At the invitation of Professor TamasJancso, Vice President of the Faculty of Geoinformatics, University of West Hungary, RADI research fellows MENG Qingyan, SHAO Yun, ZHANG Xia and Dr. WANG Chunmei recently paid a visit to the University of West Hungary to advance the “Integrated geo-spatial information technology and its application to resource and environmental management towards the GEOSS”, a Sino-Hungarian intergovernmental cooperation project.

As one of the specially-invited experts, Prof.Meng Qingyan attended “GIS Open 2014” on April 17, and delivered an academic report entitled “Urban Green Space Remote Sensing Retrieval with LIDAR and Multi-spectral Satellite Data”. The RADI delegation also visited the Faculty of Forestry, University of West Hungary, where MENG Qingyan, SHAO Yun and ZHANG Xia each made a report on the development of space-based Earth observation systems in China and their applications in ecological environment monitoring, on the mechanism and application study of radar remote sensing, and on the processing methods and recent applications of hyper-spectral data, respectively.

Jointly initiated by RADI and the University of West Hungary, the “Integrated geo-spatial information technology and its application to resource and environmental management towards the GEOSS” project aims to, through bilateral cooperation, study the quantitative retrieval of urban ecological environment spatial information and its evaluation model and construct a methodology and analytical model for collecting such information.

MENG Qingyan made an academic report at “GIS Open 2014”.
