Recall the tree orchard site we’ve been looking at. This site is relatively flat with distinct (potted) objects. In this lab, I will attempt to lead you through an R-based analysis with the goal of segmenting the landscape (individual potted plants). INPUT DATA: Lab data is linked HERE. Use the […]

In this lab, you will generate a point cloud and an orthophoto from photos captured during one of my UAV flights last November. You will use the LiDAR toolset in Global Mapper to generate a bare ground “terrain” model and a “surface” model (includes trees, stumps, buildings, etc). ——————————————————————————— Create […]

We’ll get back to project planning Friday.  In the meantime, lets review Monday’s lab and spatial data modeling in general. The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!", but "That's funny..." (Isaac Asimov) In my case, the phrase is “…hmmm.  That’s […]

    Download the Lab 7 Data Here. In this lab, you will step through a series of raster calculations to create a canopy model. Processing this type of data is much vaster when working with the raster data type; resist the urge to convert to vector until the very […]

      Download the “Lab6Data” file HERE (you can also find the Lab6Data.zip file in our FANR5640_7640 folder on the N:\ Drive). Use File Explorer (type Explorer in the search window in the lower-left of the screen) to copy the zipped file you just downloaded (look in the Downloads folder) […]

Download Lab Data 1 Download Lab Data 2   The data you are looking at are from a flight on December 14, 2016 in south Georgia.  ‘P4_SouthGA_14Dec16_ORTHO02.img’ is the Agisoft 3-band, 0.02 meter resplution, natural-color orthophoto output.  ‘P4_SouthGA,14Dec16_DEM08’ is the Agisoft 0.08 meter resolution terrain model generated from the same […]
