Jointly Organized by CAD, AMC and EVD


Programme Highlights:

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are hot topics recently. While these technologies seem to be far away from real-life applications, a few of the A.I. and Robotics applications have been deployed in protection of our environment.

In this seminar, you will learn about how A.I and Robotics Technologies are helping our world in green economy. Topics that we will introduce includes:

- Using Drones to survey large areas (20,000 ha)

- City Scale 2.5D Terrain and Object Elevation Reconstruction using images only (No Lidar)

- How to load aerial survey maps that are 140 Billion Pixels in size on your Cell Phone (900x resolution of Google Earth)

- Artificial Intelligence for Tree Counting and Tree Health Analysis in large-scale Plantations

- A Vision Based WildFire Detection Robot for in Rural Areas
