ABSTRACT
This document shows the required format and appearance of a Proceedings Paper for the 30th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing (CSRS). You must follow the instructions contained in this document. Cut and Paste your text and figures into this file. There are no pages charges and you may use colour freely. This template is intended for use with MiscroSoft Word, however the Rich Text Format (RTF) is compatible with other software. Do not alter the font type or size, spacing, margins or any other document formats. The full paper should not exceed 12 pages. Leave the header and footer blank, and do NOT use page numbers. These will be added during final production of the Conference Proceedings. If unsure about a detailed formatting question, make a decision. If lost, ask us and we’ll help.

1 Introduction
Regarding font, follow the examples in this document for the various components of the paper. This is primarily Times, and Times New Roman. The title is 16 pt Arial (bold). If these fonts are not available, use a similar font.  Normal text has a font size of 10 point, for which the actual height of a capital E is about 2.4 mm (7 pt.) and the line-to-line spacing is about 4.2 mm (12 pt.). The font attributes for other parts of the document are summarised in Table 1 and are described in the following sections. Normal text should be justified to both the left and right margins. Number sections and sub-sections as shown here. Position figures and tables in the next, near to where they are first referred to. Place captions below the figure or table, and ensure the caption is on the same page (i.e. not on the following page – use page breaks). The margins of this template should be set to 1” on the sides, and 1” on top and bottom of each page. 

Article title	16 pt., bold, centered Arial	
Author names, affiliations	12 pt., normal, centered	
Section heading	11 pt., bold, centered (all caps)	
Subsection heading 	11 pt., bold, left justified	
Sub-subsection heading	10 pt., bold, left justified	
Normal text	10 pt., normal	
Figure and table caption	9 pt., normal	
Footnote text	9 pt., normal	

Table 1. 	Fonts sizes to be used for various types of text.  All fonts are Times New Roman or an equivalent (except Title). Table captions should be positioned below the table. When the caption is too long to fit on one line, it should be justified to be indented on the left and flush right, as shown here. 

2 parts of manuscript
This section describes the normal structure of a manuscript.  The appropriate vertical spacing between various parts of this template is achieved in MS Word by using the required paragraph spacing for each entry in the style list.  Care must be exercised in using these styles to obtain the desired format. At times it may be desired, for formatting reasons, to break a line without starting a new paragraph.  This situation may occur, for example, when formatting the article title, author information, or section headings
2.1 Title and Author Information
The article title appears centered at the top of the first page.  The title font is Arial 16 point, bold.  The rules for capitalizing the title are the same as for sentences; only the first word, proper nouns, and acronyms should be capitalized.  Avoid using acronyms in the title, unless they are widely understood.  Consider the possibility that people outside your area of expertise might read your article, and that you want them to understand your paper.
The list of authors immediately follows the title after a blank space. The font is 12 point, normal with each line centered.  The authors’ affiliations and addresses follow the author list after another blank line, also in 12-point, normal font and centered. Avoid long addresses.  For multiple affiliations, each affiliation should appear on a separate line.  Use superscripts to identify the correspondence between the authors and their respective affiliations. An e-mail address follows the corresponding author. Sometimes an author has multiple affiliations. Use the superscript numbers accordingly.
When the title or author information is too long to fit on one line, multiple lines may be used; insert line breaks (Shift-Enter, or Shift-Return) appropriately to achieve a visually pleasing format.  Avoid using a carriage return (Enter or Return) in these fields because that will introduce excessive space between lines. This MS Word template automatically inserts the correct blank vertical space between the title, author list, and affiliations by specifying space after each field, indicated by the end of paragraph, which is introduced with a carriage return.
2.2 Abstract and Keywords
The title and author information is immediately followed by the Abstract.  The Abstract should concisely summarize the key findings of the paper.  It should consist of a single paragraph containing no more than 250 words.  The Abstract does not have a section number.  A list of up to eight keywords should immediately follow the Abstract after a blank line.
2.3 Body of Paper
The body of the paper consists of numbered sections that present the main findings.  These sections should be organized to best present the material.  See Sect. 3 for formatting instructions. Footnotes are discouraged, but if essential must not be placed in the footer of the document (instead, place at the bottom of the regular available space on the given page).
2.4 Appendices
Auxiliary material that is best left out of the main body of the paper may be included in an appendix, for example, derivations of equations, proofs of theorems, and details of algorithms.  Appendices are ordered and identified with upper-case letters in alphabetic order (i.e. Appendix A, Appendix B etc.), and appear after the Acknowledgments and References.
2.5 Acknowledgments
In the Acknowledgments section, appearing just before the References, the authors may credit others for their guidance or help.  Also, funding sources may be stated.  The Acknowledgments section does not have a section number.
2.6 References
The References section lists books, articles, and reports that are cited in the paper.  It does not have a section number.  The references are numbered in alphabetical order according to the surname of the first named author. Examples of the format to be followed are given at the end of this document.  
3 SECTION formatting
Section headings are left-justified and formatted completely in upper case 11-point bold font.  Sections should be numbered sequentially, starting with the first section after the Abstract.  The heading starts with the section number
Paragraphs that immediately follow a section heading are leading paragraphs and should not be indented, according to standard publishing style.  The same goes for leading paragraphs of subsections and sub-subsections.  Subsequent paragraphs are standard paragraphs, with 14-pt. (5-mm) indentation.  There is a 5-pt. space between all paragraphs.  In this MS Word template, this spacing is accomplished by including a 5-pt. space after each paragraph.  Note that the indentation of a paragraph may be avoided in this MS Word by changing it to a leading paragraph.
3.1. Subsection Attributes
The subsection heading is left justified and set in 11-point, bold font.  Capitalization rules are the same as those for book titles.  The first and last words of a subsection heading are capitalized.  The remaining words are also capitalized, except for minor words with fewer than four letters, such as articles (a, an, and the), short prepositions (of, at, by, for, in, etc.), and short conjunctions (and, or, as, but, etc.).  Subsection numbers consist of the section number, followed by a period, and the subsection number within that section.
3.1.1 Sub-subsection attributes
The sub-subsection heading is left justified and its font is 10 point, bold.  Capitalize as for sentences.  The first word of a sub-subsection heading is capitalized.  The rest of the heading is not capitalized, except for acronyms and proper names. 
4 figures and tables
Figures are numbered in the order of their first citation.  They should appear in numerical order and on the same page or after their first reference in the text.  Alternatively, all figures may be placed at the end of the manuscript, that is, after the Reference  section (or Appendices, if any).  It is preferable to have figures appear at the top or bottom of the page.  Figures, along with their captions, should be separated from the main text by at least 0.2” or 5 mm. 

Figure 1. 	Figure captions are used to label the figure and help the reader understand the figure’s significance. The caption should be centered underneath the figure and set in 9-point font.  It is preferable for figures and tables to be placed at the top or bottom of the page.

Figure captions are centered below the figure or graph.  Figure captions start with the figure number in 9-point bold font, followed by a period; the text is in 9-point normal font; for example, “Figure 3.  Original image…”  See Fig. 1 for an example of a figure caption.  When the caption is too long to fit on one line, it should be justified as shown above.
Tables and their captions are handled identically to figures. 
In this MS Word template, the caption style specifies a normal 9-point font, consistent with the requirement for the caption text.  The author needs to make the figure number bold.  The author also needs to supply the figure numbers in the order of reference in the body of the paper.  The same goes for tables.  It may be necessary to move figures or tables within the text layout to achieve a satisfying appearance.

appendix a.  miscellaneous formatting details
It may be useful to refer back (or forward) to other sections in the article.  Such references are made by section number.   When the section reference starts a sentence, Section is spelled out; otherwise use its abbreviation, for example, “In Sect. 2 it was shown that…” or “In Section 2., a description was provided…”.  References to figures, tables, theorems, etc. are handled the same way.
At the first occurrence of an acronym (unless it is widely known), spell it out, followed by the acronym in parentheses.  
A.1 Formatting Equations
Equations may appear inline with the text, if they are simple, short, and not of major importance; e.g.,  = b/r.  Important equations appear on their own line.  Such equations are centered.  For example, “The expression for minus-log-posterior is
 = |y - A x|2 +  log p(x)  ,					    (1)
where  determines the strength of …”  Principal equations are numbered, with the equation number placed within parentheses and right justified.  
Equations are considered to be part of a sentence and should be punctuated accordingly. In the above example, a comma appears after the equation because the next line is a subordinate clause.  If the equation ends the sentence, a period should follow the equation.  The line following an equation should not be indented unless it is meant to start a new paragraph.  In this MS Word template, indentation of a standard paragraph is avoided by changing it to a leading paragraph.
References to equations include the equation number in parentheses, for example, “… as per Equation (1).” or “Combining Eqs. (2) and (3), yields the final formula shown in Equation (4).”
A.2 Formatting Theorems
To include theorems in a formal way, the theorem identification should appear in a 10-point, bold font, left justified and followed by a period.  The text of the theorem continues on the same line in normal, 10-point font.  For example, 
Theorem 1.  For any unbiased estimator…
Formal statements of lemmas and algorithms receive a similar treatment.
