China’s hyperspectral remote sensing helps start the digital, visual and intelligent construction of environmental monitoring

On October 23, the Aerospace Information Innovation Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced a significant event in the realm of environmental technology. The Fourth Symposium on New Technologies for Water Quality Hyperspectral Remote Sensing was held from October 21 to 22 in Tianjin. The conference highlighted the rapid advancements in China’s hyperspectral technologies, showcasing how hyperspectral remote sensing is advancing multidisciplinary approaches in space science to enhance water quality and ecological environment initiatives.

Focusing on the core theme of “Remote Sensing Technology Leading New Productive Forces in the Industry,” industry experts and academicians took to the stage to present and discuss the latest theories, methods, technologies, and practical applications in the field of water quality remote sensing.

The event also addressed the challenges and future opportunities facing hyperspectral and multispectral remote sensing technologies in critical sectors such as water conservation, environmental protection, agriculture, and industrial internet applications. Participants engaged in in-depth discussions aimed at propelling the development of environmental protection and remote sensing technologies in China to a new level, contributing to the advancement of “smart ecology” and innovation in the remote sensing industry.

The symposium was guided by the Chinese Remote Sensing Committee and co-hosted by Tianjin Zhongke Puguang Information Technology Co., Ltd., the Aerospace Information Innovation Research Institute, the Space Remote Sensing Professional Committee of the Chinese Space Science Society, and the Remote Sensing Geography Professional Committee of the Chinese Geographical Society. The event was chaired by renowned academicians, including Tong Qingxi and Xue Yongqi from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Pan Delu from the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Zhang Lifang and Yang Yide, both researchers at the respective institutions, served as the executive chair and secretary general of the conference.

Over 200 participants, including experts, scholars, and industry representatives from across the country dedicated to water quality remote sensing, attended the event.
