<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:72.0pt;mso-add-space:auto">
3D maps of urban environments are crucial for urban planning, real estate and the monitoring and prediction of environmental issues affecting cities. This project is concerned with the development of advanced urban 3D mapping technologies involving existing
satellite imagery sources, and low cost drone technologies including standard camera technologies or 360 degree camera systems mounted on drones. It is envisioned that this project would involve the development of cutting edge computer vision systems involving
advanced machine learning techniques. This may include machine learning to stitch 3D data from a variety of modalities or the use of machine learning to extract 3D information from satellite and 360 degree drone imagery.<o:p></o:p></p>

Satellite imagery has a wide variety of uses and the potential to help improve the productivity of agriculture and the effectiveness of urban management. This project is concerned with the use of advanced machine-learning based computer vision techniques to
classify and analyse images of the environment in Vietnam and other countries. This may involve computer vision for the analysis of water usage, rice production, forest clearing activities, urban development or other applications.<o:p></o:p></p>
