As the type and density of the remote sensing data continue to grow exponentially, Dr. Wufan Zhao and his AI4City Lab aim to help pioneer computationally efficient AI-based processing and modeling strategies to solve complex and practical urban problems by integrating the multi- dimensional/modal characteristics of big earth observation data.</p> <p>Our research is being conducted in two aspects. Firstly, a 3D city scene environment (including structured LoDs building models, infrastructures, land covers, etc.) reconstruction framework is being built on which any geo-referenced objects model at the instance level can be founded. Secondly, it is being studied how GIS, IoT data can be modeled in an nD way accordingly for specific application fields (e.g., built-environment, human dynamic, public health, urban climate, etc.)</p> <p>Our research is both mission- and impact-oriented. We integrate data analytics and modeling technologies to achieve specific goals and contribute to the public good. Whether we are developing a physical product, analyzing trends at micro and macro levels, or creating new processes for optimal efficiencies, our work is always focused on sustainable development of the urban environment.</p>UGOD Summer AI Symposium2025-07-09T00:00:00+00:002025-10-30T15:27:16+00:00https://suyunlei.github.io/ai4city-new/2025/07/09/ugod-aiJoin us at the UGOD Summer AI Symposium on July 9, 2025, at HKUST (Guangzhou). With the theme “Intersecting Futures: Human - Centered AI for Smart Cities,” professors from UGOD and other thrusts will give presentations on topics including Urban Computing and Cognition, Urban Mapping, Modeling and Visualization, Urban Design and Planning, and AI in Urban Systems.More details]]>wufan-zhaoSemantic Understanding of Multi-modal Remote Sensing Data2025-06-01T00:00:00+00:002025-10-30T15:27:16+00:00https://suyunlei.github.io/ai4city-new/2025/06/01/postWe have recently initiated a special issue on “Semantic Understanding of Multi-modal Remote Sensing Data” in The Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing (PE&RS) on an invitation basis.
