The purpose of this study is to investigate biomass quantification of a marsh using a multispectral camera mounted on a UAS.
Location
Plum Island Estuary, Rowley MA, USA
Summary
On July 9, 2019 the AIM group traveled to the Plum Island estuary to fly the Micasense multispectral camera, and the Ricoh GRII camera mounted on the firefly pro6 UAS platform. This project was a collaboration with Marine Biological Laboratory and their ongoing study looking at carbon sequestration in the marsh.
Info derived
We will be collecting raw photos to be processed using photogrammetric techniques, as well as GPS coordinates to be used as ground control for the products.
The sUAS platform that was flown during the data collected using uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations: Plum Island Estuary and Parker River NWR (PIEPR)
