Introduction to the Lecture

With the development of Earth observation, navigation and positioning, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, the means of geo-information acquisition has arrived at a new stage of Air-Space-Ground integration and ubiquitous perception of physical and social information. How to build a new infrastructure for real-time, on-demand and comprehensive geo-information intelligent perception has become a key challenge for major national projects in smart cities, smart basins and other areas. This report focuses on the unitary integrated perception of ternary perception in information physics society, analyzes the progress of ubiquitous perception of geo-information at home and abroad over the past 20 years, expounds the theory, technology, standards and software and hardware platforms of collaborative perception of geo-information completed by the team under the support of the National 973 Program and the National Key R&D Program, introduces the typical applications in informatization of the Yangtze River basin and the construction of smart cities in China, and looks forward to the future research direction.
