Summary
Scene modeling of a geo-specific environment is a challenging task, as it requires the recovery of accurate geometry and reflectance of the scene, to the degree that it can be used in simulation and synthetic environment. In this talk, I will introduce various research efforts at the Geospatial Data Analytics Lab at The Ohio State University, with focuses on applications of scene modeling through photogrammetric 3D reconstruction using satellite images, mesh reconstruction, inverse rendering under the context of geospatial images.
Keynote Speaker
Rongjun Qin is an Associate Professor (with Early Tenure Promotion) in Geomatics and Computer Vision at The Ohio State University, U.S. He received Ph.D. from the ETH Zurich in Photogrammetry, and holds a master’s degree in Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, and bachelor's degree in Computational Mathematics from Wuhan University. His research interest lies in the intersection among Photogrammetry, Computer Vision and Remote Sensing, with specialization on 3D reality based modeling using multi-modality and multi-source data. He is the author of the RPC stereo processor (RPC), a satellite photogrammetry package that produces large-scale and high-quality digital surface models for multi-view satellite images. Rongjun Qin serves as an associate editor for the ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, the Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing journal, and the editorial member of the Photogrammetric Record journal. He was the chairing the ISPRS working group of “Satellite Constellation for Remote Sensing” (2016-2022), and now is the Commission Secretary supporting the ISPRS Commission II Presidents (2022-2026). He is also an IEEE Senior Member. His awards include the first prize of Mathematical Modeling Contest 2009, winner of IARPA Topcoder 3D challenge, winner of IEEE Data fusion contest (2019,2020), ASPRS Talbert Abrams Grand Award, Duane Brown Senior Award, ISPRS CATCON Silver Award etc.
