UAV-derived Digital Surface Models and orthoimages for three alpine glaciers

The images were then processed with the software Agisoft Photoscan Pro 1.1.6 . The location and dates of each survey can be found in the table together with the number of flights performed (Nflights), the number of acquired images (Nimages), the number of GCPs set (NGCPs) and the surveyed area. A folder for each dataset is available (see folder name in table), which contains: - An orthoimage __*glacier_date_photoscan_oi_CH1903+_LV95_0.1m.tif*__ - A Digital Surface Model __*glacier_date_photoscan_dsm_CH1903+_LV95_0.1m.tif*__ - The Agisoft Photoscan automatic processing report __*glacier_date_photoscan_report.pdf*__ where: - __*glacier*__ is the name of the surveyed glacier - __*date*__ is the date of the UAV image acquisition - __*photoscan*__ is the name of the photogrammetric software - __*oi*__ or __*dsm*__ the type of dataset - __*CH1903+_LV95*__ is the coordinate system and datum of the dataset - __*0.1m*__ is the resolution of the dataset in meter - __*.tif*__ is the extention of the dataset   Details about the UAV surveys, the image processing and the accuracy of the UAV-derived products can be found in this publication below. __Paper Citation:__ > _Gindraux et al. 2017.

Accuracy Assessment of Digital Surface Models from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles’Imagery on Glaciers, Remote Sensing, 9, 186, 1-15, doi: 10.3390/rs9020186._ The folder UAV_flight_paths.zip contains all UAV flights performed on the Sankt Annafirn, Findelengletscher and Griesgletscher. The flights were planned with the software eMotion2 and have the .afp extention.
