T h i s paper presents a stereo vision system that uses imag primitives as stereo comspondence units in order to reduce the compurational errors. This sysrem. integrated into a "hand-eye" robot system, is able to recognize cylindrical objects. such as cans. so as to have them picked up by the robot.

The principal habitats of immature Orthopodomyia alba and Orthopodomyia signifera are tree holes, though they are occasionally encountered in artificial containers. We collected 929 Or. alba and 17 Or. signifera from 2 plastic trash cans, 2 scrap tires, and a tree hole. All collections were made in an urban residential area in central Illinois.
