Summary

This data release presents orthoimagery and elevation data based on aerial imagery of the Alaska coastline between Icy Cape and Cape Prince of Wales. These data products and the source aerial imagery were generated by Fairbanks Fodar for the U.S. Geological Survey. Aerial imagery was collected in 2016 between August 29 and September 4 and extends from the shoreline to 400-4000 meters inland. Photographs were captured using a Nikon D800E mounted on a Cessna 170B. Data products were derived from aerial images and precise Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation data using structure-from-motion (SfM) techniques. This dataset includes point cloud data in LAZ format as well as orthoimagery and digital elevation models presented as Cloud [...]

“Examples of orthoimagery, point cloud, and digital elevation model” 		thumbnail 11.23 MB image/jpeg

Purpose

Fairbanks Fodar was contracted by the USGS to acquire aerial photography and to generate structure-from-motion products including orthoimagery, digital elevation models, and elevation point clouds. USGS researchers use the orthorectified imagery and elevation data to delineate shoreline position and characterize coastal geomorphology.
