Tarps and targets used in UAS calibration and validation
Detailed Description
Greyscale tarps and ground control points were placed on land during harmful algae mapping fieldwork at Willow Creek Reservoir near Granby, CO. These targets enable calibration and validation of hyperspectral data captured by uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) to study water quality and algae conditions across the reservoir.
