Field Activity 2021-035-FA

Identifier 2021-035-FA
Alternate names CAHO Field Work and Training
Purpose To collect aerial imagery and ground control positions near Oregon Inlet and Bodie Island Lighthouse with National Park Service employees to monitor the seashore and collect data to learn how to use Agisoft Metashape.
Location Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Bodie Island Lighthouse
Summary Field activity was completed 2021-12-09, two field sites were chosen due to inclement weather once on site. National Park Service employees flew their own drones to collect data for processing. WHCMSC aeropoints were used as ground control. A NUPO owned Parrot Anafi was used by WHCMSC to take video, and a 3DR Solo was flown by WHCMSC with a Ricoh GRII attached.
