Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9POZ9VH Description: Abstract: The data in this publication map the beach and nearshore environment at Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, MA and provide regional context for the 2021 CoastCam installation that looks out at the coast shared by beachgoers, shorebirds, seals, and sharks. These data were collected as part of field activity 2021-022-FA and a collaboration with the National Park Service at Cape Cod National Seashore to monitor the region that falls within the field of view of CoastCam CACO-02, which are two video cameras aimed at the beach. Starting in February and ending in March 2021, U.S Geological Survey and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) scientists conducted field surveys to collect position and orientation information for the CoastCam cameras and map the field of view. Two new reference marks were established in the Marconi Beach parking area to establish ground control for future surveys. Elevation data were collected using a real time kinematic – satellite navigation system (RTK-GNSS) receiver attached to a pole and walked on the beach. Point data of the beach face were collected along transects. Grain-size analysis was performed on sediment samples collected with a spade along multiple profiles from the bluff base to the intertidal zone. Aerial images of the beach for use in Structure-from-Motion were taken with a camera (Ricoh GRII) and a post-processed kinematic (PPK) system attached to a helium powered balloon-kite (Helikite) and high-precision GPS targets (AeroPoints) were used as ground control points. Bathymetry was collected in the nearshore using a single-beam echosounder mounted on a surf capable self-righting electric autonomous survey vehicle. Agisoft Metashape (v. 1.7.2) was used to create a digital elevation model with the collected imagery and this was merged with the bathymetry in MATLAB (v. 2020) to create a continuous topobathy product. Purpose: Product can be used for visual inspection of beach features. Supplemental_Information: This orthomosaic, as constructed using structure-from-motion from the images in the 2021022FA_Marconi_f1.zip file, represents 0.1778 square kilometers of Marconi Beach in view of the CoastCam cameras on March 17, 2021. The GeoTIFF is not cloud optimized. For more information about the WHCMSC Field Activity, see https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2021-022-FA.

Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20211039 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The positional information used on the Helikite and ground control point datasets and metadata are available in the imagery and navigational components of the larger work citation. No color corrections were applied. Logical_Consistency_Report: There is one orthomosaic of Marconi Beach created from imagery in the larger work citation. Completeness_Report: The structure-from-motion process that builds the DSM and then the orthomosaic uses all the available imagery and location information at the start, however 702/811 images aligned in the software to produce the final product and any data holes may appear blurry due to interpolation. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Navigation information was acquired from a GNSS receiver (EMLID Reach M2) in PPK mode with a Multi-band GNSS antenna that has an estimated horizontal accuracy of 2-5 cm from the errors reported in the Metashape project. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Digital Surface Model was created in Agisoft Metashape v. 1.7.2 using the following general steps (see Over and others, 2021): 1. Project created and imagery (located in larger work citation 2021022FA_Marconi_f1.zip) and position (located in larger work citation 2021022FA_Marconi_f1_photolocations.csv) data were brought in using the NAD83(2011) datum. 2. Photos were aligned at high accuracy (the pixels are not subsampled for increased processing speed) with a keypoint limit of 40,000 and unlimited tie points. Alignment uses the positions and matching pixels between images to create point clouds and put the imagery into a relative spatial context. Photos that failed to align/find tie points contained breaking waves and water, but are kept in the project to reconstruct the orthomosaic because they are still spatially orientated even if they do not contribute to the elevation model. Metashape software refined and optimized the camera positions and lens model in a least squares sense to minimize the reprojection error or the distance between the measured points and the software created points. 3. Nine ground control points (GCPs) (2021022FA_Marconi_nav_AeroPoints.csv located in the larger work citation were added to the project in NAD83(2011) and manually placed on the images as markers. 4. A dense point cloud was generated using high quality (images are not subsampled) and a low frequency filtering algorithm. Accuracies for the GCPs were set 0.01 m and accuracies for the camera positions were set to 5 cm, resulting in a total camera position error of 0.05 m and a total GCP error of 0.016 m. The dense point cloud was then edited to remove noise by filtering by point confidence before generating an interpolated digital elevation model (the software calls all models elevation models, but technically it is a surface model because it includes vegetation/canopy returns, a terrain model would be only bare earth returns). 5. The digital surface model was used to build an orthomosaic, which was then exported from the software at a resolution of 25 cm and in NAD83(2011)/UTM Zone 19N (ESPG:6348) and GEOID 18B NAVD88 in meters.
