Congratulations to Shaojun He Congratulations to Shaojun He, who successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation Integration of IMU and Visual Sensors for Astronaut Navigation on the Lunar Surface. Dr. He has accepted a position at Trimble in Denver, Colorado. Lab Staff Present Research Results at Annual ASPRS Conference Lab students and staff members will be presenting our recent research results at the annual ASPRS Conference held March 19-23 in Sacramento, California.
Congratulations to Toni Sukcharoenpong who successfully passed his Ph.D. candidacy exam March 5, 2012. Toni is now a PhD Candidate.  Shaojun He Presents Dissertation ResearchLab member Shaojun He successfully presented his dissertation research on December 2. He will receive his Ph.D. degree in March, 2012. Pictured are Dr. Alper Yilmaz, Shaojun, Dr. Ron Li, Dr. Carolyn Merry, and faculty representative Dr. Gerald Gregorek. Shaojun He Receives Duane C. Brown 2010 Junior Award Shaojun, a graduate research associate at the Mapping & GIS Lab and PhD Candidate, has been awarded the 2010 Duane C. Brown Junior Award. The Duane C. Brown Award was established to “promote and stimulate scientific activity in photogrammetry” at The Ohio State University. Annually, awards are made to a senior and a junior person, one “who has most successfully forwarded the cause of photogrammetry and strengthened the reputation of the Department of Geodetic Science and Surveying in the field of photogrammetry.” The senior award went to Dr. Brent A. Archinal of the U.S. Geological Survey (see his seminar here). New Honor for Dr. Ron Li Dr. Ron Li has just been elected as as ASCE Fellow. This election from the American Societyof Civil Engineers is a considerable honor. ASCE fellows are practitioners, educators, mentors, and most of all leaders. They have distinguished careers that have contributed significantly to the Civil Engineering profession. The accomplishments of Fellows have left their marks on their communities, society, and future engineering professionals. New Track in Civil Engineering The OSU Civil Engineering program has just announced a new MS and PhD track in Geoinformation and Geodetic Engineering that covers one or more areas of research using photogrammetry, image understanding, mapping, geographic information science, satellite geodesy, and remote sensing. Read the announcement here. The latest traverse maps for the Mars rovers: Spirit (as of Sol 2886) and Opportunity (as of Sol 2865). Spirit rover became stuck in the sand on Sol 1894 (May 2009). In January (2010) NASA turned the Spirit rover into a stationary science platform. Full size maps can be viewed by clicking on the appropriate image below.
