October, 28. There were 82 people registered for the workshop from both industry and academia. Companies such as SkyOp, microdrones, Harris, Eagle Hawk, EnableUAV, Oak Ridge National Labs and even the Monroe County Water Authority were represented. Individuals from universities such as University of Guelph (Canada), Beijing Institute of Technology (China), Hobart and William Smith, Cornell, St. John Fisher, U of R, RIT and MCC were also in attendance.There were 11 oral and 6 poster presentations along with two keynote speakers, one from industry (i.e., Headwall Photonics in Boston) and one from academia (i.e., Rh). Student awards ($200 each) were given out for best paper (Ahmed Elshamli), poster (Dylan Cornell), and oral presentation (Ryan Ford). These awards were made possible by the generous financial contributions of EagleView-Pictometry.
The workshop was made possible, In part, by an IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) award won by RIT Research Professor, and general workshop chair, Emmett lentilucci. The award allowed for low registration fees for non-students while waiving registration fees for students. The workshop also received the technical co-sponsorship of the IEEE GRS Society which enabled hosting the event on the IEEE GRSS website, advertisement in the GRSS Magazine, and the ability to publish accepted full papers in IEEE Xplore.
Introduction
The emergence of low-cost and easy-to-use Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), commonly referred to as drones, has lead 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 workshop will bring together academics, industry representatives, and domain specialists to share perspectives on this rapidly evolving topic.
