Identifier 2025-011-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
Info derived Will be flying multiple sensors on the M600 including a LiDAR and multispectral sensor. We will also be flying a Wingta Lidar UAS. 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)
