Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA

End Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA

Start Date: 2018-06-20

End Date: 2018-06-20

Equipment Used: 3DR Solo factory, Ricoh GR II, Aeropoint targets

Information to be Derived: Aerial imagery.

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Aerial imagery was collected by an unmanned aerial system (UAS) at Quissestt Campus, Woods Hole, MA June 20, 2018. This collection was acquired to explore the UAS potential for creating high resolution elevation maps from photogrammetric techniques, and collecting imagery of the Quissett Campus. 633 Ricoh GRII photos (1.64 GB) were collected along with, 8 GCPs.

Staff: Seth Ackerman, Sandra Brosnahan

Notes: In 2020 Sandy requested a retroactive FA number with the following information: Seth and I flying, we used the aeropoints, used a small UAS with a ricoh point and shoot digital camera, we did 2 flights with 3.66 GB total. The bounding coords for the campus are (approximately). Account number OGU14.
