Speech by Gao Zhan, deputy director of Shenzhen Bureau of Industry and Information Technology

Gao Zhan, deputy director of the Shenzhen Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, said in his speech that Shenzhen regarded the ocean as a strategic point for high-quality development and a “blue ocean” for expanding economic development space under the guidance of the thoughts of General Secretary Xi Jinping on building a maritime power. As a pioneer in reform and opening up, Shenzhen has seized the major historical opportunity of “dual-zone drive”, bravely shouldered the lofty mission of piloting comprehensive reforms, strived to build itself into a global marine center city in an all-round way by the middle of this century, and become a pioneer in demonstrating its comprehensive marine strength and global influence. He hoped that the Shenzhen Association for Satellite IoT Industry will work together with member companies to improve the strength and depth of scientific and technological innovation in the marine industry and help Shenzhen build a global marine center city.

Shenzhen Association for Satellite IoT Industry

Zhang Yiping, President of Shenzhen Association for Satellite IoT Industry, said in his speech that Shenzhen has gathered a group of outstanding innovative technologies, professionals, scientific research institutions and innovative service carriers in the field of satellite R & D and manufacturing and the IoT, with a high industrial maturity and a complete industrial chain. Shenzhen Association for Satellite IoT Industry is a non-profit social organization founded by more than 50 organizations, including CIMC Group, Sunsea AIoT Technology, Aerospace Dongfanghong, SATELLINK, China Mobile IoT, Huaxun Ark, and Aerospace Innotech, in accordance with the current innovative development need of aerospace technology and the deployment of “new infrastructure” such as IoT, Satellite Internet, and 5G. The Association adheres to the initial intention of public welfare and takes application as the driving force to build a comprehensive service platform for industrial innovation integrating resource sharing, collaborative innovation, talent training, industrial research, industrial application and incubation acceleration, so as to build an industrial ecology and achieve innovation leadership. At the present time when the State has entrusted Shenzhen with the mission of a new era, the Association will firmly grasp the historical opportunity of building Shenzhen into a pioneering demonstration zone and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Great Bay Region, bravely take responsibility and dare to innovate, and help Shenzhen build itself into a global marine center city in an all-round way.

Keynote Speech by Gong Jianya, academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, dean of School of Remote Sensing Information Engineering of Wuhan University, surveying and mapping and geographic information scientist

In his keynote speech, Gong Jianya said that the high-resolution Earth Observation System has been listed as one of the 16 major national science and technology projects, and the high-resolution satellite has the observation load covering visible light, infrared, multi-spectrum, hyperspectral, microwave, laser, etc., and it achieves high spatial resolution, hyperspectral resolution, high temporal resolution and high-precision observation capability, and serves for business applications and scientific research. He introduced the application of high-resolution series satellites in the investigation and monitoring of coastal zone, aquaculture, sea ice and water environment and other marine resources, and the application of remote sensing technology in the monitoring of islands, reefs, oil platforms, mangroves and coastlines in the South China Sea.

Keynote Speech by Wang Jianyu, academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, vice chairman of Chinese Society of Space Science and vice chairman of Environmental Branch of The Geographical Society of China

In his keynote speech on “The Development of Space Laser Communication and Its Application in the Ocean”, Wang systematically introduced the concept of space laser communication, the development demand of ocean information, the present situation and future development trend of ocean laser communication. He said that space laser communication is a technology that uses laser beam as carrier to directly transmit information in space, and it is a necessary means to solve the future high-speed data transmission in space. With the proposal of accelerating the construction of a maritime power in the reports of 18th National Congress and 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the development of marine exploration, military affairs, biology and other science and technology puts forward higher requirements for information transmission. It is difficult for the existing long-wave and underwater acoustic communication means to meet the increasing demand of underwater communication. However, underwater wireless optical communication takes blue-green light/laser as the carrier, and the information is modulated and loaded on it and transmitted at a high speed. The receiver extracts and restores the information through photoelectric detection system so as to realize the efficient transmission of information. He also analyzed the research situation in related fields in the United States, Japan and China, and pointed out that it will be the future development trend to realize the networking of high-performance terminal platform and data relay with ocean information network.

Keynote Speech by Zhang Xinchang, academician of International Eurasian Academy of Sciences and professor of School of Geographic Science and Remote Sensing of Guangzhou University

In his keynote speech of “Detection and Acquisition of Multi-source and Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Ground Object Data Change Driven by Deep Knowledge Learning”, Zhang introduced that the classification, recognition and extraction of land use by the means of remote sensing images have become an important research field of spatial information science and computer vision technology for a long time since the launch of remote sensing satellites, and the same is true for going to the ocean. With the rapid development of remote sensing earth observation technology, people have been able to collect sub-meter or even centimeter-level remote sensing images with high spatial resolution, and the popularity of airborne LiDAR technology has enabled us to obtain refined ground geometry and elevation data. He also gave an in-depth explanation on the study and application of deep learning technology, and shared the achievements of Zhuhai Intelligent Processing Project of Remote Sensing Images.

Keynote Speech by YU Ya, Senior Consultant of CIMC Group

In his keynote speech of “Digital Application of Marine Ranching”, Yu said that the digital and intelligent technology of marine aquaculture is the inevitable way in order to increase the increment of offshore aquaculture and comprehensively develop the ocean, while CIMC’s deep-sea ranching is fishery production based on the industrial concept. He focused on the introduction of the large-scale marine ranching complex “Marine Harvest No.1” designed and built by CIMC Raffles. Because of its unique structure composed of three aquaculture cages, it looks like an 80-meter-in-diameter sea flower blooming in the waves and is known as the “Sea Flower”. The cultivation volume of each petal of Marine Harvest No.1 is about 10,000 cubic meters, and the total cultivation volume is 30,000 cubic meters. Aquaculture cages are powered by solar power generation and diesel power generation, equipped with automatic feeding systems, underwater monitoring systems, underwater net-washing machines, etc., so as to realize automation, intelligence and pollution-free aquaculture. It can not only reduce the labor force dramatically, but also ensure the high quality of fishes.

The founding ceremony of Shenzhen Association for Satellite IoT Industry was held at the meeting, and the medals/Plaques were conferred to president, vice-president, director organizations, supervisor organizations, secretary-general and special experts and consultants respectively, and the unveiling ceremony of Research Institute for Satellite IoT Industry was held. Based on the Association, the Research Institute for Satellite IoT Industry provides soft services such as industry research, analysis reports and declaration of projects, and meanwhile, it provides incubation acceleration and project landing services for outstanding innovative enterprises and entrepreneurial teams, so as to help the transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, and promote the cross-border integration, collaborative innovation and integrated application of aerospace satellite technology.
