This award will support a nine month long-term visit by Professor Narendra Ahuja, Coordinated Science Laboratory, University of Illinois at Urbana, to Japan for a cooperative research project with Dr. Fumio Kishino, Communications Systems Research Laboratories, Advanced Telecommunication Research Institute International (ATR) in Osaka. They will be undertaking research in the area of integrated image analysis and visualization. Professor Ahuja's current research includes 1) integration of the information present in diverse image cues for deriving a three-dimensional (3D) interpretation and 2) visually realistic and compact depiction of scenes. The success of a depiction is measured by the extent to which a human observer realistically perceives the desired scene characteristics from the depiction. Dr. Kishino's research is also concerned with both image interpretation and image synthesis, but for images that contain humans. They use a range of image cues related to human body motion in performing the interpretation. They also emphasize greatly the hardware implementation and prototype development issues. The researchers will closely study and compare the two lines of research, and attempt to determine ways in which each PI's research could be enhanced in effectiveness by incorporating the pertinent strengths of the other's activity. Results of the research could provide great military and commercial potential. Improved simulator technology could also be used as a scientific research tool in robotics, eliminating the need for real mobile robots to be built at every robotics laboratory. These robots are expensive to purchase and even more expensive to maintain and program. Both Professor Ahuja and Dr. Kishino are noted for very productive, high quality research. Likewise, both the University of Illinois and ATR are respected in the community for their significant research in the area of computer vision and visualization. It is expected that this collaborative effort will continue after the formal agreement has terminated, and it is further anticipated that useful publications will result from this bilateral effort.

该奖项将支持教授为期九个月的长期访问 Narendra Ahuja，协调科学实验室，大学 伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳分校，前往日本进行合作研究项目 与通信系统研究所的岸野文雄博士 高级电信研究所实验室 国际（ATR）在大坂。 他们将进行研究 在综合图像分析和可视化领域。 Ahuja教授目前的研究包括1）整合 存在于不同图像线索中的信息用于导出 三维（3D）解释和2）视觉逼真 和紧凑的场景描绘。 一个成功的描述 以人类观察者在多大程度上 从描绘中感知期望的场景特征。 岸野博士的研究还涉及到 解释和图像合成，但对于包含 人类 他们使用一系列与人体有关的图像线索 在执行解释的过程中。 他们还强调 大大提高了硬件实现和原型开发 问题. 研究人员将对两者进行密切研究和比较 研究路线，并试图确定每种方法， 如能将以下项目纳入研究计划， 对方活动的相关优势。 研究结果可以为军事和 商业潜力。 改进的模拟器技术还可以 作为机器人科学研究的工具， 每个机器人公司都需要制造真实的移动的机器人 实验室 这些机器人购买价格昂贵， 昂贵的维护和编程。 Ahuja教授和Dr. Kishino以富有成效的高质量研究而闻名。 同样，伊利诺伊大学和ATR都受到尊重 在社区的重要研究领域， 计算机视觉和可视化。 预计这一 正式协议签署后， 结束，并进一步预计，有用的 这一双边努力将产生出版物。
