Mutisale analysis from remote sensing
Le Wang, assistant professor of Texas State geography, Ph.D. from berkley, give us a presentation about his research work today.
The presentation introduces his current research:
- Mutiscale forest characterization from remote sensing: extracting
the ecological index such as diameter, height and so on. Using such
method, he carried out research about mangrove classification nearby
Mexico Bay. - The inbreak of saltceder (also called tamarisk, a type of shrub
which need a lot of water and cause the soil saline) along the Rio
Grande. - How to extract population amount from remote sensing in Texas.
All of these works need high and coarse resolution together. By the way, the IKONOS image usually cannot fit the research and higher resolution images (such as Quickbird) are needed. We can see the distance about the research advance between them and us. Also, Mr Wang said that not only is the depth of research important, but also the breadth. We should present the audience a whole picture about your work, not the method, but the story at the same time.

[…] 2006 CPGIS Young Scholar Workshop:Environmental change,globalization,and human health. CPGIS中文全称是海外地理信息科学协会，这次的Workshop主要由中青年海外学者和国内学者各6名组成，内容涉及主要是环境变化，全球化和健康等方面，均为应用性很强的东西，比如血吸虫病(schistosomiasis)的综合风险分析和防控，传染病时空建模，大型公共场所人员疏散模型研究，人口分布与生态系统承载力以及健康环境风险探测等等。 上周听了Univesity of Texas State的Wang Le老师对自己研究的一些介绍(From Hedgehog)，感觉他们研究做得很细，深入同时实用性也很强。国外有的研究在国内根本就没有环境可以做，或者有的研究国内没有那么好的条件，因此去看看他们的研究进展还是很有意思的。听这些正值当打之年的学者的讲座，有时候比听那些出名已久的院士的讲座更有意义。 Workshop从7.31正式开始，到8.4结束。 […]
