Unmanned Aircraft System Multispectral, Pansharpened and LWIR Orthomosaics, QUT Samford Ecological Research Facility

This dataset contains Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) multispectral, pansharpened and long-wave infrared (LWIR) orthomosaics of the Samford Ecological Research Facility (SERF), Queensland University of Technology. SERF is located in the Samford Valley, west of Brisbane, Australia and is the usual place for flight testing and evaluation of new equipment. The QUT's Research Engineering Facility team operated DJI Matrice 300RTK (M300) with latest MicaSense Altum-PT (5-band multispectral sensor, LWIR, panchromatic channels and downlight sensor). The images were geo-referenced using the onboard GNSS in M300 and the D-RTK 2 base station and also georectified with 5 ground control points collected by Emlid Reach RS GNSS receivers. In the processing workflow in Agisoft Metashape, the multispectral orthomosaics were orthorectified and pan-sharpened. Dense point clouds were used to generate multispectral (GSD 3.4 cm/px), panchromatic and multispectral pansharpened (GSD 1.6 cm/pixel) and LWIR (GSD 21 cm/pixel) orthomosaics.

DJI M300 RTK Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS, aka UAS) was operated in differential GNSS mode with ground based DJI D-RTK 2 mobile station providing geospacial timestamps into imagery. Additional five control points of Emlid Reach RS receiver was used to reduce vertical offset error. Raw imagery were processed in Agisoft Metashape. Reflectance calibration was performed using captures of the MicaSense Calibration Panel taken before the flight.
