Call for Abstracts
2021 Stratus Conference
Systems and Technologies for Remote Sensing Applications Through Unmanned Aerial Systems (STRATUS)
May 17-19, 2021
http://stratus-conference.com
Center for Tomorrow, University of Buffalo, Buffalo, New York, USA
Overview:
The emergence of low-cost and easy-to-use Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), commonly referred to as drones, has led to an explosion of their use for numerous applications. In particular, these new platforms have enabled new imaging and earth remote sensing technologies and applications previously unavailable due to the high cost of manned aircraft or satellites. This event is the 4th conference of STRATUS that will bring together academics, industry representatives, and domain specialists to share perspectives on this rapidly evolving topic.
Conference Modality: Hybrid (in-person attendance is contingent upon NY State COVID-19 regulations).
Pre-Registration is encouraged at the conference website: http://stratus-conference.com
Abstract Submission should be made through https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=stratus2020
Abstracts must be written in English and should not exceed 250 words. Abstracts should include title, authors’ contact information, and abstract body. The abstract can be presented either orally or as a poster. Please indicate in your submission your preference for a poster or oral presentation.
Awards:The program will include Student prizes for the best presentation and poster!
