Research Interests

In general, I am interested in Computer Vision, Geomatics, and the interdisciplinary topics of Computer Science and Geomatics Engineering. A particular focus of mine is combining Computer Science with Geomatics to solve problems within each field, and to promote their disciplinary convergence. Currently, I am interested in developing methods and computational tools for information extraction, 3D mapping and modeling of real world environments using data acquired by different platforms with different sensors. Examples include airborne/spaceborne imaging using active sensors (e.g. LiDAR) and/or passive sensors (e.g. panchromatic camera), ground-based or vehicle-borne based sensing techniques (e.g. hand-held shooting, mobile mapping). An incomplete list of my interests is:

Computer Vision
: Large-scale Structure from Motion, Multiple View Geometry, and Stereo Vision; Object detection, recognition and tracking, segmentation, range data processing
Statistical methods and machine learning for Computer Vision and Geomatics: Computer Vision algorithms applicable to Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
Mobile Robotics

Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM), and 3D robot mapping

Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing

Feature extraction, data fusion, 3D mapping and change detection from high-resolution satellite imagery
real-time and close-range Photogrammetry

Geographic Information Science

Spatial data structure, spatial-temporal data mining, map matching, and Location Based Services (LBSs)

Graduate Courses

My reading lists for Ph.D. comprehensive exam cover topics in Computer Vision, Robotics, and Geomatics.

I took and audited graduate courses throughout the years for my Ph.D. studies.
