Once again, SUNY ESF is hosting the Systems and Technologies for Remote sensing Applications Through Unmanned Aerial Systems (STRATUS) 2024 Conference on May 20-22, 2024, in Syracuse, NY.

The emergence of low-cost and easy-to-use Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), commonly referred to as drones, has led to an expansion 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 is the 7th conference of STRATUS that will bring together international academics, government, industry representatives, and domain specialists to share perspectives on this rapidly evolving topic. 

The Conference includes Keynote Speakers, Panels, Workshops, UAV Flight Demos, K-12 involvement, Oral and Poster Presentations, and Industry Exhibits. This event is sponsored by multiple organizations including IEEE.

 We are seeking abstracts in the following topics (UAS related):

• Environmental Mapping, Monitoring, and Modelling
• Remote Sensing
• 3D and Multi-view Imaging
• Platforms, Calibration, Sensor, and Imaging Systems
• Multi-sensor Data Fusion
• Technologies and Applications
• Algorithm and Image Processing
• Photogrammetry
• Policy, Public Perception, and Privacy Issues
• K-12 Education
• Applications focused on Upstate NY, Finger Lakes, and Lake Ontario Regions
• UAV Applications in Healthcare
