Time: Tuesday 6:25 –
9:05pm
Professor: Xin Chen, Ph.D. Senior Research Scientist at
NOKIA Location and Commerce (formerly NAVTEQ)
Description:
Geospatial information has become ubiquitous in everyday life, as
evidenced by on-line mapping services such as Microsoft Virtual
Earth/Bing Map, the recent addition of "place" features
on social network websites such as Facebook, and free navigation
on Nokia smart phones. Behind the scenes is digital map content
engineering that enables all types of location-based services.
Course material will be drawn from the instructor's research
experience at NAVTEQ, the Chicago-based leading global provider of
digital map, traffic and location data. This course will provide
comprehensive treatment of computer vision, image processing and
visualization techniques in the context of digital mapping, global
positioning and sensing, next generation map making, and
three-dimensional map content creations. Real world problems and
data and on-site industry visits will comprise part of the course
curriculum.
