of his native town in western Massachusetts.
The little house under the rock has now but two occupants.
Edwin, first mentioned in the history as a youth of twenty, now takes
up the task alone. A small, delicate man, with clear light blue eyes,
light brown hair and a face white and fair as a woman’s; honest,
credulous and hopeful, he has the will but not the strength to cope
long with that hard unyielding stone, yet the thought of abandoning
the work is not tolerated for a single moment, and every year the pile
of stone outside is heaped higher, and the route of the excavation
becomes longer, deeper and more circuitous; and, alas! each year
the excavator grows weaker and more feeble and less able to carry
on the work. More rooms have been added to the house, but the
octagon foundation is now only a ruin. The interest is still kept up
and many visitors come every year and all go away well pleased that
they have spent an hour in this quiet spot, around which there hangs
a mystery.
Early in the winter of 1879 Mr. Marble contemplated visiting his
relatives and friends in the West, but instead thereof, he started on
that journey from whence no traveler returns,—in the body—and one
bright day, in the middle of January 1880, the last good byes were
spoken and his grave was made by the side of the rock, just above
the house where he spent more than half of his earthly existence.
There is little change in the place since then; the faces of
strangers are seen in the places where the visitors of long ago saw,
perhaps, those described in these pages; but they will give you a
welcome, kind as ever, and try always to make your visit pleasant.
The old platform, where there has been much merry-making, has
been replaced by a larger and better one. The old flag-staff has long
since blown down.
The cave, or excavation, is now nearly two hundred feet through
and seventy-five feet below the entrance, and well worthy a visit from
all who can find opportunity for such a pleasure. It teaches a lesson
of faith—not without works—then the view from the top of the rock is
beyond all description; far as the eye can reach, from the dome of
the state house in Boston on the right, to Marblehead and Salem on
the left, with a full view of the harbor even to Minot’s light, with its
beaches and islands, its steamers and sail-boats, its constant trains
of cars passing and repassing along the beach, the electric lights
and japanese illuminations at the Point of Pines, are all plainly
visible, and make a grand and majestic panorama, while the nearer
view is still more picturesque and lovely. The song entitled “America”
best describes ones feelings as they look around them from that
point. The tall pines, the giant oaks and walnuts, the graceful cedars,
with ash and hemlocks mingling with the monster gray boulders,
forming beautifully contrasting colors and shades, in the sunlight, or
the gray morn or eventide, while the shimmering light upon Saugus
river and the sheeny blue of the Ocean contrast strangely with the
large, smooth-faced sheet of water directly in front and just below,
which just now is over-running its banks on every side, while a
hundred little brooks and rivulets are hurrying and tumbling over their
rocky beds to offer their tribute to Breeds Pond, that the people of
Lynn may drink and not thirst. Around this beautiful pond is a shady,
winding road, that is named Dungeon Rock Avenue, and leads
directly to the rock from the city, while beyond and around are
hundreds of acres of hills and valleys and mountains and glens,
rocks and ravines.
The scenery is wild and romantic in the extreme, and a society,
calling themselves Foresters, have formed for the purpose of
purchasing and holding these granite hills for public use to be kept
as a perpetual forest, that all may have the pleasure of visiting the
wild woods, and this inside the city limits of Lynn and within a dozen
miles of Boston. Dungeon Rock, or the Visitor’s Resort is in the midst
of this quiet splendor, this silent temple, with its many spires and
altars. It is accessible by the Myrtle Street horse cars, or addressing
Dungeon Rock, Lynn Mass., parties will be conveyed direct from any
part of the city, and can spend an hour of pleasure and profit and
judge for themselves of all that has been said and written of this
quiet, lovely spot and wonder who next will have the faith, courage
and opportunity to go on with this strange work, and add to the
monument that two good men have created to faith in the immortality
of the soul and a life beyond the grave.
Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made
consistent when a predominant preference was found in the
original book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced
quotation marks were remedied when the change was
obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-
profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by
the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal
tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws


regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states


where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot


make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current


donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several


printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
