18 Jul 2024


Prof. John SHI Wenzhong, Director of the Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Smart Cities Research Institute (SCRI) and Chair Professor of Geographical Information Science and Remote Sensing in the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics, attended the 17th China Smart City Conference held in Changsha city, Hunan province, 18–19 July 2024, to give speeches on smart city index and geospatial artificial intelligence. He was also awarded the “2024 Smart City Pioneering Leader” at the Conference in recognition of his outstanding leadership and strategic vision in the field.

At the main forum of the Conference, Prof. Shi delivered a keynote speech titled “Urban Informatics and Smart City Index”, introducing the ISUI Smart City Index developed by his team, and sharing the ranking results and analyses of smart city development of China’ first-tier cities based on the index. He also gave a panel speech titled “Urban Perception Driven by Geospatial Artificial Intelligence” in the breakout session, introducing urban perception technology based on geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI), and explaining how the technology integrates geospatial artificial intelligence and geospatial science to enable remote sensing change detection and disaster mapping, and mobile mapping and digital twin construction.

In addition, the SCRI took part in the exhibition held during the Conference, showcasing innovations and technologies developed by the Institute, including 3D modelling and quality inspection of real scenes, laser point cloud data processing, landslide identification artificial intelligence systems, and building and road defect detection systems.


潘樂陶慈善基金智慧城市研究院院長兼土地測量及地理資訊學系地理資訊系統及遙感講座教授史文中,出席2024年7月18至19日於湖南省長沙市舉行的「第十七屆中國智慧城市大會」,就智慧城市指數和地理空間人工智慧發表演講。他亦於會上獲頒「2024年城市先鋒榜領軍人物」獎項,以表彰其於該領域的卓越領導力和戰略遠見。

在大會主論壇上,史教授發表了題為「城市資訊學與智慧城市指數」的主題演講,介紹了其團隊研發的「ISUI智慧城市指數」,並分享了依此指標對中國一線城市的智慧城市發展所進行排名與分析。他也在分論壇上發表了題為「地理空間人工智慧驅動下的城市感知」的主旨發言,介紹了地理空間人工智慧(GeoAI)城市感知技術,分享該技術如何透過人工智慧與地理資訊科學的深度融合,實現遙感變化檢測與災害製圖、移動測圖與數位孿生。

此外,潘樂陶慈善基金智慧城市研究院亦參與了大會期間舉行的展覽活動,展示了研究院研發的創新和技術,其中包括實景三維建模及品質檢測、鐳射點雲資料處理、人工智能山泥傾瀉預測系統,以及建築和道路缺陷檢測系統。
