We are pleased to announce that Mr QIN Qijun, an undergraduate student in the Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering, has been awarded the Merit Award in the Best URIS Research Project Award 2024. This prestigious award recognizes exceptional research projects that demonstrate outstanding achievements in the Undergraduate Research and Innovation Scheme.
Mr QIN's project, titled "A High-Definition Map with Traffic Signs Based on LiDAR-Visual-IMU Fusion SLAM Method," was supervised by Prof. WEN Weisong and Prof. HSU Li-ta. The project addresses a significant challenge in autonomous driving and intelligent transportation systems: the generation of high-definition (HD) maps for large-scale urban environments. His innovative approach merges semantic segmentation with SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithms, effectively utilizing data from LiDAR, cameras, and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors to create detailed 3D color scene. Key features such as lanes, traffic lights, and road signs are extracted and labeled through semantic segmentation, which are then integrated into the 3D scene to produce an HD map rich in labeling information.
This recognition is a testament to Mr QIN's hard work and dedication, and we congratulate him on this remarkable achievement. His innovative contributions are paving the way for future advancements in autonomous driving and intelligent transportation systems.
