Field Activity 2024-020-FA

Identifier 2024-020-FA
Alternate names Darby UAS Mapping August 2024
Purpose To collect mapping data for the EPA at an old landfill
Location Darby Township, Philadelphia, PA
Summary S. Brosnahan, J. Over, and S. Ackerman mapped the Clearview Landfill site. One lidar flight, three altum-PT flights, and 6 Skydio flights. 10 AeroPoints and vinyl targets were deployed. The SP80 base station was set up for the lidar flight, and the the SP80 rover was used to take check points. 35 vegetation quadrat surveys were completed.
Info derived Will be flying multiple sensors on the M600 including a LiDAR and multispectral sensor. The SkyDio will be used to collect thermal and normal RGB imagery and video. GCPs will be deployed and GPS used to collect elevation check points. Vegetation data will also be collected in random quadrats (% cover, type, and height)
