Li Deren, an academician of China Academy of Sciences and China Academy of Engineering, was recently nominated as the candidate of scientific figures in China in 2008.

China Science and Technology and Economic Forum and Scientific China People's Annual Person Selection have been successfully held for six consecutive years, which is an annual event with professional quality and important influence in China's scientific and technological circles. In the previous six sessions, nearly 200 outstanding scientists, scholars and technology entrepreneurs, including Yuan Longping, Zhang Ruimin, Yang Zhenning, Qian Xuesen, Shi Changxu, Wang Yongzhi, Ye Xin, Bai Chunli and Huang Boyun, who have made outstanding contributions to China's scientific and technological progress, won the People of the Year Award.

Brief introduction of Academician Li Deren:

Li Deren —— Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Director of the Academic Committee of Wuhan University, and former President of Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping.

Biography: Male, 1939, born in Tai County, Jiangsu Province. Academician of China Academy of Sciences, Academician of China Academy of Engineering, Academician of International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing scientist, Ph.D., University of Stuttgart. He used to be the president of Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping and the chairman of the third and fourth committees of the International Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Committee. He is currently the director of the Academic Committee of Wuhan University, a professor and doctoral supervisor, the director of the State Key Laboratory of Surveying and Mapping Remote Sensing Information Engineering, the vice chairman of the Chinese Surveying and Mapping Society, the vice chairman of the China Image and Graphics Society, the vice chairman of the Environmental Remote Sensing Branch of the Chinese Geographical Society, the member of the expert group of the National Remote Sensing Center, the vice chairman of the Hubei Association for Science and Technology, and the chief scientist of Wuhan China Optical Valley.

Reason for selection: After the Wenchuan earthquake, Li Deren, an academician of the two academies and a professor of Wuhan University, led the researchers. By comparing and analyzing two satellite radar images before and after Dujiangyan earthquake, it is concluded that the suspected damaged area of houses in the earthquake area accounts for at least 14.8% of the total area of the city, which greatly improves the efficiency and saves time for the state to organize earthquake relief and post-disaster reconstruction. Academician Li Deren has made outstanding contributions in the field of spatial information science and technology represented by remote sensing (RS), global positioning system (GPS) and geographic information system (GIS). Today, the whole world is using Li Deren's theory to correct its own aerial survey adjustment system.
