About Me

Olee Hoi Ying Lam

During my previous study in Information Engineering and Computer Science at Hochschule Rhein-Waal, I worked as a research assistant in a 3rd-party funding project known as SPECTORS. My research focused on developing software algorithms using machine learning techniques, object recognition, and remote sensing.

After my graduation, I joined the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry to develop an R package to support the application of plant trait data providing easily applicable functions for the basic steps of data preprocessing.

Now I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, focusing on early detection of potato diseases using hyperspectral imaging.

TRY Plant Trait Database

TRY is a network of vegetation scientists headed by Future Earth, the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, and iDiv providing free and open access to plant trait data for ecology and earth system sciences. The TRY initiative has integrated more than 400 datasets, including both original datasets and collective databases.

SPECTORS

This is a Dutch-German cooperation project is funded by INTERREG V-A Deutschland-Nederland, with the total fundable costs of SPECTORS amounts to approximately 9.8 Million Euro. The strategic initiative is High-Tech Systems and Materials focusing on ground-based as well as airborne remote sensing technology.

Thesis

MThesis_weed_map

An Open Source Workflow for Weed Mapping in Native Grassland using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

This thesis detailed the process adopted for the development and implementation of an open source workflow to map specific weed species in native grasslands using aerial RGB images. The research conducted was multidisciplinary in nature and was part of the SPECTORS Project.

BThesis_simulation_crop

Radar Signal Distortion caused by Directional Vibration of a
24 GHz FMCW System

This thesis is an initial attempt to investigate the influence of mechanical vibrations on the 24 GHz FMCW radar developed by IMST GmbH and develop a simple vibration compensation model for the human tracking algorithm.
