MSc.E Geomatics Engineering, University of New Brunswick,

BEng Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University,

Biography

Dr. Ruisheng Wang is a professor in the Department of Geomatics Engineering at the University of Calgary which he joined in 2012. Before that, he worked as an industrial researcher at HERE Technologies (formerly NAVTEQ) in Chicago, USA since 2008. His primary research focus there was mobile LiDAR data processing for next-generation map making and navigation. Dr. Wang holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from McGill University, an M.Sc.E.in Geomatics Engineering from University of New Brunswick, and a B.Eng. in Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing from Wuhan University, respectively. 

Research

Areas of Research

Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, Computer Vision

In general, I am interested in Geomatics, Computer Vision and interdisciplinary topics of Geomatics Engineering and Computer Science. A particular focus of mine is combining Computer Science with Geomatics to solve problems within each field, and to promote their disciplinary convergence. My research follows the themes of photogrammetry, computer vision, and remote sensing with a focus on mapping, especially point cloud processing. 

Specifically, my research areas of focus include development of intelligent algorithms and computational tools for information extraction, 3D mapping and modeling of real world environments using data acquired from different platforms with different sensors. Examples include airborne/spaceborne imaging using active sensors (e.g. LiDAR) and/or passive sensors (e.g. panchromatic camera), ground-based or vehicle-borne based sensing techniques (e.g. hand-held shooting, mobile mapping), and mobility data (e.g. GPS traces).
