Abstract:
This data publication consists of the complete set of raw images, orthomosaics created from these images, and ground control points (GCPs) from two unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flights over the Mazama Meadows site near Olympia, Washington on 09/22/2020. There are single-band images for five wavelengths in visible and infrared collected using a MicaSense RedEdge camera, and one band in short-wave infrared (SWIR) collected using a FLIR Tau camera flown concurrently on flights at 9:34am and 2:56pm. The drone flew at 3 meters per second at a height of 16 meters and the images were recorded once per second.
