Science in Developing Countries: Workshop on Computer Visionin Pakistan

9317453沙阿描述：来自美国五所大学的科学家将与巴基斯坦科学家一起参加一个研讨会，该研讨会将促进巴基斯坦的计算机视觉研究。这将是在巴基斯坦举办的第一次此类研讨会，也是巴基斯坦和美国科学家在这一领域继续对话的合乎逻辑的下一步。许多巴基斯坦科学家在美国攻读研究生。在INT的支持下，沙阿教授于1992年在梅赫兰工程大学(Mehran University Of Engineering)上了一堂计算机视觉的短期课程，并建立了必要的联系，启动了中佛罗里达大学和信德大学之间的联系项目。沙阿负责在他的系里建立计算机视觉研究，并领导一个由博士、硕士候选人和本科生组成的计算机视觉研究小组。沙阿接受了美国国家科学基金会的大量资助，用于在美国建立这种研究能力。1990年，他的一个学生在美国国家科学基金会做了关于他的REU项目的演讲，他的一个学生做出了杰出的研究。范围：计算机视觉研究在高性能计算和通信、工业自动化和机器人技术中有着重要的应用。未来的工厂预计将高度自动化。与会者将评估这一领域的当前最新水平，并为未来提出方向建议。将特别注意确定大学与行业的互动以及巴基斯坦人对课程发展的美国观点。***

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. ***
