Project Introduction:

The reliability of big data is becoming important in smart city construction. Theanalysis of big data has become a basic theoretical problem that needs to be addressed urgently.The projectwillresearch the basic theoretical problem.  

In recent years, the research teamhas achievedbreakthroughs in reliable time-spatial big data analysis andundertaken a key research project oftheMinistry of Science and Technology andresolved theproblem of data liability and quality in China’s first geographical surveywhen asked by the State Counciland won the special prize atthe2017 Survey Science Advancement Awards.

In the field ofremotely sensingbigdata with higher accuracy and reliability, the team undertook the project of National Natural Science Foundation andusedforward satellite image algorithm, which was widely publicized by NASA.The project made surveyingchanges in cloudy areasover the Earth’s surfacemore reliable andresolvedlong-standingproblems inthesurveyfield. In basic theory transformation, the team set uptheHong Kong spatial data infrastructure system and established spatial data modeling for Hong Kong and Macao, and technological standards for Macao spatial space quality inspections.
