From June 16 to 18, Professor Xu Baodong and his students and team members were invited to the 6th National Academic Forum on Quantitative Remote Sensing in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. The conference aimed to exchange the latest progress, discuss the direction of development, and foster academic collaboration on the theory, technology, and application of quantitative remote sensing.

In the sub-forum on Agriculture and Land Remote Sensing, teachers and students from different schools presented the latest research progress in the fields of resource environmental protection and utilization, carbon reduction and green development, and food security. MARI student Wei Haodong reported on “Remote Sensing Recognition of Rice and Shrimp Fields at Multiple Scales Based on Topological Relationships and Phenological Window,” demonstrating the characteristics of rice and shrimp fields and the optimal phenological window for recognition.

In the sub-forum for graduate students, students from different organizations presented the applications and needs of remote sensing data in the fields of public security, natural resources, ecological environment, urban and rural construction, water conservancy, agriculture, emergency response, forestry and grassland, meteorology, and oceans. Among the participants, MARI student Zhang Zhewei reported on the topic of “Improving leaf area index inversion by reducing the impact of leaf chlorophyll content and saturation effect based on the red-edge wave band.”
