Urban Mapping

We have been working on developing new technologies for mapping urban objects by using multi sensor data. To convert abundant multi sensor data to information, the data should be 'fused' at sensor level, data level and information level. Our research group has been investigating every aspects of the data fusion. Below are selections of published papers and presentations.
