Start Date: 2018-10-06

End Date: 2018-10-08

Equipment Used: Digital Camera, GPS

Information to be Derived: Aerial images and aircraft navigation data, suitable for conducting SfM processing and creating orthomosaic photos, DEM and point cloud data.

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Collected aerial imagery along the coast from Cape Fear to Corolla, NC.

Notes: Aerial imagery collected by C. Wayne Wright (manned aircraft), using a Sony A7R 36 Megapixel digital camera, and PPK GPS was recorded aboard the plane (GPS device/model unknown).

FloSup_2018-10-NC_DEMs (The digital elevation models (DEMs) estimate the land surface after Hurricane Florence and were created to document interannual changes in shoreline position and coastal morphology in response to storm events using aerial imagery collections and a structure-from-motion (SFM) workflow. This dataset is comprised of 15 separate DEM images.)
FloSup_2018-10-NC_orthos (The RGB averaged ortho products are created to document interannual changes in shoreline position and coastal morphology in response to storm events using aerial imagery collections and the structure-from-motion (SFM) workflow. This dataset is comprised of 15 separate image orthomosaics in COG TIFF format.)
