Description
A Raven RQ-11A unmanned aerial system, equipped with an on-board video camera and global positioning system, was used to capture video of a seven mile reach of Lake Sharpe Shoreline near Lower Brule, South Dakota in August of 2012. This dataset is a basemap derived from still images captured from the video, georeferenced using information from the on-board global positioning system and a series of thirteen ground targets with known locations. This work was completed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Environmental Protection Office.
