Vehicles (UAVs) for remote sensing has attacked attention to
researchers. This can be attributed to its low cost and feasibility
to automate flight commands along a set of waypoints. The use of
unmanned aerial vehicles has shown promise lately in a number of
areas. Mostly these cover monitoring vegetation and soil health,
agriculture, forestry and land use. Little is being done related to
coastal management or aquatic monitoring. Most of the remote
sensing researches attributed to coastal monitoring and management
are usually satellite based or Compact Airborne Spectrographic
Imager (CASI). UAVs can fly in place of piloted aircraft to gather
remote sensing information on coastal area characteristics from
mangroves to seagrasses to corals. The type of sensors flown
depends on the instruments weight limitation, so that, depending on
the specification of the UAV, it is possible to acquire videos,
aerial photographs, multispectral and hyperspectral radiometric,
LiDAR, and radar dataetc.This review paper study utilizes UAV with
a small digital camera for a medium scale coastal mapping. The
first objective of this study is to investigate the use of light
weight first person view (FPV) raptor UAV for mapped image of
coastal body with limited ground control points. Aerial photographs
were acquired at an estimated of 60% forward lap and 40% sidelap
specifications. The second objective is to determine the accuracy
of the photogrammetric output. It is expected that this survey will
provide guidelines for future remote sensing project using low cost
digital aerial images. Also the results from this study will serve
as an input for further analysis to

INVITATION7/13/201513:52:33Mr.EmmanuelAfriyie
UniversityofthePhilippines,LosBanosPhilippinesDearMr.Afriyie,We
cordially invite you and your colleagues to ACRS 2015: The 36th
Asian Conference on Remote Sensing, which will take place on
October 1923, 2015 at the Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria in Quezon
City, Metro Manila, Philippines. ACRS 2015 will represent a major
event in the long series of successful ACRS conferences. The theme
of the conference is Fostering Resilient Growth in Asia. It is
jointly organized by the Asian Association on
RemoteSensing(AARS)andthePhilippineGeosciencesandRemoteSensingSociety(PhilGRSS).ACRS
2015 will bring together students, researchers, scientists, policy
makers, professionals and practitioners from developed and
developing countries from and around Asia to share insights into
the challenges and opportunities of Remote Sensing and related
geospatial technologies in building resiliency and encouraging
growth and development in Asia. The conference takes place at a
significant moment when disasters and climate change continues to
negatively impact our people and the community. The conference,
therefore, will provide an outstanding opportunity to learn how
Remote Sensing will help us build resiliency to these disturbances,
and in strengthening our capability to adapt to stress and change.
While addressing this issue, ACRS 2015 will also look into finding
ways and opportunities for Remote Sensing to encourage economic
growth and development in Asian countries. These matters will be
discussed thoroughly during the plenary and thematic sessions,
poster sessions, workshops, and many side eventsofACRS2015.Lastly,
we are pleased to inform you that 2015 is VISIT THE PHILIPPINES
YEAR! Filled with countless things to do, the Philippines is a
melting pot of festivities, culture and adventure. So, we invite
you to take time and visit
manyexcitingplacesinthecountrys7,107+islandsbefore,duringandafterACRS2015.There
are just so many things to do in the Philippines. We are hoping
that you could join us this October 2015, have fun and make the
conference a success. For registration fee details and other
