A training course on Remote Sensing and Machine Learning was successfully held by Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) on 18, 19, and 23 August with 20 staff from the Lands Department, HKSAR Government participated.
The participants explored engaging topics on remote sensing and machine learning under the guidance of Prof. Qihao Weng, Chair Professor of LSGI and Director of the JC STEM Lab of Earth Observations and his research team.
On 18 Aug, Prof. Wu Chen, Head of LSGI, gave a welcoming speech to tick start the training. While Prof. Xiaoli Ding, Director of Research Institute for Land and Space (RILS), presented the training certificates to participants at the end of training.
During the three-day training, participants learned about the fundamental of artificial intelligence, how to apply their knowledge and skills in the lab exercises, as well as developed their sense of solving remote sensing related issues in a deep learning fashion.
The training equipped the participants with knowledge about deep learning and critical thinking skills for remote sensing engineering problems, so as to prepare themselves for new opportunities and challenges to excel in their careers.
