The Chengdu University of Information Technology (CUIT,), formerly the Chengdu Meteorological College, is a provincial public university in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. The university is affiliated with the Province of Sichuan, and co-sponsored by the China Meteorological Administration and the Sichuan Provincial Government.[1]
CUIT is a leading university in the scientific research and technological application of the interdisciplinary integration of atmospheric science and information technology, and a member of the CDIO Initiative world organization.[2] Since 2004, CUIT has begun educating reserve army officers for the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force, the strategic and tactical missile forces of the People's Republic of China.[1]
In recent years, CUIT has been granted 123 state-level scientific research projects including National Science and Technology Plan, National Natural Science Fund projects, and National Social Science Fund projects, obtaining science and technology funds about 58.2 million RMB annually; 46 provincial and ministerial science awards, two of which are National Science and Technology Progress Awards (second class); 3315 academic papers have been published, with 910 articles cited by the important retrieval system SCI, and over 100 articles on influential journals from both in and abroad.[3]
CUIT has eight key provincial and ministerial laboratories (including Sichuan Engineering and Technological Research Center, Sichuan key Research Bases for Philosophy and Social Sciences), seven key laboratories supervised by universities and Research Bases for Humanities and Social Sciences, and one post-doctoral research station. CUIT has reached advanced world standards in the research of a new-type weather radar system, China Doppler weather radar of a new generation, atmospheric radiation and satellite remote sensing, weather dynamics and dry monsoon, environmental system analysis and environmental monitoring & evaluation, computer and software, information security, and E-commerce.[3]
Chengdu University of Information Technology was established in 1951 named Southwest Air Force Meteorological Training Brigade for People's Liberation Army. It was renamed Chengdu School of Meteorology in 1956 and Chengdu Institute of Meteorology in 1978 under the direct administration of China Meteorological Bureau. Since transferred to the direct administration of Sichuan People's Government and renamed Chengdu University of Information Technology in 2000, CUIT has developed into a multidisciplinary university with 53 different majors in 17 schools.[3]
Provincial key laboratory of Sichuan province, established in 2001.
Ministerial key laboratory of National Bureau of Statistics of China, established on June 9, 2004.
Ministerial key laboratory of China Meteorological Administration, established on November 18, 2005.
Provincial key laboratory of Sichuan province, established in December 2006.
Provincial key laboratory of Sichuan province, established in October 2010.
Research area of the research center consists of meteorological radar, surface meteorology observation and application, multi-source meteorological data fusion, lightning monitoring and early warning, concentrating on meteorological radar signal processing, meteorological radar data quality control and calibration technique, weather radar network composite and synergistic observation, surface meteorology factor gathering tech and facility development, multi-meteorological data process, satellite remote sensing, lightning detection and early warning technology etc.
The field of research center includes directions of medical image processing, machine vision and information visualization, computational intelligence. Mainly engages in realms of image theory and application, image information visualization modeling, image segmentation, intelligent principle of visual cognition, machine intelligence cognitive neural model analysis, multimodal brain and spinal cord magnetic resonance image analysis (structure, diffusion, magnetic resonance spectroscopy and functional magnetic resonance imaging) and other researches. Since its establishment in 2016, the center has published more than 10 high-level scientific research papers (all SCI retrieval), successfully applied for two natural science funds, six provincial and ministerial research projects, and more than 10 patents of invention.
The institute integrates research with design, facing the Robot and Intelligence Equipment supply chain. According to its development, research foundation, research findings accumulation, platform condition and the trend of discipline orientation, CUIT Robot and Intelligence System International United Research Institute will cooperate with EZLS Lab of University of Siegen on launching the scientific research on intelligence environment sensation technology, mobile robot self-positioning navigation technology, medical robot, and intelligence computation (artificial intelligence).
