The primary goal of this work is to use unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques to map the topography and vegetation land cover within a portion of the Cape Cod marsh ecosystem at Sesuit marsh in Dennis MA, to develop a baseline map of vegetation cover types. The UAS platform will gather georeferenced and spectral imagery to be used in creating the models for classification of current vegetation types.
Location
Sesuit Marsh, Dennis, Massachusetts
Summary
Staff completed UAS flights off the side of the road next to the Sesuit Marsh Creek at low tide. One lidar flight, two altum PT flights, and two SkyDio flights were done. Six AeroPoints were laid out. Rick from the conservation land came out and watched.
