Information to be Derived: We'll be collecting high resolution images to be processed by photoscan to create DEM's, orthophotos, and point clouds
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Aerial imagery was collected by an unmanned aerial system (UAS) at Whittenton Dam, Taunton, MA May 23, 2018. This collection was acquired to explore the UAS potential for creating high resolution elevation maps from photogrammetric techniques. 784 Ricoh GRII photos (4.19 GB) were collected along with, 16 GCPs.
