UAS Multispectral Orthomosaic of Cockatoo Hills, Tasmania at 5 cm Resolution

A 10-band multispectral orthomosaic raster of Cockatoo Hills, Tasmania, collected via an Uncrewed Aerial System. The imagery was captured using a DJI Matrice 300 RTK with a Zenmuse P1 RGB camera and a Micasense RedEdge-MX Dual sensor during a flight on June 19, 2026. The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network processed the data to produce a cloud-optimized GeoTIFF with 5-centimeter resolution and relative reflectance values.

Use Cases

• Calculate vegetation indices like NDVI based on the near-infrared and red-edge bands.
• Conduct land cover classification based on high-resolution 10-band spectral signatures.
• Perform reflectance calibration for time-series analysis based on the pre-flight calibration panel capture.
• Analyze spatial patterns in ecosystem health based on the 5-centimeter resolution orthomosaic.

Strengths

• High spatial resolution of 5 centimeters per pixel.
• Contains 10 distinct spectral bands, including coastal blue, multiple greens, reds, red-edges, and near-infrared.
• Imagery was geo-referenced using onboard GNSS and post-processed with AUSPOS for positional accuracy.
• Reflectance calibration was performed using a calibration panel capture.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single-site collection in Tasmania.
