FG 2013 Doctoral Consortium Proposal for Travel Support for Graduate Students

这项旅行津贴支持美国研究生参加博士联盟，该联盟将与2013年4月22-26日举行的IEEE自动人脸和手势识别国际会议(FG 2013)一起举行。参与者包括正在撰写论文并已被该联盟接受的研究生。每个学生参与者都与一名高级研究员配对，后者在会议期间担任他/她的导师。每位与会者还在向与会者和导师开放的博士联合会午餐会上介绍他/她的研究成果，并在向所有与会者开放的海报会议上介绍他/她的研究成果。研究生在进行创新和开创性研究方面发挥着关键作用。该联盟为有才华的年轻研究人员提供机会，与他们的同行和资深研究人员正式和非正式地讨论他们的工作。这些与来自不同研究实验室、具有不同观点的其他人的互动通常会加强年轻研究人员交流自己工作价值的能力，并在整个研究领域的更广泛背景下更清楚地安排他们的工作。研究生的成功职业生涯将是推动与人脸、手势和身体运动相关的新算法和应用程序的最先进水平的当务之急，从而在生物识别、交互系统、监控和医疗保健等领域带来新的能力。

This travel grant supports US graduate students to attend the Doctoral Consortium to be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG 2013) to be held on April 22-26, 2013. Attendees include graduate students who are working on their dissertations and have been accepted to the consortium. Each student participant is paired with a senior researcher who serves as his/her mentor during the conference. Each participant also presents his/her research at a doctoral Consortium luncheon open to participants and mentors and also presents his/her research in a poster session open to all attendees of the conference. Graduate students play critical roles in conducting innovative and groundbreaking research. The consortium provides talented young researchers the opportunity to discuss their work formally and informally with both their peers and senior researchers. These interactions with others coming from different research labs with different viewpoints typically strengthen the ability of young researchers to communicate the value of their own work and to set their work more clearly in the broader context of the research field as a whole. The successful career of graduate students would be imperative to advance the state of the art in new algorithms and applications related to face, gesture, and body motion, leading to new capabilities in areas such as biometrics, interactive systems, surveillance, and healthcare.
