Computer vision enables machines to “see”. The capability of machine vision based on cameras, however, is fundamentally limited to a certain field-of-view with good lighting conditions – they cannot see through any occlusions or in the dark.
Wireless sensing opens a new sense for machine perception to decipher the physical world, even in absolute darkness and through walls and obstacles.
It can capture human activities invisibly in a contactless and sensorless way.

The Law and Technology Centre, co-directed by Professor Kao, aims to advance research and provide public service in the interdisciplinary area of information technology and law. The current research focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into legal research and practice.

Optical Coherence Tomography is a spectrum-encoded, cross-sectional, and non-invasive imaging device. The future OCT would be able to image thicker samples more efficiently. Our novel and compact fiber laser has the potential to be used as a dual-comb source for more advanced imaging device.

This is a large-scale simulation platform for managing and controlling Hong Kong taxis. The simulator platform can be used to simulate the movements and trajectories of taxis for idle cruising, picking up passengers, and delivering passengers on a large-scale transportation network. The simulation platform is calibrated by a real dataset of Hong Kong taxis to ensure that the simulation well approximates the reality. This simulator is jointly developed by the teams of Dr. Jintao Ke at HKU and Prof. Hai Yang at HKUST. The simulation platform will be open for public use in the near future.

Digital twins virtually represent an object and accurately replicate its performance in reality with low cost. Digital design framework generally consists of three parts, i.e., modelling, optimization and manufacturing. By adjustment of microstructures, the performance of products can be maneuvered to achieve various optimization targets.

Garment industry needs to embrace flexible automation and robotics to lower cost and to enhance human productivity. As it is too complex to achieve full automation in garment production, collaborative works between robots and humans will be foreseen. The project demonstrates the feasibility of deploying multi-robots by combining computer vision and robotic technologies.

Hong Kong is a mega city and is developed on the mountains and hillside slopes and nearby the sea. Hence, slope engineering is very important to Hong Kong sustainability and development against landslide hazards in Hong Kong. The University of Hong Kong has developed a system called Drilling Process Monitoring (DPM) technique.
