Aerial Camera System Boresight Installation in Bassville Park, Florida
March 10, 2026
The US Geological Survey's Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center, in coordination with the US Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Branch of Migratory Bird Surveys, worked to develop, survey, and deploy an advanced aerial photography boresight in the town of Bassville Park, Florida. The intention of this boresight is to provide an extensive array of high-accuracy ground control points, to supplement an existing lidar boresight at the site, for the development of camera metrics on novel camera systems managed and deployed by the USFWS.

Aerial camera systems rely on boresights for defining internal and external metrics. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Migratory Bird Surveys Branch required boresights to calibrate their camera systems for creating georeferenced imagery that can then be used in geographic information systems. The U.S. Geological Survey created high-accuracy boresight installations in Bangor, Maine...
