CS Colloquium: Baoquan Chen (Shandong University) - 3D Urban Sensing and Visualization

Speaker: Baoquan Chen, Shandong University

Talk Title: 3D Urban Sensing and Visualization

Series: CS Colloquium

Abstract: 3D modeling of urban environments starts to play an increasingly important role in the emerging technologies from self-driving car to augmented reality. Beyond helping a human or a vehicle navigate, 3D urban models provide a base for spatially registering otherwise chaotic urban data, both sensor sensed and user generated, for better 'mapping' of urban big data. In this talk, I will introduce our decade long effort on acquiring and modeling large urban environments as well as analyzing and visualizing urban activities. I will also discuss future developments in this direction.

Biography: Baoquan Chen is a Professor and Dean (CS & Software) of Shandong University. Prior to the current post, he was the founding director of the Visual Computer Research Center, Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a faculty member at CS&E at the University of Minnesota at Twin Cities. His research interests generally lie in computer graphics, visualization, and human-computer interaction. Chen received PhD in CS from SUNY@Stony Brook, and MS in EE from Tsinghua. He received NSF CAREER award in 2003 and IEEE Visualization Best Paper Award in 2005. Chen served as conference chair of IEEE Visualization 2005, and more recently SIGGRAPH Asia 2014.
