mDRONES4rivers-project: UAV-imagery of the project area Laubenheim at the Rhine River, Germany

<p>Spatially and temporally high-resolution data was acquired with the aid of multispectral sensors mounted on UAV and a gyrocopter platform for the purpose of classification. The work was part of the research and development project &bdquo;Modern sensors and airborne remote sensing for the mapping of vegetation and hydromorphology along Federal waterways in Germany&ldquo; (mDRONES4rivers) in cooperation of the German Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG), Geocoptix GmbH, Hochschule Koblenz und JB Hyperspectral Devices.&nbsp;<br> Within the project period (2019-2022) data was collected at different sites situated in Germany along the Rivers Rhine and Oder. All published data produced within the project can be found by searching for the keyword &lsquo;mDRONES4rivers&lsquo;.&nbsp;<br> In this dataset, the following UAS data and metadata of the project site &lsquo;Laubenheim&rsquo; (center coordinates [WGS84]: 49.960007&deg;N, 8.331229&deg;E; area: 11&nbsp;ha) at the Rhine River in Germany is available for download:<br> &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Multispectral orthophotos (GeoTiff; 6 bands: B, G, R, Red-Edge, NIR, Flag; camera: Micasense; resolution: 25 cm; abbreviation: MS_RAW)<br> &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; RGB-orthophotos (GeoTiff; 3 bands: R, G, B; camera: Phantom; resolution: 25 cm; abbreviation: PH_ORTHO)<br> &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Digital Surface Models (GeoTiff; 1 band; camera: Phantom; resolution: ca. 5 cm; abbreviation: PH_DEM)<br> &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; associated Technical Reports (PDF; technical metadata concerning data acquisition, and processing using Agisoft Metashape, 1x for multispectral orthophotos, 1x for RGB-orthophotos + digital surface model)<br> The above-mentioned files are provided for download as dataset stored in one directory per season depending on the date of data acquisition (e.g. mDRONES4rivers_NW_UAV_2019_01_Winter.zip = projectname_projectsite_platform_year_no.season_name.season). To provide an overview of all files and general background information plus data preview the following files are stored in the info.zip folder:&nbsp;<br> &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Overview table and metadata of the above-mentioned data (xlsx)<br> &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Summary (PDF, Detailed description of sensors and data acquisition procedure, 1x for multispectral orthophotos, 1x for RGB-orthophotos + digital surface models)<br> Note: the data was processed with focus on spectral information and not for geodetic purposes. Georeferencing accuracy has not been checked in detail. &nbsp;</p>
