Summary

Structure-from-Motion (SfM) point clouds were created from images collected using a remotely piloted unoccupied aerial system (UAS) over the bluffs of the eastern shore of Lake Michigan in Ludington, MI, a rural natural area to assess land changes. The digital imagery was collected with the internal camera of a DJI Phantom 3 PRO for the July 11, 2019, data and DJI Phantom 4 PRO for the July 14, 2021, data that was operated by the University of Toledo.
