ABSTRACT:

Lately the use of UnmannedAerial Vehicles(UAVs) for remote sensing hasattackedattentiontoresearchers. 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 anumberofareas.Mostlythesecovermonitoringvegetation
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 areacharacteristics from mangroves toseagrasses to corals.Thetype
of sensors flown depends on theinstrumentsweightlimitation,sothat,dependingonthespecificationofthe 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 ofcoastalbody with limited ground controlpoints.Aerial photographswereacquiredatanestimatedof 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

Dear
Mr.Afriyie
,

We cordially invite you and yourcolleaguesto ACRS2015:The36thAsianConferenceonRemoteSensing,which

will take place on October 1923, 2015 at the Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria in Quezon City, Metro Manila,
Philippines. ACRS 2015 will represent amajoreventinthelong seriesofsuccessfulACRSconferences. Thetheme
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,policymakers,professionalsandpractitionersfrom

developed and developing countries from and around Asiatoshareinsightsintothechallengesandopportunitiesof
Remote Sensingandrelatedgeospatialtechnologies inbuildingresiliencyandencouraginggrowthanddevelopment
in Asia. The conference takes place at a significant moment when disasters and climate change continues to
negatively impactour peopleandthecommunity.Theconference,therefore, willprovidean outstandingopportunity
to learn how Remote Sensingwill help us build resiliencytothesedisturbances,andinstrengtheningourcapability
to adapt to stress and change. While addressing this issue, ACRS 2015 will also look into finding ways and
opportunitiesforRemoteSensing toencourageeconomicgrowthanddevelopmentinAsiancountries.Thesematters
will be discussed thoroughly duringthe plenary and thematic sessions, postersessions,workshops, and manyside
eventsofACRS2015.

Lastly,we are pleased to inform youthat2015is VISITTHE PHILIPPINESYEAR!Filledwith countlessthingsto

do, the Philippines is a melting pot of festivities, culture and adventure. So, we invite you to taketime andvisit
manyexcitingplacesinthecountrys7,107+islandsbefore,duringandafterACRS2015.

There are justso many thingstodointhePhilippines.Wearehopingthatyoucouldjoinusthis October2015,have

fun and make the conferencea success. For registration fee details and otherinformation, please visit our official
