The seventh STRATUS conference, was held at the facilities of SUNY in Syracuse at the College of Environmental Science and Forestry from May 20 – 22. Headwall is one of the original sponsors of this important event in the Northeast (and beyond!) for remote sensing using drones. The name STRATUS stands for Systems and Technologies for Remote Sensing Applications Through Unmanned Aerial Systems.
Dr. Carson Roberts presented a talk on Day One entitled “The Effects of Calibration on Spectral Classification of Hyperspectral Imagery” and afterwards hopped a plane to the Florida Keys were the Headwall remote-sensing team worked with the Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium on hyperspectral scanning of coral in onshore tanks and from above the ocean. Stay tuned for more on this mission!
