Delaware Atlantic coast, 2020 - Aerial Imagery
Description
Low altitude (300 meters above ground level (AGL)) digital aerial imagery were acquired on May 4 and 5, 2020, from a manned, fixed-wing aircraft using a Sony A7R 36 Megapixel digital camera, along with precise aircraft location Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data. Data were collected in shore-parallel lines, flying at approximately 50 meters per second and capturing true color imagery at 1 Hertz, resulting in image footprints with approximately 75-80% endlap, 60-70% sidelap, and a ground sample distance (GSD) of 5.3 centimeters. The precise time of each image capture (flash event) was recorded, and the corresponding aircraft position was computed in post-processing from the aircraft navigation GNSS data; precise image positions can then be determined by accounting for the lever arm offsets between the aircraft GNSS antenna and the camera lens. Position data, provided as latitude/longitude/ellipsoid height, is referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83(2011)).
