Abstract:
Low-altitude (80-100 meters above ground level) digital images were obtained from a camera mounted on a 3DR Solo quadcopter, a small unmanned aerial system (UAS), in three locations along the Lake Ontario shoreline in New York during July 2017. These data were collected to document and monitor effects of high lake levels, including shoreline erosion, inundation, and property damage in the vicinity of Chimney Bluffs State Park, New York. This data release includes images tagged with locations determined from the UAS GPS; tables with updated estimates of camera positions and attitudes based on the photogrammetric reconstruction; tables listing locations of the base stations, ground control points, and transect points; geolocated, RGB-colored point clouds; orthomosaic images; and digital elevation models for each of the survey regions. Collection of these data was supported by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the State of New York Departments of State and Environmental Conservation, and the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program and was conducted under USGS field activity number 2017-042-FA.
Purpose:
This camera location data provides updated image location information as determined by the Agisoft Photoscan software as a result of processing that included automated image alignment, lens calibration and using independent ground control data. The cameras (or images) noted in this table were imported into the Photoscan software and, if successfully aligned, they were used in the creation of the final photogrammetric products (including point clouds, digital elevation models and orthomosaics). In addition to XYZ location, attitude data estimates (yaw, pitch and roll), and error values from the original photo GPS data are also included.
Supplemental_Information:
For more information about this field activity, see
https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2017-042-FA. Photogrammetric processing using ground control points produces estimates of camera location and attitude (roll, pitch, and yaw) with much higher accuracies. These tables contain position and attitude estimates derived from photogrammetric post-processing and are considered to have better positional accuracy than the GPS information provided in the EXIF headers in the images in the photo dataset.
