Small UAV Position and Attitude, Raw Sensor, and Aerial Imagery Data Collected over Farm Field with Surveyed Markers

Abstract

This data set consists of eight data files. The raw data file, flight_data.csv, consists of sensor readings taken by the UAV during flight; these data include altitude, latitude and longitude, velocity, acceleration, and wind speed and direction. The ground_control_points_coordinates.csv file is a table describing the three-dimensional position of UAV ground control points. GIS files containing data involving the ground control points and the UAV flight path can be found in supplemental_GIS_files.zip; these files can be viewed with Google Earth. JPEG snapshots of the GIS file outputs are named ground_control_points_map.jpg and uav_groundtrack_map.jpg, respectively. The images.zip file contains photos logged by the UAV during flight, as well as a media folder containing pictures of the research team, the ground control points, and the UAV device. The UAV-logged photos are arranged by image type (RGB or NIR) and processing status (original or processed). An orthorectified example of the processed RGB photos can be found in the sample_orthorectified_view.jpg file. Climate data for the flight day and specification sheets for the UAV and imaging sensor can be found in data_sheets.zip.
