The Smart Cities Research Institute (SCRI) successfully hosted a research seminar featuring two distinguished scholars, Prof. LIU Yu (Peking University, China) and Prof. YANG Bisheng (Wuhan University, China). The seminars covered the topics of “Spatiotemporal Big Data–Driven Social Sensing” and “Autonomous Sensing and Intelligent Mapping”, respectively.
During the event, Prof. LIU presented his research on leveraging spatiotemporal big data to enable social sensing, highlighting how large-scale data can be used to understand human behavior, urban dynamics, and societal patterns.
Prof. YANG, in his seminar, focused on the advancements in autonomous sensing technologies and intelligent mapping. He discussed the development of automated data acquisition systems and their applications in high-precision mapping, as well as the growing role of artificial intelligence in enhancing mapping efficiency and accuracy.
The seminar concluded with engaging Q&A sessions, where attendees had the opportunity to interact with both professors and explore the implications of their research for smart city development and geospatial innovation. SCRI looks forward to continuing to foster academic exchange and advancing research in these cutting-edge areas.
