Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Imagery: Photo
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To collect high resolution images to use for topographic elevation measurements from two restored dam sites on the Mill River in Taunton MA.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Taunton MA
End Port/Location: Taunton MA
Start Date: 2018-05-04
End Date: 2018-05-04
Equipment Used: Ricoh GR II, Spectra Precision SP80, 3DR Solo factory
Information to be Derived: The high resolution images will be used to create DEM's, orthophotos, point clouds to map elevations from two restored dam sites.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Aerial imagery was collected by an unmanned aerial system (UAS) at Britannia Dam, Taunton, MA May 4, 2018. This collection was acquired to explore the UAS potential for creating high resolution elevation maps from photogrammetric techniques. 518 Ricoh GRII photos (2.79 GB) were collected along with, 16 GCPs.
