Queensland University of Technology's Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network provides Unmanned Aircraft System orthomosaics of the Samford Ecological Research Facility. The dataset includes multispectral, panchromatic, pansharpened, and long-wave infrared orthomosaics generated from a DJI Matrice 300RTK equipped with a MicaSense Altum-PT sensor. Images were geo-referenced using onboard GNSS, a D-RTK 2 base station, and ground control points, then processed in Agisoft Metashape.
Use Cases
- Analyzing vegetation health and crop stress based on multispectral bands.
- Conducting thermal analysis of land surfaces based on long-wave infrared (LWIR) data.
- Creating high-resolution land cover maps based on pansharpened imagery with 1.6 cm ground sampling distance.
- Testing and evaluating new remote sensing equipment and workflows based on data from a designated flight testing facility.
Strengths
- Includes multiple high-resolution data products: multispectral (3.4 cm GSD), pansharpened (1.6 cm GSD), and LWIR (21 cm GSD) orthomosaics.
- Data collection used precise georeferencing with onboard GNSS, a D-RTK 2 base station, and 5 ground control points.
- Imagery was captured with a specific, advanced sensor system: DJI M300RTK with MicaSense Altum-PT.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
