Special Session: Advances in Optical Image Processing and Remote Sensing Monitoring
Optical image processing and remote sensing monitoring play a crucial role in our lives, helping us achieve accurate monitoring, evaluation, and decision-making. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and 5G, the application of optical and remote sensing technology is also being redefined, such as placing information within reach through real-time monitoring, diagnosis, and ultra wide-band communication of data networks. This session will introduce the innovation of sensing devices based on optical remote sensing and related technologies such as image enhancement, classification, multi-source data fusion and analysis based on deep learning, in order to improve the accuracy, flux and efficiency of monitoring. We will also discuss the application of innovative algorithms in the real world and how to address challenges such as noise reduction, super-resolution, and automatic feature extraction. By promoting interdisciplinary, cross disciplinary, and cross-border cooperation, this theme aims to accelerate technological innovation, expand the capabilities of optical remote sensing monitoring, and ensure efficient access to reliable data and accurate analysis in areas such as sustainable agricultural development, climate environment adaptation, and natural disasters response.
This session focuses on exploring the next generation of optical imaging technology and artificial intelligence driven remote sensing technology, as well as their applications in fields such as agriculture. Unlike other sessions, this session emphasizes efficient real-time processing of information, multi-modal data fusion, and edge AI applications, which are crucial for modern remote sensing applications. This session will pay special attention to many directions of multi-sensor fusion (various optical sensors, LiDAR, IoT), which can break through the barriers of traditional technology and achieve precise monitoring of some inaccessible areas. In addition, this session will also focus on introducing emerging issues or challenges in the current development of disciplines, such as developing lightweight deep learning models for drone monitoring and interpretative artificial intelligence for environmental diagnosis, ensuring collaborative research and application with academia and industry. This session will introduce some influential research and applications in the fields of smart agriculture, smart cities, or smart climate, such as AI-driven spectral imaging that can detect the quality of agricultural products, nutritional deficiencies in farmland plants, or environmental quality assessment. Therefore, by integrating cutting-edge research in optics and remote sensing technology, this session can promote deeper discussions and cooperation between academia and industry, and drive innovation in optical image processing and remote sensing monitoring.
