On 26 April, a press conference was conducted at PolyU by Prof. John Shi, Chair Professor of LSGI and Director of Smart Cities Research Institute to share a number of cutting-edge patented technologies and research by his research group. These projects help address various societal issues, including the revitalisation of old buildings, slope safety, prevention and control of the COVID19 pandemic, and the construction of spatial data infrastructure, hoping to provide comprehensive solutions for smart city development in Hong Kong and the Nation.
The project Smart Cities Research Platform received a Gold Medal at this year’s Special Edition 2021 Invention Geneva Evaluation Days- Virtual Event.
Other research projects shared:
- Three-dimensional (3D) Mobile Mapping System: Providing accurate 3D maps to support wide smart city applications
- AI-based Landslide Recognition: Reporting landslide and facilitating disaster control
- Spatiotemporal Prediction of COVID-19 Onset Risk: To help public health agencies formulate more precise prevention and control strategies
