Description:

Abstract:

Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) were used to collect aerial remote sensing data over Marsh Island, a salt marsh restoration site along New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts. Remediation of the site will involve direct hydrological and geochemical monitoring of the system alongside the UAS remote sensing data. On March 11th, 2025, USGS personnel collected natural (RGB) color images, lidar, and ground control points. These data were processed to produce a high-resolution lidar point cloud (LPC), digital elevation models (surface and terrain), and a natural color orthomosaic.

Purpose:

The elevation and imagery products were produced to help the site’s conservation partnership evaluate the baseline conditions of the site, with future data collections planned to monitor landscape change from remediation efforts and potential storm impacts.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

GPS: The theoretical internal accuracy of the Emlid RS3 survey equipment is 2 cm. GPS check points with the RS3 that had a FIX were assumed to be within that tolerance after staking out at known reference mark BBNEP-2023-1 and the values were within 2 cm. The internal precision vertical and horizontal root mean square values (RMS) for each point were also reported in 2025009FA_MI_Mar_GPS_Emlid_RS3_checkpoints.csv. The ground control points (GCPs) used were Propeller AeroPoint 2s, which are an upgrade from the original AeroPoint 1s, but are referred from here on as AeroPoints. The AeroPoint GCPs have an internal reported variance provided in 2025009FA_MI_Mar_AeroPoints.csv, the global accuracy was calculated and reported below by adding the variance to twice the longest baseline distance.
Images: The YSMP images are all geotagged with position information and various sensor data using Post Processing Kinematic (PPK) data from the base station and the YellowScan Mapper Plus (YSMP).
GeoTIFFs: The horizontal and vertical accuracy of the products (2025009FA_MI_Mar_YSMP_DSM_10cm.tif, 2025009FA_MI_Mar_YSMP_DTM_10cm.tif, 2025009FA_MI_Mar_YSMP_SfM_Ortho_5cm.tif) were assessed using the AeroPoints and GPS Emlid check shots. It should also be noted that accuracy estimates of the products were for areas of bare ground or low vegetation where GCPs were placed or where the check shot was appropriate for the product. For example, a check shot on the bridge was not used to assess the digital terrain model (DTM) as the bridge was removed as a surface artifact but would be used to assess the digital surface model (DSM), which includes it. Additional sources of error, such as moving objects, may cause accuracy estimates to exceed estimates in localized portions of the products. Lidar data does not penetrate water. The DTM was also compared to previous data surveys at Marsh Island.
Lidar: The point cloud (2025009FA_MI_Mar_YSMP_LPC_classified.laz) positional accuracy was based on the GPS/IMU and post positional corrections from the base station. The colorization of the points was based on the closest image and may be off by up to 30 cm. Some misalignment in the collected lidar strips on the distal ends of the collection may occur. Users are advised to evaluate the data for their own needs. The accuracy of the LPC ground classification that produced the DTM was not assessed, users are advised to do their own quality control or reclassification. Misclassification of points may have caused inaccuracies in the DTM.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

There was one M600 UAS flight and ten AeroPoint 2 GCPs placed. One AeroPoint was obscured from view (AP-67B). The flight (14 min) used the YellowScan Mapper+ (YSMP) to collect lidar data and RGB images. These data produced the LPC, DTM, DSM, and the true-color orthomosaic (SfM_Ortho). All data fall into expected elevation ranges of a low-lying coastal marsh.

Completeness_Report:

Imagery: The YSMP camera triggered every 2 seconds once it reached 60 meters altitude. Images at take-off and landing were removed. A total of 262 YSMP images are on the IDS and were used in structure from motion (SfM) processing. Products: The LPC has been classified into “ground (2)” and “created, never classified (0)” and cleaned in Global Mapper to remove water points and reclassify points near the bridge. GeoTIFF products are cloud-optimized and compressed. The DTM and DSM are partially interpolated to fill gaps in the lidar made by water or tree cover. There are 104 real time kinematic (RTK) check shots and 10 AeroPoint data points.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Images: The YSMP images were geotagged with the post-processed lidar *.T04 file and Emlid RS2+ base station data and had an average horizontal accuracy of 0.05 m.
GPS: Emlid RS3 GPS RTK points have an average internal precision RMS of 2.2 cm. AeroPoint average horizontal global accuracy is 5.2 cm.
Lidar: The horizontal accuracy of the lidar point cloud, and by association the DSM, was assessed against positions of the AeroPoints on reflective tarps (n=5) in the intensity view of the LPC. The horizontal accuracy is variable and within 30 cm.
SfM: The orthomosaic was spatially georeferenced using the visible AeroPoint2 GCPs (n=9) and created using SfM. The horizontal root mean square error (RMSE) of the check points as reported from the Metashape project were x/y 0.02/0.03 m.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Images: The YSMP images were geotagged with the post-processed lidar *.T04 file and base station data and had an average z accuracy of 0.05 m.
GPS: Emlid RS3 GPS RTK points have an average internal vertical precision of 2.7 cm. AeroPoint global vertical accuracy is 7 cm.
Lidar and products: The LPC returns within 5 cm of the GCPs were compared, and the RMSE (n=92) was 0.031 m. The lidar DSM vertical RMSE (n=95) was 0.031 m and the lidar DTM vertical RMSE (n=100) was 0.032 m. When compared to the August 2024 survey (see larger work citation), 90% of the DTM surface was within 3 to 15 cm.

Process_Description:

GROUND CONTROL: Ten AeroPoint GCPs, occasionally on top of larger black and white reflective tarps, were spaced out over the field site and left on for at least one hour to collect Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data. After collection and connected to Wifi, the AeroPoint data were uploaded and run through a post-processing kinematic algorithm of the Propeller network to get a global accuracy. Internal accuracy is reported in xyz variance and with a baseline distance. The data were exported in the horizontal datum NAD83(2011) to produce latitude, longitude, and ellipsoid heights, and then UTM19N and vertical datum NAVD88 using GEOID 18 was used to produce easting and northing and orthometric heights. These were exported to a CSV file and named 2025009FA_MI_Mar_AeroPoints.csv.

Process_Description:

UAS FLIGHTS: The lidar sensor is a 905 nm wavelength Livox Avia with a 70.4/4.5 degree horizontal and vertical field of view (FOV). The lidar scanner was set to the non-repetitive scan pattern, which moves the sensor in spirograph (flower) motion and is optimal for vegetated areas as it can capture more angles by surveying in front and behind the sensor. The camera module is a SONY UMC - 10RC, a 20.4 megapixel (MP). The system also consists of a Trimble AV18 GNSS antenna mounted to the top of the UAS and connected to the lidar system via GNSS cable. The lidar data is saved to a USB thumb drive in three different files: (1) the IMU+GPS data, decimated for quick post-processing, in binary *.ys format, (2) the scanner data in *.lvx format (~600 MB per minute of data collection), (3) and the complete IMU+GPS data in Applanix (Trimble) binary *.t04 format. The RGB images are saved to a micro SD card as *.JPG files. A configuration text file (CONFIG.TXT) is pre-loaded onto the USB thumb drive and can be edited to control lidar and camera module settings, including the camera triggering height, the camera triggering interval, and the lidar scan pattern. The YSMP was attached to a DJI Matrice 600 Pro UAS with approved government edition firmware. The YSMP lidar data was collected with the UAS flying at 7 m/s at 68 meters above ground level with cross grid transect passes. The camera module was set to take images every 2 seconds after reaching 60 meters altitude. After the flight the lidar data were taken off the sensor. Note, the geotagged positions embedded in the exif information are WGS84 and ellipsoid height, this is how the IMU/GPS data were collected. The positions have been converted in Metashape Pro to NAD83(2011) and UTM19N and NAVD88 GEOID 18 and provided in the imagery locations file (2025009FA_MI_Mar_YSMP_ImageLocations.csv).

Process_Description:

LIDAR DATA: The YSMP lidar data were processed in YellowScan CloudStation software integrated with Trimble POSPac UAV 9.0. Base station GNSS data were downloaded from the Emlid RS2+ collecting data on site for the time the UAS was flying. Raw scanner data (.ys file) was imported into YellowScan CloudStation, the sensor Lidar (.profile) and Camera (.camera) profiles, provided and calibrated on 2023-09-26 by the vendor, were selected for the project and the project coordinate reference system is set. CloudStation flight trajectories are adjusted manually to select the desired data to be processed. The .T04 file and base station GNSS RINEX file were used to correct and optimize the sensor position trajectories and produce a Smoothed Best Estimate of Trajectory (SBET) file in .txt ASCII format, which represents the Post Processing Kinematic (PPK) Solution. The lever xyz arm offsets (0.000, -0.118, -0.490) and boresight angle corrections were applied to the LPC, along with a strip adjustment between transect swaths using CloudStation's "robust" setting. The LPC was colored by the YSMP camera based on the photo timestamp. The “Cut Overlap” function was run. The LPC was classified using CloudStation Terrain settings; Object Inner Size “10 m”; steepness “0.05”; minimal object height “0.25 m”; and point cloud thickness “0.1 m”. The LPC was exported as a zipped laz file (ver. 1.4) and opened in Global Mapper (ver. 26.0) where points were cleaned and shifted vertically with a best fit plane to fit the GCPs (2025009FA_MI_Mar_YSMP_LPC_classified.laz). The DSM was exported using maximum values of all LPC points and the Grid “No data” Distance Criteria set to 30 to fill small gaps (2025009FA_MI_Mar_YSMP_DSM_10cm.tif) and a DTM was exported using the average values of just the LPC points classified as ground and the Grid “No data” Distance Criteria set to 50 to fill small gaps (2025009FA_MI_Mar_YSMP_DSM_10cm.tif). All files were exported in EPSG:6348 (NAD83(2011)/UTM zone 19N and the vertical datum in EPSG:5703 (NAVD88 height in meters).

Process_Description:

RAW IMAGERY: The YSMP images were geotagged in Emlid Studio using the lidar *.T04 file and Emlid RS2+ base RINEX files from the time the UAS was in the air. The YSMP images were processed to add additional information required by the USGS to the EXIF headers using ExifTool (https://exiftool.org/, version: 12.06), and the files were renamed to a unique identifier using Namexif (http://www.digicamsoft.com/softnamexif.html, version 2.2) to avoid any possibility of duplicate names. These steps are described here. 1. ExifTool was used to tag each photo headers following the Imagery Data System EXIF Guidance. Attributes (e.g. Credit, Copyright, UsageTerms, ImageDescription, Artist, etc) were stored in a csv file and written to each image with the command:' exiftool -csv="C:\directory\name\EXIF.csv" C:\directory\name\of\photos *.JPG ' To read out the photo information to a csv when in the directory with the photos the command is: exiftool -csv *.JPG > directory/name/allheaders_out.csv 2. All the images were renamed with Namexif (https://us.digicamsoft.com/softnamexif.html v 2.2 accessed April 2020) to ensure unique filenames and compliance with the USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program's best practices for image naming convention. Images were renamed with the field survey ID prefix; flight number, and ID that distinguishes USGS cameras by make/camera number, the image acquisition date, coordinated universal time (UTC) in ISO8601 format, and a suffix with the original image name. For example, image name '2025009FA_f01YSMP_20250311T174254Z_DSC####', 2025009FA is the field activity ID, f01 is the flight number, YSMP is the camera on the YellowScan Mapper Plus, 20250311 is the UTC date in the format YYYYMMDD, and a 'T' is used to separate UTC date from UTC time in format HHMMSS followed by a Z. The DSC#### is the original raw photo name appended to the end of the new filename.

PHOTOGRAMMETRY: The ortho product was created in Agisoft Metashape v. 2.2.0 using the following general steps (see Over and others, 2021 for a more detailed SfM methodology explanation): 1. A project was created in Metashape and imagery was imported. 2. Photos were aligned at a low accuracy and then GCPs were automatically detected in the point cloud. AeroPoint positions (2025009FA_MI_Mar_AeroPoints.csv) were added to the project in the reference systems NAD83(2011)/UTM Zone 19N and NAVD88 (GEOID 18). The horizontal and vertical accuracies for the GCPs were set to 0.01/0.02 m, respectively, and the camera positions for the images were turned off. The photos were then re-aligned with high accuracy (the pixels were not subsampled) using a keypoint limit of 60,000 and unlimited tie points. 3. The alignment process matched pixels between images, which created a sparse point cloud and put the imagery into a relative spatial context using the GCPs. The resultant point cloud was filtered using one iteration of the 'Reconstruction uncertainty' filter at a level of 10, one iteration of the 'Projection accuracy' filter at a level of 3, and fifteen iterations of the 'Reprojection accuracy' filter to get to a level of 0.3. With each filter, iteration points are selected, deleted, and then the camera model was optimized to refine the focal length, cx, cy, k1, k2, k3, p1, and p2 camera model coefficients. 4. A high-quality point cloud with a low-frequency filtering algorithm was made from the filtered sparse point cloud. The dense point cloud was then edited by visual inspection and Metashape’s confidence filter to remove points with a low confidence near the edges and near water bodies. 5. An interpolated elevation model is built from the dense point cloud and then an orthomosaic is built from the DSM with refined seamlines. The YSMP orthomosaic is a 3-band RGB-averaged orthomosaic exported at 5 cm resolution (2025009FA_MI_Mar_SfM_Ortho_5cm.tif).
