Profile

     Xin Huang received the Ph.D. degree in photogrammetry and remote sensing in 2009 from Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.

    He is currently a Luojia Distinguished Professor of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, where he teaches remote sensing, photogrammetry, image interpretation, etc. He is the Founder and Director of the Institute of Remote Sensing Information Processing (IRSIP), School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University. He has published more than 130 peer-reviewed articles (SCI papers, inclduing NSR, RSE, ES&T, IEEE TGRS, ISPRS-J, with 5100+ Google cholar citations and 3000+ SCI citations) in the international journals. His research interests include remote sensing image processing methods and applications.

     Prof. Huang has been supported by The National Program for Support of Top-notch Young Professionals (2017), the China National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars (2015),  the Foundation of National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation of China (2012), and the New Century Excellent Talents in University from the Ministry of Education of China (2011). He was the recipient of the Boeing Award for the Best Paper in Image Analysis and Interpretation from the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) in 2010, the second place recipient for the John I. Davidson President’s Award from ASPRS in 2018, and the National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award of China in 2012. In 2011, he was recognized by the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) as the Best Reviewer of IEEE GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LETTERS. He was the winner of the IEEE GRSS 2014 Data Fusion Contest.

      Prof. Huang was the lead guest editor of the special issue on information extraction from high-spatial-resolution optical remotely sensed imagery for the IEEE JOURNAL OF SELECTED TOPICS IN APPLIED EARTH OBSERVATIONS AND REMOTE SENSING (vol. 8, no.5, May 2015), and the lead guest editor of the special issue on Sparsity-Driven High Dimensional Remote Sensing Image Processing and Analysis for the Journal of Applied Remote Sensing (vol.10, no.4, Oct 2016). He serves as an Associate Editor of the Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (since 2016), an Associate Editor of the IEEE GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LETTERS (since 2014), and an Associate Editor of the IEEE JOURNAL OF SELECTED TOPICS IN APPLIED EARTH OBSERVATIONS AND REMOTE SENSING (since 2018). He is also an editorial board member of the Remote Sensing of Environment (the Top-1 jourrnal in remote sensing) since 2019 and editorial board member of the Remote Sensing (An open access journal from MDPI) since 2018.

       Prof. Huang won the first prize of technological invention of the Ministry of Education (ranked 6, 2019), the first  prize for Scientific and Technological Progress in Surveying and Mapping (ranked 1, 2018), first prize of Natural Science in Hubei Province (ranked 2, 2016), first prize of Natural Science in Hubei Province (ranked 5, 2011). His methods and theories have been sucessfully used in China's GF-1/2, ZY-3 satellite data processing platform, the French Space Agency satellite processing platform, applied in global mapping, geographic monitoring, South-to-North Water Transfer and other large-scale national projects.
