Projects Research Program

Development of software platform for remote sensing & image applications; Geographic information systems (GIS) and database technology.

Hyper-spectral remote sensing image processing, spatial data analysis, modeling, and visualization.

Radiative transfer modeling for atmospheric correction, and bio-optical modeling for retrieving water quality parameters.

Dr. Hu’s research involves bio-optical modeling and analysis in solving problems in geology, hydrology, ecology and botany. He is also interested in image processing techniques and software platforms for remote sensing applications, geographical information system (GIS), and computer cartography. At present he focuses his research on the development and implementation of algorithms for hyper-spectral imagery calibration and classification, target detection and identification, multi-temporal and multi-source data analysis. He has participated in several research projects aiming to develop remote sensing methodologies for detection and identification of minerals and rocks, extraction of biochemical and biophysical properties of vegetation and soils, and retrieval of water quality data.
