| Description |
This is an ongoing collection of aerial oblique and near-nadir images, ancillary data, and derivatives, from aerial surveys of coastal and near-coastal environments with a crewed light aircraft using the "PCMSC PlaneCam," a mounted fixed-lens DSLR camera with an attached consumer-grade GPS for time-keeping and approximate position, and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for precise positioning. Data are collected and produced primarily for coastal monitoring using structure-from-motion photogrammetry. The intent is to develop and implement survey methods to study coastal geomorphic processes at high temporal and spatial resolution, and to make data available as rapidly as possibly while maintaining U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Fundamental Science Practices (FSP) in the spirit of producing timely best science. Data products from the PCMSC PlaneCam data collection platform (DCP) are published in a directory structure with one folder per survey ("collect"), and within that folder, one folder per product. A process step or steps in metadata for each product describe naming conventions and methodology for each product. A detailed description of naming conventions can be found in the Entity and Attribute Overview and Process Steps of this metadata record. [More]
