Course Description

Course Introduction

Smart Earth supports   participation and communication between humans as well as human-machine and machine–machine interactions to provide IoT oriented intelligent services.

This course focuses on the development and use of   state-of-the-art emerging technologies,

and the applications and services of smart   Earth. This   course covers basic smart Earth 

 knowledge and current directions of research in smart Earth.

This course presents the   advances in smart Earth applications, which include

l Smart city;

l The birth of Qimingxing   and Luojia-3 satellites;

l Remote sensing natural disaster   monitoring and rapid response;

l Intelligent remote sensing;

l International cooperation   in remote sensing;

l Motion sensing in daily life;

l Intelligent localization   and perception for future development;

l Smart perception in forest   environment.

Objective

The aim of smart Earth is to make the world more   intelligent, and increase interactions among individuals, enterprises,   organizations, governments, and nature. Any interaction between them are   opportunities to improve performance, efficiency, and productivity. The   development of intelligent systems for smart Earth provides a more meaningful, and brand-new opportunity for us. Besides national defense and   national security, smart Earth will have a wide range of applications in all   kinds of work.

This course focuses on the development and use of   state-of-the-art emerging technology, and the applications and services of smart   Earth. This course covers basic smart Earth knowledge and current directions  of research in Smart Earth.
