Last week, the urban modeling group’s senior researcher, Dr. Anh-Vu Vo, traveled to the Netherlands to take part in GeoDelft. GeoDelft combined the ISPRS Technical Commission (TC) IV symposium, the 3D GeoInfo conference, the 3D Cadastres workshop, and the 3rd International Conference on Smart Data and Smart Cities. Dr. Vo delivered a talk on A 6-dimensional hilbert approach to index full waveform LiDAR data in a distributed computing environment at the ISPRS TCIV symposium.
“I had the pleasure to meet all the people working on the frontline of spatial data, urban data integration, and 3D data visualization in Europe,” said Dr. Vo, “to me personally, it was also a trip to catch up with many fellows in TU Delft’s Department of OTB (particularly in Prof. Peter van Oosterom and Prof. Sisi Zlatanova’s teams) whom I met and worked with during my 2-month visit to TU Delft 4 years ago. It was also great to see some of my PhD works in point cloud data management strategies under Prof. Laefer’s supervision is providing some insight and inspiration to some current PhD students in TU Delft.”
Continued engagement with the international remote sensing and mapping community remains a key priority for NYU CUSP’s Urban Modeling Group; we look forward to the 2019 ISPRS TCIV symposium.
UCD PhD candidate, Mr. O’Keeffe, spoke at NYU MAGNET on March 24, 2017 discussing new methods of viewing large portions of massive remote sensing datasets through low cost VR headsets.
