Summary

A Bell 407 helicopter with a gyro-stabilized gimbal was used to collect aerial videos of Delaware River Water Science basin riverine study sites on August 18 and 19, 2022. Videos were collected during two flights on August 18, 2022 and one flight on August 19, 2022 and focused on study sites along the West Branch of the Delaware River near Stilesville, N.Y. Photogrammetry techniques were used with the natural color video images to produce an orthomosaic map of the study reach.

Purpose

Helicopter-based videos were collected to support a USGS Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) research project in the Delaware River basin. The project aims to evaluate the potential to estimate river surface flow velocities from aerial imagery. Orthomosaic maps can be used to map river condition at the time of aerial surveys.
