Prof. WENG Qihao, Associate Director of RILS, Director of RCAIG, and Chair Professor of Geomatics and Artificial Intelligence of LSGS, participated in the International Conference on Remote Sensing and Geoinformation (RESG2026), held from 15 to 18 October 2026 in Beijing, China. Invited as a Plenary Speaker, Prof. Weng delivered a plenary address entitled “Next-Generation GeoAI and Urban Remote Sensing: Unifying Visual-Spatial Intelligence and Urban AI Security for Sustainable Cities.”
The plenary presentation focused on the emerging convergence of Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI), Urban Remote Sensing, Visual-Spatial Intelligence, and Urban AI Security. The presentation examined how next-generation GeoAI technologies are reshaping the interpretation and utilisation of Earth observation data and supporting new approaches to urban observation, analysis, and decision-making.
Prof. Weng discussed the growing integration of artificial intelligence, geospatial analytics, and remote sensing technologies, highlighting their applications in urban environmental monitoring and sustainable urban development. The presentation also explored the role of visual-spatial intelligence in understanding complex urban systems and addressed the increasing importance of Urban AI Security as cities become more reliant on AI-enabled technologies and geospatial data infrastructures.
