Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne visual imagery via a multirotor, small unoccupied aircraft system (sUAS) along with Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS survey data at three study sites (Beasley Flat, Childs, and Sheep Bridge) along the Verde River in Arizona in December 2017. Visual imagery was collected in jpg format and Structure from Motion techniques were applied to the visual imagery to derive a time-specific high-resolution orthomosaic for each of the three study sites.

Purpose

In December 2017, U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne data to demonstrate the successful use of small unoccupied aircraft systems (sUAS) for riparian vegetation characterization of three remote stream reaches along the Verde River in Arizona. The visual imagery, on the ground GPS data collection, and derived orthomosaics were used to categorize woody vegetation cover at the reach scale.
