3D TREE MODELLING FOR LESS NOISE

3D TREE MODELLING FOR LESS NOISE

Announcing our latest publication, “Improving Traffic-noise-mitigation Strategies with LiDAR-based 3D Tree-canopy Analysis,” in Geomatics and Environmental Engineering journal (Vol. 18, No. 3, 2024)! This groundbreaking study explores how trees can be our green heroes, reducing traffic noise naturally.

Our team used cutting-edge LiDAR technology to create 3D models of tree canopies. We analyzed how trees’ leaves and structures absorb traffic noise.

We developed a new equation to measure noise reduction, integrating it with existing models. Our findings show that trees can reduce traffic noise by 1 to 3 dB(A).

LiDAR-based 3D visualizations provide accurate data for better urban planning. Tree belts and dense planting schemes are particularly effective in noise mitigation.

Our discoveries pave the way for greener, quieter urban spaces. Imagine strolling down a city street with less noise and more peace—thanks to thoughtful tree planting!

Join us in celebrating the power of nature and technology to improve urban living. Let’s make our cities not just smarter, but also greener and more serene!

THE MAGIC OF TOPOLOGY: CURRENT APPLICATIONS IN 3D GIS

THE MAGIC OF TOPOLOGY: CURRENT APPLICATIONS IN 3D GIS

Exciting News! Just unveiled our latest research on “Current Uses of Topology in 3D GIS: An Overview”!

Dive into the world of 3D GIS and discover how topology plays a crucial role in shaping the landscape of spatial data! Advances in data acquisition have paved the way for detailed and accurate information, and topology adds the magic touch by maintaining connectivity, adjacency, and containment.

Curious about the findings? We scoured SCOPUS databases for literature that delves into the marriage of “topology” and “3D GIS.” The result? A categorization of three main uses of topology: validation, data reconstruction, and spatial analysis/queries.

But that’s not all – We visualized the literature review using a network map, unveiling the connectivity and weightage between terms. Ready to explore the future of 3D GIS? Swipe through our publication for a captivating journey into the uses of topology! 

Your insights and discussions are invaluable! Let’s shape the future of spatial analysis together!

EXCELLENCE IN ACTION – NEVIL SHINES WITH A COMMENDABLE GRADE IN HIS VIVA VOCE!

EXCELLENCE IN ACTION – NEVIL SHINES WITH A COMMENDABLE GRADE IN HIS VIVA VOCE!

Thrilled to share the incredible achievement of my MPhil student from Sri Lanka, Nevil! He absolutely shone in his viva voce, securing a commendable grade with just one month of corrections.

In a concise one-hour session, including Q&A, he showcased his expertise impressively.

Nevil successfully completed his MPhil research under my supervision in just 1.5 years. His accomplishments include publishing three (3) journals (Q1 and Q3), presenting at four (4) Scopus international conferences, securing three (3) intellectual properties, and having three (3) additional journals under review. In the beginning, Nevil thought achieving all this was impossible, but I continually assured him that it was possible.

Now, he’s rightfully recommended for a merit by the examiners for his study! Huge congratulations, Nevil!

DURIAN CHEAT DAY

DURIAN CHEAT DAY

Treat my hardworking research lab postgraduate students and postdoctoral staff to a taste of the king of fruits, the Durian, today!

To my colleagues who do not know what is Durian, it is a tropical fruit known for its distinctive odor, often described as strong and pungent, which some people find unpleasant. However, its custard-like flesh is highly prized for its rich, creamy texture and unique flavor. It’s often referred to as the “king of fruits” due to its revered status in many Southeast Asian countries. Give it a try!

Taking time to acknowledge the team’s dedication and efforts in pushing the boundaries of our research is crucial. Excited for a productive session and indulging in delicious durians together!
