Field Activity 2024-029-FA

Identifier 2024-029-FA
Alternate names Sacramento River Real-time PIV
Purpose To collect video imagery of the Sacramento River to test real-time PIV technology.
Equipment or personnel only. Data, if any, are managed under a different field activity.
Location Sacramento River
Summary Video imagery was collected using the USGS/NASA RiOS payload. Aerial images were collected of the river and surrounding terrain using a Skydio X10 UAS and a 10-band Micasense Rededge Dual camera system equipped to a DJI Matrice 600 UAS.
Info derived Flow velocity, elevation, natural color (RGB) imagery, and multispectral reflectance imagery.
Comments I was participating in this field work as additional support. I listed myself as PI since I could not enter the actual PI into that field. The data was published through a different USGS center and I have no further responsibility for the data. Missing Equipment: Photo: 1. Micasense Rededge-P Dual System - https://ageagle.com/drone-sensors/rededge-p-dual-camera/ 2. River Observing System (RiOS) - Consisting of a Mirage ICI thermal camera, a Laser Technology, Inc., TruSense S200 laser range finder, and a VectorNav VN-300 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). 3.
