Summary

Two DJI M600 small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) were used to collect aerial remote sensing data over various locations within the Lower Darby Creek Superfund Site and the adjacent John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Datasets included natural (RGB) color images, multispectral images, and LiDAR Point Clouds (LPCs). These data were processed to produce high resolution digital elevation models (DEM) and natural-color and multispectral reflectance image mosaics. Black and white cross-coded ground control points (GCPs) were sureveyed using RTK-GPS and RTK-GPS enabled Aeropoints to georeference the model and orthomosaics during post-processing. The elevation and imagery products were produced to help partners at the EPA and U.S. [...]
