In a recent effort, researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have unveiled an unprecedentedly detailed dataset illuminating the complex network of water bodies sprawled across the Tibetan Plateau. Unlike previous studies, which primarily zoomed in on larger water bodies, this dataset paints a holistic picture by furnishing a high-resolution map of water bodies, pinpointing details down to a remarkable 2-meter precision for the year 2020.

Researchers from the State Key Laboratory of Transducer Technology with the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed an improved algorithm called Dynamic Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization (DQPSO) to improve the accuracy and reliability of pressure sensors used in tracking and monitoring wild migratory birds. This algorithm optimizes the performance of a Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network, specifically designed for temperature compensation.

A significant advancement in the field of remote sensing of China has emerged, as researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), unveiled their latest product – the "AIR·RingSee" integrated machine for remote sensing intelligence training and inference on October 26, 2023.

In the arid regions where desertification threatens dryland ecosystems, scientists from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have taken a closer look at the intricate relationship between natural factors and human activities on non-vascular plants, particularly biological soil crusts (BSCs) in China.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Junbo from the State Key Laboratory of Transducer Technology with the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) introduced a novel simulation-based evolutionary method for the design of parameter-free MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) structures. This innovative approach aims to maximize the degrees of freedom in MEMS design, opening the door to more efficient and adaptable microscale structures.

A recent study employed polygonal flight paths along the hemisphere to measure Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) for ground-based objects, even at large zenith angles and all azimuth angles. The study was published in Remote Sensing on Oct 18, 2023.
