Information to be Derived: Collecting high resolution images to be processed by photoscan to create orthophotos, DEMs, and point clouds.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Aerial imagery was collected by an unmanned aerial system (UAS) at Sage Lot Pond in Waquoit, MA March 9, 2018. This collection was acquired to explore the UAS potential for mapping marsh ecological systems, vegetation diversity, and creating high resolution elevation maps for use in carbon sequestration models. 883 Ricoh GRII photos (5.3 GB) were collected along with 15,536 mica photos (26.7 GB), 12 GCPs
