Abstract:
As part of the Perma-X airborne campaign led by the Alfred Wegener Institute in 2021, we collected super-high-resolution multispectral imagery of permafrost landscapes with the Modular Aerial Camera System (MACS), developed by the German Aerospace Center. From these images, we photogrammetrically processed four-band orthophotos (blue, green, red, near-infrared) and digital surface models at a spatial resolution of 20 cm, as well as photogrammetric point clouds in RGB and NIR at 3.66 pts/m² and 1.34 pts/m², respectively. This dataset covers approximately 25.22 km² of Cape Blossom in Alaska, with all images collected on 25 June 2021. This super-high-resolution dataset provides opportunities for generating detailed training datasets of permafrost landform inventories, a baseline for change detection for thermokarst and thermo-erosion processes, and upscaling of field measurements to lower-resolution satellite observations.
