Multispectral and thermal surface imagery and surface elevation mosaics - Pendleton Feb 2023
- ORNL
This data set contains high-resolution image products (orthomosaics) acquired from midsized uncrewed aerial systems that have been processed for value-added quality. The instrument Altum multispectral imager by Micasense, captures in six bands (blue - 475nm, green - 560nm, red - 668nm, red edge - 717nm, near-infrared - 840 and LWIR/thermal - 11000nm. The optical bands are converted to reflectance via custom code using the instantaneous band horizontal irradiance ratio to the radiance of the pixel. The code used to develop these images first uses tools from the Micasense Python library to apply dark level corrections, row gradient corrections, and radiometric corrections. Next, it uses the processing API from Agisoft Metashape software to align and mosaic the processed imagery, following the processes developed by the USGS' structure from motion workflow documentation. Captures from different altitudes are used to produce an orthomosaic at each height. A tif image containing information related to the six spectral bands, and a digital elevation model (DEM), a tif image containing information related to the elevation of the surveyed terrain.
