Aerial Photogrammetry Data and Products of the North Carolina Coast—2018-10-06 to 2018-10-08, Post-Hurricane Florence: U.S Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9CA3D8P. Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9CA3D8P Online_Linkage: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/6037c855d34eb120311750ee Description: Abstract: This data release presents structure-from-motion (SFM) products derived from aerial imagery surveys with precise Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) navigation data flown in a piloted fixed wing aircraft taken along the North Carolina coast in response to Hurricane Florence (available here https://coastal.er.usgs.gov/data-release/doi-P91KB9SF/). USGS researchers use the elevation models and orthorectified imagery to assess future coastal vulnerability, nesting habitats for wildlife, and provide data for hurricane impact models. The products span the coast over both highly developed towns and natural areas, including federal lands. These products represent the coast after Hurricane Florence and cover the Cape Fear area, North Carolina to the Virginia border vicinity from October 6-8, 2018. This research is part of the Remote Sensing Coastal Change Project. Purpose: The RGB averaged ortho products are created to document interannual changes in shoreline position and coastal morphology in response to storm events using aerial imagery collections and the structure-from-motion (SFM) workflow. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. These data can be used with geographic information systems or other software to identify topographic and shallow-water bathymetric features. Supplemental_Information: The raw imagery and navigation data used to produce the orthoimagery are available online at https://coastal.er.usgs.gov/data-release/doi-P91KB9SF/. Bounding coordinates are derived from the overall flight path and are not necessarily representative of individual RGB averaged ortho product bounds which are split up along the coast to have more accessible data download sizes.

Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20211039 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The source imagery and positional information and metadata that were used to create these photogrammetrically derived digital elevation models are available here: https://coastal.er.usgs.gov/data-release/doi-P91KB9SF/ Information on the horizontal and vertical accuracies of the source data can be found within the data release metadata. No color corrections were applied to the RGB averaged ortho products. GeoTIFFs are in full-color. The blending mode of the orthoimagery uses a weighted average value of all the pixels from individual photos (https://www.agisoft.com/pdf/metashape-pro_1_6_en.pdf - see Blending mode). Logical_Consistency_Report: There are a total of 15 RGB averaged ortho products. Completeness_Report: All collected imagery (37,497) was used. The orthoimagery products have not been cropped and include coverage of water. Products were created from interpolated DEMs. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The horizontal positional accuracy was evaluated against 21 of the 34 independent photo-identifiable ground control points measured with survey-grade GPS (Brown and others, 2021 - see citation below in lineage for additional accuracy report) but 20 (#'s 5, 6, 8, 12-16, 18-20, 22, 24, 26-29, 31, and 33) were used as check points and only 1 control point (#32) from the Outer Banks and the post-processed kinematic (PPK) camera positions (Kranenburg and others, 2020 - see citation below in lineage for additional accuracy report) were used to create the final Ortho products. As reported by the software Agisoft Metashape Professional, the SFM project after alignment that creates the Ortho products had an overall GCP control point horizontal root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 5.18 cm and the total camera position horizontal RMSE was 25.19 cm. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: There are no vertical positions associated with this data product.

Process_Step: Process_Description: On a workstation (AMD Threadripper 3960X /AsRock TRX40 Creator motherboard/256GB 3000MHz RAM) using Win10x64, all Aerial Imagery (and associated positional data) and 21 of 34 available Ground Control Points were brought into an Agisoft Metashape Pro (v. 1.6.5) project based on identification in the imagery. Only one ground control point, #34, was used as a control point to help 'lock' in the camera positions whereas the rest of the points were used as check points. See the Aerial Imagery citation metadata for Metashape Reference Settings inputs. To align in a 4D manner (see Sherwood and others, 2018) additional imagery and positions were added from 2019-08-30, 2019-09-02, 2019-09-08, 2019-09-12, and 2019-09-13 (see contact person below for imagery from the additional dates past 2018, which are in publication preparation/review). The additional imagery improves the horizontal and vertical accuracy but are not used past this initial alignment process step; similar products can be reproduced without them. The following steps were performed on the Metashape project in the geographic coordinate system NAD83(2011) in ellipsoid height following the general guidance in Over and others (2021): 1. Separate camera models and camera groups were created for each flight date. 2. Imagery (with positions) are aligned to create a point cloud using a 'High' alignment setting, keypoint limit of 70,000, tiepoint limit of 0, generic preselection selected, and reference preselection via source selected. The tiepoint accuracy was set to 1 pixel. 3. 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 two iterations of the 'Reprojection accuracy' filer at a level of 0.3 (in the second iteration the 'fit additional corrections' option was turned on). With each filter iteration points are selected, deleted, and then the camera model optimized to refine the focal length, cx, cy, k1, k2, k3, p1, and p2 camera model coefficients. 4. Natural breaks in the final alignment product were identified based on bodies of water or the extreme northern and southern ends of a flight (PostFlorence_InletMap.jpg on the larger citation landing page https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/6037cc78d34eb1203117512d). These 'chunks' are the vicinity of the Virginia-North Carolina border (VA is used to denote this northern extent) to Oregon Inlet, Oregon Inlet to Hatteras Inlet, Hatteras Inlet to Ocracoke Inlet, Ocracoke Inlet to Ophelia Inlet, Ophelia Inlet to Beaufort Inlet, Beaufort Inlet to Bogue Inlet, Bogue Inlet to New River Inlet, and New River Inlet to Oak Island. For each chunk all aligned images and associated tie points in that section were kept and the remainder deleted.

All imagery from October 6, 7, and 8 in the aligned chunk is copied from the workstation to a new Agisoft Metashape Pro. project on the U.S Geological Survey Tallgrass high-performance computing network for processing on CPU and GPU nodes (https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/sas/arc/machine-access). 2. If multiple flight dates were flown for this chunk, imagery from one date is targeted, and the rest are disabled (this is then switched for each flight date in the chunk after the final step and steps 3-7 are repeated) 3. A high quality dense point cloud is generated for the chunk with 'mild' filtering and the options to calculate point color and point confidence selected. 4. Dense point cloud is filtered using the 'Filter by Confidence' tool using the range 0-2, these points selected at this range are classified as low noise. 5. A DEM is built from the dense point cloud with interpolation enabled and without the points classified as low noise (not included in this publication). 6. An orthophoto is built from the interpolated DEM using the blending mode 'average'. 7. The orthorectified product is exported in UTM Zone 18N with a 0.25 meter cell size and integer boundary intervals. 8. Orthorectified product is turned into a cloud-optimized GeoTIFF (COG) using gdal_translate with the following command:for %i in (.\*.tif) do gdal_translate %i .\cog\%~ni_cog.tif -of COG -stats -co BLOCKSIZE=256 -co COMPRESS=LZW -co PREDICTOR=YES -co NUM_THREADS=ALL_CPUS -co BIGTIFF=YES (v. 3.1.4 accessed October 20, 2020 https://gdal.org/).
