Dr. Ching-Chien (Jason) Chen is the Director of Research and Development at Geosemble Technologies. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Southern California for a dissertation that presented novel approaches to automatically align road vector data, street maps and orthoimagery. His research interests are on the fusion of geographical data, such as imagery, vector data and raster maps with open source data. His current research activities include the automatic conflation of geospatial data, automatic processing of raster maps and design of GML-enabled and GIS-related web services. Dr. Chen has developed various approaches to accomplish automatic vector to imagery and map to imagery conflation. His proposed techniques were published in some major GIS and spatial database conferences, such as SSTD 2003 and ACM GIS 2004. He has pending patents in the techniques for automatic vector to imagery integration and automatic map to imagery registration. He had also developed several GIS applications and GIS web services to support geospatial data integration and annotation in the imagery. He currently holds Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD) certification. |
