Dataset: Ducks Unlimited Marsh Terraces RGB Mosaic
Date:    2019-05-29

Dataset Abstract:

This dataset consists of unmanned aerial system (UAS) imagery 
taken from a DJI Phantom 4 Pro carrying a DJI FC6310 RGB camera
near Golden Meadow, LA in late May 2019. Images were taken with
the goal of monitoring the efficacy of marsh terraces in helping
to protect and restore coastal wetlands.

Note: This dataset is incomplete. Full area data was flown on
2019/07/25.

Purpose: Collection of data is to provide visual representation of the
study area in order to assess marsh terrace effectiveness.

Data Description:

Images are taken from the Phantom 4 Pro using the onboard DJI RGB
camera. These individual images were then stitched into orthomosaics
using Agisoft Metashape (then PhotoScan).

The orthomosaic is in 8-bit RGB (red, green, blue) GeoTIFF format.

NoData values are defined by the alpha layer (Band 4). If using ArcMap,
enable the "Alpha" band and set to "Band_4" for proper display.
