Pickle Pond pre-restoration orthomosaic and elevation products, Superior, Wisconsin, July 2021

The orthomosaic, digital surface model and point cloud presented here document conditions at Pickle Pond, part of the Saint Louis River Area of Concern in Superior, Wisconsin. Aerial images were collected in July 2021, prior to planned ecological restoration, using a DJI Phantom with FC6310 sensor at a nominal elevation of approximately 100 meters above the surface of the lake water. Data were processed using structure-from-motion techniques to generate a point cloud (las), digital surface model (DSM; .tif) and an orthomosaic (.tif) for the site. Products provide baseline information about terrestrial and emergent wetland communities against which to compare changes following restoration. Ground control points used to georeference the imagery and elevation products are provided as a .csv file, along with a processing report generated by the structure-from-motion processing software.
