Dear Colleagues and Students,

The State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City would like to invite you to join our “IOTSC Talk Series” on 31/07/2024 (Wednesday). We are pleased to invite Prof. Ping SHEN from State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City as the speaker.

Low-cost urban flood monitoring and prediction without drainage network data: Application in Macao
Speaker: Ping SHEN
Date: 31/07/2024 (Wednesday)
Time: 15:00 – 16:00
Language: English
Venue: N21-5007 (Exhibition Hall)

Abstract:
Urban flooding remains a prevalent disaster globally, necessitating monitoring data and real-time prediction. However, (1) traditional water level sensors are costly and impractical for widespread deployment, and CV-based method is difficult for clear waterlogging condition; (2) Accurate prediction of spatiotemporal flood evolution is often impeded by incomplete or missing drainage data. In this talk two recent work addressing these issues will be delivered. (1) A refraction-based waterlogging depth measurement method is proposed where traffic camera images are the only required data. (2) A hybrid method combining a machine learning module and equivalent drainage module is proposed for fast and accurate flood prediction without using drainage network model.

Speaker’s Bio:
Dr. SHEN Ping is interested in rain-induced geological disasters and flood disaster monitoring techniques, mechanisms and mitigation, especially in combining advanced smart city technologies and practical demand in disaster mitigation.
