Faculty People


Selected as the university to carry out the Innovative Human Resources Development project for Smart City in 2019 (from 2019 to 2023) by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Korea Agency for Infrastructure Technology Advancement (KAIA), Seoul National University plans to carry forward the training of core professionals necessary for industrial revitalization and expansion to the overseas market with the specialized education program reflecting the need of the smart city industry. In order to train the core professionals, we have newly set up the Smart City Engineering Program in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and enhanced the linkage with the undergraduate courses by utilizing diversity of the participating professors of seven Departments (Dept. of the Civil and Environmental Engineering, Dept. of the Computer Science and Engineering, Dept. of the Architecture and Architectural Engineering, etc.). *The number of participating professors will be increased in the future.

Kim, Yong Il Full Professor

Remote Sensing Laboratory

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object and thus in contrast to in situ observation. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technologies to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and oceans) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation).

RS Lab has been researching satellite sensor modeling, satellite image processing, satellite image interpretation, photogrammetry, GPS, LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) and surveying. Major areas of recent technology development are 3D modeling using LiDAR, change detection using satellite data, 3D information of building extraction using high resolution satellite images, and Solar irradiance assessment. And these research results are widely used in various fields such as urban planning, exploration of resources, forest resource management, disaster management.
