Super-high-resolution aerial imagery, digital surface models and 3D point clouds of Cape Simpson, Alaska

As part of the ThawTrend-Air airborne campaign led by the Alfred Wegener Institute in 2019, we collected super-high-resolution multispectral imagery of permafrost landscapes with the Modular Aerial Camera System (MACS), developed by the German Aerospace Center. From these images, we photogrammetrica...

Description
Summary:As part of the ThawTrend-Air airborne campaign led by the Alfred Wegener Institute in 2019, we collected super-high-resolution multispectral imagery of permafrost landscapes with the Modular Aerial Camera System (MACS), developed by the German Aerospace Center. From these images, we photogrammetrically processed four-band orthophotos (blue, green, red, near-infrared) and digital surface models at very high spatial resolution of 7 cm, as well as photogrammetric point clouds in RGB and NIR. This data collection aggregates five data subsets of Cape Simpson, Alaska, covering approximately 20 km². All images were collected on 19 July 2019.
