Science in Developing Countries: Workshop on Computer Visionin Pakistan

来自五所美国大学的科学家将与巴基斯坦科学家一起参加一个研讨会，该研讨会将促进那里的计算机视觉研究。 这将是在巴基斯坦举行的第一次此类研讨会，并将作为巴基斯坦和美国科学家在这一领域继续对话的合理下一步。 在INT的支持下，Shah教授于1992年在Meadow工程大学开设了一门关于计算机视觉的短期课程，并进行了必要的联系，以启动中央佛罗里达大学和信德大学之间的联系计划。 Shah负责在他的部门建立计算机视觉研究，并领导一个由博士和博士生组成的计算机视觉研究小组。 硕士生和本科生。 Shah是NSF主要资金的接受者，用于在美国建立此类研究能力。 他的一个学生谁做了杰出的研究被邀请作介绍他的REU项目在美国国家科学基金会于1990年。 适用范围：计算机视觉研究在高性能计算和通信以及工业自动化和机器人技术中有重要的应用。 预计未来的工厂将高度自动化。 与会者将评估这一领域目前的最新技术水平，并提出未来的发展方向。 将特别注意确定大学与产业的互动以及巴基斯坦人对课程开发的看法。 ***

9317453 SHAH Description: Scientists from five U.S. universities will participate with Pakistani scientists in a workshop that will promote computer vision research there. This will be the first workshop of its kind held in Pakistan and follows as a logical next step in continuing the dialogue between Pakistani and U.S. scientists working in this field. Many of the Pakistani scientists did there graduate studies in the U.S. With INT support, Professor Shah gave a short course on Computer Vision at Mehran University of Engineering in 1992 and made the necessary contacts to start a linkage program between the University of Central Florida and the University of Sindh. Shah is responsible for building up computer vision research in his department and leads a computer vision research group consisting of doctoral and masters candidates and undergraduates. Shah is a recipient of major NSF funding to build such research capability in the U.S. One of his students who did outstanding research was invited to make a presentation on his REU project at NSF in 1990. Scope: Computer vision research has important application in High Performance Computing and Communications, and in industrial automation and robotics. Factories of the future are expected to be heavily automated. The participants will evaluate the current state-of-the-art in this area and suggest directions for the future. Particular attention will be given to identification of the University-industry interaction and for the Pakistanis U.S. perspectives on curriculum development. ***
