UAS-based hyperspectral image data from the upper Sacramento River in northern California, September 13, 2017

An unmanned aerial system was used to acquire hyperspectral image data from the upper Sacramento River in northern California on September 13, 2017, to support research on remote sensing of rivers, particularly retrieval of water depth, and to facilitate efforts to characterize salmon habitat conditions and geomorphic change along the upper Sacramento River. These data were collected by the Nano-Hyperspec imaging system, manufactured by Headwall Photonics, Inc. The flight was conducted by Headwall Photonics, Inc.; Headwall also performed the initial radiometric and geometric data processing. The data were acquired from a DJI Matrice M600 UAS and have a spatial resolution (pixel size) of 0.178 m. The data set consists of 276 spectral [...]
