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.

Agisoft Photoscan software determines the photos used in the construction of the products (Point Cloud, DEM and Orthomosaic) based on the ability to align the photo and the usability of valid tie points within an image. Images that were not successfully aligned but were imported into the software retain the original camera (image) position data but have the no-data value (NaN) for all of the processed data fields. Some photos from each flight were not loaded into photoscan by the processor. These photographs are typically from takeoff and landing, and were eliminated to reduce the total number of photographs with in the project, but have been provided in the photo zip files in this publication. Completeness_Report: Four UAS flights (f41 - f44) were conducted in Chimney Bluffs survey areas along the Lake Ontario shoreline of New York. During the 4 successful flights, photographs were captured every 2 seconds. Gaps in sequential 2-second photo intervals exist because some photos were deleted because of bad exposure, slow shutter speed, excessive tilt, or low altitude during takeoff and landing. Not all of the images loaded into the photogrammetry software were used in the reconstruction. Not all images in the photo zip files were loaded into Photoscan. Some were omitted automatically because they yielded an insufficient number of tie points relating them to the others. Location and attitude information was calculated for all of the images used in the reconstruction, and that information is provided for only for those photos. A total of 1665 photos were imported into the Chimney Bluffs project. Photos what were not aligned in the project are included in this data table but have the no-data value (NaN) for all of the processed data fields. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal positions recorded in the UAS flight logs and later applied to the EXIF portion of the images were derived from a mRo GPS (u-Blox Neo-M8N / 3DR SOLO Upgrade), which received signals from GPS and GLONASS satellites, but are otherwise uncorrected. Horizontal locations for the original photo dateset are considered accurate to approximately 3 meters, but may be off by as much as 10 meters. Horizontal camera positions, presented in this dataset, are calculated from photogrammetry and are considered more accurate because the location takes into account the overall reconstruction of the Photoscan project incorporating tie points from adjacent aerial photos and the ground control point data. The estimated camera positions are likely accurate to within 0.2 m. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Vertical positions recorded in the UAS flight logs and later applied to the EXIF portion of the images were derived from a mRo GPS (u-Blox Neo-M8N / 3DR SOLO Upgrade), which receives signals from GPS and GLONASS satellites, but is otherwise uncorrected. Vertical locations from the GPS are considered to be less accurate than horizontal positions and may be off by more than 10 meters. Like the horizontal camera positions, the vertical camera positions, presented in this dataset, are calculated from photogrammetry and are considered more accurate because the location takes into account the overall reconstruction of the Photoscan project incorporating tie points from adjacent aerial photos and the ground control point data. The estimated camera positions are likely accurate to within 0.2 m.

Process_Step: Process_Description: During USGS field activity 2017-042-FA, digital images were taken approximately 80 and 100 m above the ground on July 10 - 14, 2017, with a Ricoh GRII digital camera mounted in a 3DR Solo quadcopter operated by the U.S. Geological Survey. This camera location file, for the Chimney Bluffs project, was created using a standard processing flow as described in the processing steps below. These camera locations are the product of one of several photogrammetry projects from field activity 2017-042-FA. Two projects incorporated flights over Braddock Bay on July 10 and 11, 2017 (Braddock West, Braddock East); four were used for flights in the vicinity of Sodus Bay on July 12, 13, and 14, 2017 (Lake Bluff / Crescent Bar, Crescent Bar / Charles Point, Sodus North, and Greig Street); and one project incorporated flights over Chimney Bluffs on July 14, 2017. For this camera location file, original camera position estimates were determine using Mission Planner software (verion 1.3.49). These position estimates are written to the header of JPEG images in a process know as geotagging. Geotagging functionality in Mission Planner is accessed from the main menu by clicking 'control'and 'F', and then choosing 'GeoRef Images' from the menu that pops up. Geotagging requires a telemetry log (created by mission planner during survey flight), photos (collected by the Ricoh camera during flight), and a time offset between camera and GPS if applicable. The updated camera locations also present in this dataset were determined using photogrammetry software (Agisoft Photoscan Professional v. 1.3.2), and differ from the original position estimates due to photogrammetric correction and ground control adjustments.

Geotagged images created in the field (see source citation and previous processing step) containing useful imagery from the survey area were imported into Agisoft Photoscan Professional v. 1.3.2 software using the “Add photos…” tool. Photos taken before and immediately after takeoff, photos taken immediately prior to and after landing, and photos with 100% water were not loaded into the project or not used if they were. Project coordinate system is set to EPSG::7660 WGS84 (G1150) geocentric coordinate system. 2. Using ”Convert”, the coordinate system of the images (called “cameras” in Photoscan) was converted from native latitude/longitude WGS84 (G1150) coordinate system to meters in NAD83/UTM zone 18N (EPSG::26918). 3. The photos were processed through an initial alignment and optimization procedure using the following settings: Alignment - Accuracy: “High”; Pair selection: “Reference”; Key point limit: 80,000; Tie point limit; 0 (unlimited). Adaptive camera model fitting option was selected. Optimization - Lens-calibration parameters f, cx, cy, k1, k2, k3, p1, and p2 were included; b1, b2, and higher-order parameters k4, p3, and p4 were not. 4. The sparse point cloud (also known as tie points; created as a result of photo alignment and optimization) was edited using an iterative error-reduction procedure to filter the data. This was done in several iterations of a process called "Gradual Selection" to first to reduce reconstruction uncertainty (to a unitless value of 10) and then projection accuracy (to a weighted value of 3). 5. Ground control points were created by first letting the software automatically detect markers where it finds all of the 4-ft square black/white targets deployed (false targets that are sometimes detected were manually deleted). The automatically-generated marker labels were manually changed to match the names in the survey notes and GCP location files. 6. "Import markers” was used to load the GCP location files, which assigned coordinates (northing, easting, and elevation in UTM Zone 18 North meters in NAD83 and NAVD88 coordinate systems) from the location file to the detected markers. The locations of auto-detected markers were retained. 7. Another round of "Gradual Selection" was done to reduce the reprojection error (to a value of 0.3 pixels, unless more than 10% of the points would be removed). 8. A dense point cloud was then created with the parameters "High" quality and “Aggressive” depth filtering. 9. A DEM was create with the parameters Source data="Dense Cloud" Interpolation="Enabled" Resolution="0.05" 10. An orthomosaic was create with the parameters Surface="DEM" Blending mode="Mosaic" Pixel size X="0.025" Pixel size Y="0.025" 11. The camera locations data (this dataset) was exported in CSV text format (2017-07-10_ChimneyBluffs_CAMERAS.csv) from Photoscan with the following parameters (Items=Cameras, Delimiter=Comma, Columns=[all boxes checked on] with Precision=6). This file was manually edited to remove columns that contained no data for all records and to fill those columns for the photos not successfully aligned with a no-data value of "NaN". Then the file renamed to 2017042FA_ChimneyBluffs_CameraLocations.csv).

The text contains rows of data records; there are 14 columns of data separated by commas. The first header row specifies the column headings for the data, as follows: Label (full name of the image file), X/Easting, Y/Northing, and Z/Altitude (initial horizontal and vertical coordinates from the UAS GPS log), Error_(m), X_error Y_error, Z_error (total distance, and x, y, an z components of the distances (meters) between the initial coordinates from the UAS GPS log and the coordinates estimated from the photogrammetric reconstruction), X_est, Y_est, Z_est (coordinates estimated from the photogrammetric reconstruction), Yaw_est, Pitch_est, Roll_est (camera attitude estimated from the photogrammetric reconstruction). The fields X/Easting, Y/Northing, and Z/Altitude are the uncorrected horizontal and vertical values and are therefore reported in this PhotoScan export in the coordinate system and vertical datum of original projection of the ChimneyBluffs project (see process number 2 in the processing steps above). The fields X_est, Y_est, Z_est are in coordinates corrected by the image alignment and photogrammetry process; the X_est and Y_est are in the horizontal datum of the PhotoScan project (NAD83 UTM Zone 18 EPSG::26918) and the Z_est values are referenced to the NAVD88 vertical datum. If the image was not successfully aligned in the photogrammetric reconstruction, estimated camera location and attitude are not available, and only the first five columns contain valid data. Missing data for these unused cameras (images) are indicated by "NaN".
