Placement: Tables and Figures must be placed in the appropriate location in the document, as close as practicable to the reference of the figure in the text. While figures and tables are usually aligned horizontally on the page, large figures and tables sometimes need to be turned on their sides. If you must turn a figure or table sideways, please be sure that the top is always on the left-hand side of the page.
Captions: All captions should be typed in upper and lower case letters, centered directly beneath the illustration. Use single spacing if they use more than one line. All captions are to be numbered consecutively, e.g. Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Table 1, Table 2

3.4 Equations, symbols and units
Equations: Equations should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper. The equation number is enclosed in parentheses and placed flush right. Leave one blank line before and after equations. E.g.
 (1)
Where c is focal length, x, y are image coordinates, X0, Y0, Z0 are coordinates of projection center, X’, Y’, Z’ are object coordinates in ground coordinate system.
Symbols and units: Use the SI (Systeme Internationale) Units and symbols. Unusual characters or symbols should be explained in a list of nomenclature.
3.5 References and/or selected bibliography
References should enable a librarian to supply the quoted paper/book to the reader. References should be cited in the text, thus (Smith, 1987b; Kawamura et al., 2000), and listed in alphabetical order in the reference section, leaving a blank line between references. The following arrangements should be used:
