Pickle Pond pre-restoration orthomosaic and elevation products, Superior, Wisconsin, September 2020

The orthoimagery, digital surface model and point cloud presented here document conditions at Pickle Pond in Superior, Wisconsin in August 2020, prior to planned ecological restoration. Aerial images were collected using a DJI Phantom with FC6310 sensor at a nominal elevation of approximately 70 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 orthoimage (.tif) for the site. Products provide baseline information about terrestrial and emergent wetland communities against which to compare changes following restoration. A processing report generated by the structure-from-motion processing software is also included.
