I am an assistant professor at School of Geospatial Engineering and Science, Sun Yat-sen University. My research interests are photogrammetry, spatial analysis and view planning, aiming at planning paths for UAVs to achieve more complete and precise 3D reconstruction. I got my Doctor of Engineering degree from College of Surveying and Geo-informatics, Tongji University in 2020, under the supervision of Prof. Chun Liu. During 2018-2019, I worked as a joint PhD student at Institute for Photogrammetry, University of Stuttgart under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Norbert Haala.

Research

My current research is about the mission planning of UAVs for airborne data acquisition, including geometry reconstruction and spectral sensing. I am doing the optimization of flight path, and collaborative planning as well, to increase the effieciency of UAV data acquisition.

1. Gigapixel panoramas capture planning. Panoramic image acquisition planning for arbitary focal length using single gimbaled camera.
2. Ground feature oriented path planning. A ground feature oriented path-planning methodUAVs mapping feature-poor area like water or snow.
3. Model based 3D planning. Path planning for UAV complete and precise 3D reconstruction based on the analysis of a priori model.
4. Path planning for Multi-spectral imaging. Path planning for multi-spectral imaging of river network.
5. Flight path optimization and collaborative planning UAV flight path optimization method based on energy cost, and parallel task allocation and scheduling for multiple UAVs.
