Bormin Huang-- the Professor of SSEC in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Visits NEIGAE

Invited by the Changchun Jingyuetan Remote Sensing Test Site of the CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences) , on July 7-July 9, Bormin Huang, the leading researcher professor of SSEC (Space Science and Engineering Center) in the University of Wisconsin-Madison visited our NEIGAE (Northeast Institute of Geography and Agricultural Ecology).

 

Professor Huang got his doctor’s degree of the University of Michigan in 1991. Since 2005, he has served as the chairman of meetings about satellite data compression and communication in SPIE, the person in charge of scientific research projects about compression of multiplied hyperspectral images both in NOAA and NASA, and one of the leading scientists of American next-generation projects about the meteorological satellite data compression. What’s more, professor Huang is also in charge of many programs concerning the application of high-efficiency computing GPU to satellite remote sensing.

 

On July 7, professor Huang delivered an academic report titled “Ground based Hyperspectral Remote Sensing”. The report aroused a heated discussion among participants. In the end, professor Huang answered the questions put forward by present teachers and students patiently and exchanged ideas with them deeply and extensively.

 

On July 8, professor Huang visited the new park of our institute and gave a detailed guidance for the planning of tested ground of the Jingyuetan Remote Sensing Test Site. In the afternoon, he had a view of the Changchun Jingyuetan Remote Sensing Test Site located in Jingyuetan Park, after which he made a detailed arrangement for the next researching focus, interactive communications and cooperating to issue scientific achievements etc.
