Summary

Low-altitude (80-100 meters above ground level) digital images were obtained from a camera mounted on a 3DR Solo quadcopter, a small unmanned aerial system (UAS), along the Lake Ontario shoreline in New York during July 2017. These data were collected to document and monitor effects of high lake levels, including shoreline erosion, inundation, and property damage in the vicinity of Sodus Bay, New York. This data release includes images tagged with locations determined from the UAS GPS; tables with updated estimates of camera positions and attitudes based on the photogrammetric reconstruction; tables listing locations of the base stations, ground control points, and transect points; geolocated, RGB-colored point clouds; orthomosaic [...]

Purpose

The gridded DEM surface estimates the elevation of the land surface at mid-day low-tide on 12 -13 July, 2017 in the Charles Point study area. It was created to demonstrate the use of structure-from-motion (SfM) for shoreline research and to provide a means to measure the accuracy of the elevation measured through SfM photogrammetry. It is released to provide an elevation dataset that is more accessible than the LAZ elevation point cloud for the general user.
