Survey Store
The surveying Laboratory continued to provide service of equipment maintenance and production of
special accessories in support of teaching and research activities in the department. The laboratory has
a variety of surveying equipment, including total stations, precise level instruments, GPS receivers,
hydrographic surveying systems, laser scanners, and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). A GPS base
station has been installed for many years to support student’s experiments. Currently, the department
is running a new stream on utility surveying and management. A new utility surveying lab is
establishing to support the research and teaching requirements for this new area.
Navigation Lab
This laboratory is jointly set up by Department of Land Surveying and Geo-informatics (LSGI) and
the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA). A number of NUAA staff and
students visited our department this year.
There are four main areas of research interest in the laboratory: Integrated Navigation Systems; GNSS
and positioning; and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Location based services (LBS). A
joint-supervised PhD student between LSGI and NUAA stayed in Hong Kong for a year, working on
the project of GPS software receiver. New algorithms based on a Kalman filter are developed for
pseudorange and carrier phase estimations. The results shows less than 1 m and a few mm
measurement precision can be achieved with pseudorange and carrier phase respectively.The Public
Transport Enquiry Service developed for the laboratory has been launched since April 2008, by the
Transport Department, HKSAR Government. The system has been widely used by the public,
averaging 2000 visitors and 30,000 page views per day. This consultancy project has been extended
for another year until early 2011. The laboratory is collaborated with the Department of Civil
Engineering to develop various systems for construction management, from early tracking system for
RMC plant, to new devices based on zigbee for construction resource tracking. A new regional
tracking system is under the development. The initial test results show the positioning accuracy of 2 m
can be achieved with WSN networks. Research is also carried out for other wireless communication
systems, i.e. mobilephone and WiFi.

varies survey instrument. One large format color ink-jet plotter (HP750C) is installed.
Geomatics Computing Lab
This lab is equipped with 51 sets of Dell Precision 360N workstation for general teaching and
learning in the department. Currently, the workstations are installed with Microsoft Windows XP
operating system and a diversified surveying and geomatics application software such as Matlab,
Leica Geo Office, Starnet, ESRI ArcGIS 9. Department is planning to upgrade the workstations in the
lab in the coming summer (mid-July 2010).
Geographic Information Systems Lab
Geographic Information Systems Laboratory is a multi-discipline laboratory for research and teaching
in the area of Geo-Informatics. The Lab covers the disciplines of geographical information systems
(GIS), remote sensing, virtual reality and database management systems. In GIS area, the Lab is
equipped with software such as Arc/Info 8.1 (three sets, including the major extension modules),
ArcGIS 9.2, Microstation and Idrisi. In the area of remote sensing, the Lab is equipped with
ER-Mapper 7.0 floating. Other software are Civil Inroads suite, Mathlab 6.1, Visual Studio 2005,
Ortho maker, Mono mapper, Stereo maker, Stereo mapper, Star-Net demo etc.
There are 16 PC workstations in the Lab. The workstations are Dell Pentium 4 CPU with 3.GHz and
with one Gbyte Ram installed. These workstations are linked to each other through network. Other
hardware includes an A0 size color HP 800psDesignJet and A4 double-sided printers.
17
Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Lab
This lab is equipped with a range of photogrammetric and laser scanning hardware and software, and
software for remote sensing. Photogramemtric hardware includes a two-projector Multiplex, a radial
line plotter, 20 Sokkia mirror stereoscopes and parallax bars, a Zeiss P3 analytical stereoplotter with
CADMap software, an Intergraph PhotoScan TD and ImageStation, two high performance PCs. The
lab also owns a collection of digital SLR cameras and a selection of lenses and flash units. Software
includes licenses for LPS, DDPS from 3DMapper and PhotoModeler. For laser scanning there is a
CYRAX 2500 and a ScanStation with 10 licenses of Cyclone software. Remote sensing software
includes products from ERDAS, ERMapper and PCI. There are 10 PCs dedicated for the use of
students undertaking coursework or project and dissertation work using the photogrammetric, laser
scanning and remote sensing software.

The goal of this programme is to provide education and training so that graduates can properly
function as geomatics technologists working in the areas of land surveying and geo-information
technology. Geomatics technologists are employed under professional direction in both private and
public geomatics related activities performing day-to-day duties. The programme satisfies the
academic requirements for Associate Membership of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineering
Surveyors (HKInstES). It is also supported by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS) and
various Government Departments such as the Survey and Mapping Office, the Highways Department.
Besides, progression to second/third year degree programmes of similar disciplines is recognized by
many local and overseas universities.
The programme has two specialisms: Land Surveying and Geo-Information Technology. Graduates
from the Land Surveying stream will be trained chiefly to work in the fields of land and engineering
surveying whilst those from the Geo-Information Technology stream in the fields of GIS, cartography,
remote sensing and information management.

Project Description
This was a service trip to a remote part of Guizhou, China. Students from
Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics built 3D models for some local
famous tourist posts in an old town using the skills and knowledge learnt
in classrooms, and students from other disciplines such as marketing,
tourism management, English, etc, collected and edited the relevant tourist
information. The project hoped to promote the old town and attract more
tourists so as to boost the towns economy and enhance the quality of life of
the townspeople. Besides, PolyU students also taught the pupils of a
local primary school how to read maps and how to introduce their
hometown in English. Classes and group activities were also organized
for two local primary schools to stimulate the pupils’ interest in studies and
widen their horizons.

Student’s Learning Experience on Chinese Mainland - Study Tour in Qingdao
Early 2011, 31 LSGI students of different years joined a China Study Tour to Qingdao,
Shangdong 2011 during 9 to 14 January, 2011. The tour was leded by Dr. George Liu, Ms.
Alice Cheng and Mr. Adam Yau.
During the 6-day tour, the students visited The First Institute of Oceangraphy, SOA.（國家海
洋局第一海洋研究所）, Shandong University of Science and Technology（山東科技大學）
and Ocean University of China（中國海洋大學）.
Apart from the academic institutions, we visited some Qingdao historical and cultural
interests, such as Zhanqiao Pier, Granite Castle, Badaguan Scenic Area, Mount Lao of
Qingdao. One thing to deserve being mentioned is that we have visited The Site of China Sea
Level Datum, which is the China's zero sea-level marker at Silver Sea Big World. The marker
is the benchmark for China’s national height system.

Mini-Symposium of Remote Sensing of Urban Enviornment of ICSU 2010
15-17 December 2010
The Conference aims to provide a forum for the international scientific community to
examine the challenges posed by the massive urbanization programmes under way in many
parts of the world and to find effective solutions to achieve sustainable development,
operation and management of urbanized areas. The three main sub-themes of the
Conference are Infrastructure, Energy and Environment.
During the conference, a half-day Mini-Symposium on Remote Sensing of the Urban
Environment was organized and chaired by Professor Janet NICHOL of LSGI.
The mini-symposium was split into two sessions. The first focused on applications of
remotely-sensed data within studies of the urban environment. The second was centred on
the development of remote sensing techniques for the collection and interpretation of data for
urban environments.
The keynote speaker for the first session, Dr Gilbert Rochon, Purdue University, USA opened
the symposium with an insightful presentation on the development of Earth observation with
respect to urban studies, including the integration of remotely-sensed imagery with ancillary
spatial datasets for urban analysis. Dr Rochon also highlighted the need for research
collaborations using remote sensing to focus on developing nations, where current rapid
growth and urbanization mean that urban sustainability is a pressing issue. Other
presentations in the session introduced studies on a range of interesting topics including a
number on the urban heat island effect and urban ventilation in Hong Kong.
The second session of the afternoon was opened by keynote speaker Professor Paolo Gamba,
University of Pavia, Italy who presented a methodology for the use of multispectral and
hyperspectral remote sensing for urban mapping applications. This set the stage for the
remainder of the session, where presentations introduced development of various techniques,
including my own entitled, “An Evaluation of Thermal Earth Observation for Characterising
Urban Temperature Dynamics”. The symposium was without doubt a success and provided
an invaluable opportunity to present and engage with members of the urban remote sensing
community. Such was the intensity of discussion at the end of the symposium, participants
and presenters were invited back to the nearby Department of Land Surveying and
Geo-Informatics to continue discussions further. A special edition of the International
Journal of Remote Sensing is currently being developed from the work presented during the
mini-symposium.

International Cartographic Association (ICA) Workshop on Theories of Map Design in
Digital Era (23 and 24 September 2010)
More than 30 international participants from about ten countries attended the ICA Workshop,
held by the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics of PolyU on 23 and 24
September 2010, on the PolyU campus.
The workshop, on the theme “Theories of Map Design in Digital Era”, was jointly organized
by PolyU and the ICA Commission on Theoretical Cartography. Its opening ceremony was
officiated by Prof. Alex WAI, Vice President (Research) of PolyU, Prof. William
CARTWRIGHT, President of ICA, and Mr. Chunghang WONG, Deputy Director of Lands
Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
The opening ceremony was followed by two keynote speeches, one by Prof. CARTWRIGHT
and the other by Prof. Deren LI, Academician, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese
Academy of Engineering. There were more than 30 plenary speeches and group discussions
which were grouped under six sub-themes, namely:
Special session in memory Jacques BERTIN,
Cartographic theory and philosophy,
Theory of map design,
Communication and information theory,
Semiotic and symbolization,
Concepts and models.
The ICA Workshop is a valuable platform for researchers on several counts: to discuss
state-of-the-art research, problems and issues in the theories of map design in the digital era;
to present advanced theories and cutting-edge technology; and to exchange ideas and promote
international collaborations.
Over the past 50 years, ICA has a tradition of co-organizing international workshops with
local universities so as to promote the exchange between local professionals and international
experts. The organization of the 2010 workshop under the joint efforts of PolyU and ICA
was a valuable opportunity for Hong Kong professionals to share their knowledge and
experiences with many international attendees.
