Abstract:
This dataset contains raw Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery from a blue (450 ± 16 nm), a green (560 ± 16 nm), a red (650 ± 16 nm), a red-edge (730 ± 16 nm), and a near-infrared (830 ± 26 nm) monochromatic sensor. The dataset was collected on 8 February 2023 at Potter Cove, Maxwell Bay, within the ANT-Land-SIGMA-I campaign. Overflights were performed with the DJI Phantom 4 Multispectral quadcopter UAV, equipped with a camera containing a composite RGB and 5 monochromatic sensors, as well as an incident light sensor on top of the UAV. The high-precision GNSS reference mobile station DJI D-RTK 2 was coupled to the UAV to ensure accurate georeferencing. Flight planning and mission control were conducted using the DJI GS Pro App (V. 2.0.17).
