Description: This award is for support of US scientists' participation in a `US-Pakistan Workshop on Motion-Based recognition`, to be held in January 1998, in Karachi, Pakistan. The US team leader is Dr. Mubarak Shah, Department of Computer Science at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. The Pakistani co-organizer is Dr. Javaid Laghari, of the Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology in Karachi, Pakistan. The areas to be emphasized in the workshop include: cyclic motion detection, activity recognition, event recognition, lip-reading, gesture recognition, and facial expression recognition. The proceedings, including the technical presentations and the recommendations, will be published. The workshop is to be held just before the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) planned in January 1998, in Bombay, India. The proximity of the two sites should help increase the participation in the Karachi workshop by US scientists. Scope: This project is to bring US and Pakistani scientists to discuss recent developments in a relatively new and important area of computer graphics, namely the area of motion-based recognition. The applications of this technology are wide, such as in manufacturing (industrial automation and robotics), in surveillance and monitoring, in traffic control, in object tracking, in measurement of cloud and wind motions, and in biomedical imaging. It is planned to focus attention during the workshop on the scientific questions that can be addressed through US-Pakistan collaboration. There is a relatively inexpensive, skilled, scientific manpower in Pakistan, which can effectively carry part of the research work in the field of computer imaging and software development. This project should help establish the infrastructure necessary for developments in industry in Pakistan, and for Western companies wishing to invest in manufacturing in this growing market. The invited US participants are eminent researchers from universities, industry and government laboratories, and they include one woman who is an expert on artificial intelligence and signal processing, and at least two junior scientists. The proposal meets INT criteria for supporting activities likely to enhance collaboration between US and foreign scientists in areas of mutual interest, and for encouraging the participation of women scientists and junior scientists in international activities .

描述：该奖项是为了表彰美国科学家参加将于1998年1月在巴基斯坦卡拉奇举行的“美国-巴基斯坦基于动作的识别研讨会”。美国队的领队是奥兰多中佛罗里达大学计算机科学系的穆巴拉克·沙阿博士。巴基斯坦的联合组织者是巴基斯坦卡拉奇沙希德·祖尔菲卡尔·阿里·布托科学技术研究所的贾瓦德·拉加里博士。研讨会要强调的领域包括：循环运动检测、活动识别、事件识别、唇读、手势识别和面部表情识别。会议记录，包括技术介绍和建议，将予以公布。研讨会将在计划于1998年1月在印度孟买举行的国际计算机视觉会议(ICCV)之前举行。这两个地点的接近应该有助于增加美国科学家对卡拉奇研讨会的参与。范围：这个项目旨在让美国和巴基斯坦的科学家讨论一个相对较新和重要的计算机图形学领域的最新发展，即基于运动的识别领域。该技术在制造业(工业自动化和机器人)、监视和监测、交通控制、目标跟踪、云和风运动的测量以及生物医学成像等方面的应用非常广泛。计划在研讨会期间将注意力集中在可以通过美巴合作解决的科学问题上。巴基斯坦拥有相对便宜、熟练、科学的人力，可以有效地承担计算机成像和软件开发领域的部分研究工作。这个项目应该有助于建立巴基斯坦工业发展所需的基础设施，以及希望在这个不断增长的市场投资制造的西方公司。受邀的美国参与者是来自大学、工业和政府实验室的知名研究人员，其中包括一名人工智能和信号处理专家的女性，以及至少两名初级科学家。该提案符合INT的标准，即支持可能加强美国和外国科学家在共同感兴趣的领域的合作的活动，以及鼓励女科学家和初级科学家参与国际活动。
