Summary
A Raven RQ-11A unmanned aerial system, equipped with an on-board video camera and global positioning system, was used to capture video of a seven mile reach of Lake Sharpe Shoreline near Lower Brule, South Dakota in August of 2012. This dataset is a basemap derived from still images captured from the video, georeferenced using information from the on-board global positioning system and a series of thirteen ground targets with known locations. This work was completed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Environmental Protection Office.

Purpose
This data was collected as part of a shoreline erosion study. It can be used with a geographic information system to provide background imagery, and to record the locations of shoreline features at the time the imagery was captured. Monitoring shoreline erosion is important because it allows erosion rates to be calculated or estimated, which helps determine the risk posed to infrastruture. Understanding erosional processes may also be used to better inform decisions on erosion countermeasures.
