理大潘乐陶慈善基金智慧城市研究院团队获2021年皇家特许测量师学会香港年度大奖肯定 (只有英文版本)

(只有英文版本) The Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Smart Cities Research Institute (SCRI) - 3D Mobile Mapping System Research Team has been highly commended by the judging panel in the Research Team of the Year category in the 2021 Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Awards Hong Kong ! The RICS Award showcase the most inspirational initiatives and developments in land, real estate, construction and infrastructure. They recognise outstanding achievement, teamwork and companies. This year’s entrants have been responsible for some of the biggest projects Hong Kong has seen to date – including delivering for clients during COVID, fostering better workplaces for occupants, creating diverse workplaces, boosting the sustainability of projects through the use of technology and working to fight against the impacts of climate change. Apart from the 13 winners, the research team in SCRI was one of the highly commended teams who judges felt deserved special recognition. They developed a lightweight and reliable 3D mobile mapping system (mobile mapping backpack), which can easily measure cities and obtain 3D maps with centimeter-level accuracy. It can be used to build spatial data infrastructure and can thus support smart city applications in many fields. The system adopts advanced technologies such as Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM), which is not restricted by the signal receiving area of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). It can carry out continuous data collection in different complex indoor and outdoor environments and is particularly suitable for high-density and complex urban environments, such as those in Hong Kong. Congratulations to SCRI and the team!

「杰出创科学人计划」表扬两位理大学者 (只有英文版本)

(只有英文版本) Professors Qingyan Chen and Qihao Weng, two members of the PolyU Academy for Interdisciplinary Research (PAIR), were recently awarded the prestigious “Global STEM Professorship” by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Professor Chen joined the PolyU in August 2021 as the Director of PAIR and Chair Professor of Building Thermal Science in the Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering. He is a fellow of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the International Society of Indoor Air Quality (ISIAQ), and the International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM). Prior he joined PolyU, he was Professor, Vincent P. Reilly Professor, and James G. Dwyer Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University, USA from 2002 to 2021. He is an Editor-in-Chief of journal “Building and Environment.” Prof. Weng joined the PolyU in July 2021 as Chair Professor of Geomatics and Artificial Intelligence in the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics. He is a Foreign Member of the Academy of Europe (Academia Europaea), and a Fellow of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) , American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS), and (Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association) AAIA. He worked as the Director of the Center for Urban and Environmental Change and a Professor at Indiana State University, USA before joining PolyU. He is an Editor-in-Chief of ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. The objective of the “Global STEM Professorship” scheme is to strengthen support to Hong Kong universities to attract world-renowned innovation and technology scholars to work in Hong Kong. This would aid the universities to scale new heights in teaching and research activities and to expand the innovation and technology talent pool of Hong Kong. In the long run, the scheme is expected to build up the universities’ capacities in commercialising and applying their research discoveries, to encourage technology and knowledge transfer to serve the community and spearhead innovation and technology development in Hong Kong.   Congratulations to Prof. Chen and Prof. Weng!
