Samsung Lim

Associate Professor Samsung Lim teaches GIS in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UNSW, Sydney, Australia. Samsung’s main research interests are threefold: GIS, lidar and remote sensing. Samsung’s publications in GIS include spatial and temporal fire occurrence patterns using landscape attributes such as climate, terrain and land use to develop a better understanding of wildfire occurrence across Australia, identifying the most significant attributes linked to fire occurrence, effective flood emergency plans and response measures, integration of spatial analysis and an agent-based model for shelter assignment and routing in flood scenarios, and risk analysis methods to flag epidemics for urgent intervention. Samsung’s publications in lidar and remote sensing include deep learning from multispectral/hyperspectral images, data fusion of lidar point clouds and multispectral/hyperspectral images, spatial information extraction from lidar data, UAV imagery and aerial/satellite imagery for data segmentation and classification, digital elevation modeling, feature extraction, building edge detection, change detection, and monitoring environmental changes. Samsung is a national delegate of Commission 3, International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) and a senior member of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
