GB09/07, flight day 132/2009, West coast

[mggr]

Data location: ~arsf/arsf_data/2009/flight_data/uk/GB09_07-2009_132_West_coast

Data arrived from ARSF via SATA disk on 19/May/2009.

Scientific details: plant distribution on dune fields.

Priority: α4L

PI: Andreas Baas

Sensors:

• Eagle (07/12/09)
• Hawk (07/12/09)
• Leica LIDAR (28/10/2009)
• Digital Photography (15/01/2010)

[mggr]

Logsheet missing, runscripts not generated. Requested vectors and logsheet from Gary.

[mggr]

Corrected grading following fixing trac's priority list..

[mggr]

Note hawk files may need renaming, not in SWIR* form.

[mggr]

Other points of note from the application:

• potentially interested in atmospheric correction / level 2 products (adding peland & sbg to cc)
• no nextmap access, no digimap (Gary will check?)

[mggr]

Logsheet received, but as a scan in a PDF file. Someone will have to create the run scripts manually.

[mggr]

Email from PI:

Thanks for the update on the data processing status. I would just like to confirm that we would certainly be interested in atmospheric correction / level 2 products. Also, I have given Gary the OS / Nextmap / Digimap (whatever it's called these days) subscription number of our university, so that should hopefully not be any issue anymore.

Will ask peland to follow up on the atmospheric/level 2 question.

[jatt]

Project directory copied to ~arsf/workspace.

Applanix has been processed and copied to this location.

All run scripts have been created.

More than one site - project will need to be split into separate project directories.

[knpa]

hawk raw files renamed as per SWIRsh convention

[knpa]

runscripts edited to SWIRsh convention

[knpa]

Directory structure divided into 7 trees according to logsheet groupings: 132a through 132g.

[knpa]

Incorrect GPS end time on H1 header file (given as 00:00:00). Corrected and updated header file.

[knpa]

No sync info for h6.

[knpa]

SCT offsets have been found for 45/52 flightlines. The remaining 7 do not have sufficient wobbles or overlapping fls with wobbles. Will need to wait for vectors (or lidar) before these can be corrected.

[mggr]

Contacted by PI requesting an update and an estimate of time to delivery. Explained the SCT offset issue and the overall LIDAR processing issues. Offered a potential predelivery of the 45 corrected lines with the proviso of no OS error estimate.

[knpa]

Have put the majority of the flightlines (excluding lines 5-8) (not yet verified by vectors) lev1 and 3 on pml ftp1 as well as data quality report, readme and screenshot of sites overview.

[benj]

Have agreed to process this as higher priority because funding for the PhD student intended to look at this (Lily Zhang) runs out soon(ish).

[emca]

Starting LIDAR processing

[mark1]

Vectors have arrived.

[emca]

LIDAR processing has been finished. Vector data has been received for two sites only (f & g). Emailed PI to offer delivery without checking against vectors.

Delivery directory has been created at
~airborne/workspace/GB09_07-2009_132_West_coast/delivery

Passing ticket to Mark1 for delivery checking.

[mark1]

Checked ascii files load ok in Grass and look good. Made a few minor edits to read_me. Ready to deliver.

[mark1]

LIDAR data delivered on 28th October 2009

[mark1]

Processed LIDAR data needs to be rsynced back to main arsf repository, probably best to split the project on the main arsf repository to match the processed project directory structure?

[mark1]

Have processed the raw RCD camera images and tagged the tiff files.

[knpa]

Delivery preparation complete, ready for checking

[benj]

Have delivery checked flight a. Issues so far:

• Replace data quality report with most up-to-date version
• Band 232 blank in all hawk files (need to look into this but can deliver this dataset anyway - suspect it's a bandset issue, but band 232 is poor quality anyway, plus should be very similar to band 231)
• Should mention band 232 issue and Hawk dropping frames (frame grabber card issue) under "Quality of data" in the readme.

[benj]

Also, level 1 files for delivery should include the flight letter (eg. e132a01.bil, not just e13201.bil)

[benj]

Actually, don't worry about that for this delivery. Generally it's true, but all the line numbers are different for the various bits of this project so there's not a lot of point in spending the time to do it.

[benj]

Checking the azgcorr command for flight g hawk line 22 gives the following error in azgcorr:

A UK National Grid projection has been chosen for data that is
 outside the coverage of that projection:  48 N to 62 N and 10 W to 4 E
 The approximate centre of this data set is:  1934672355233165591537245121105912802295402703577532870545838032454086581895847108349688088720759117458960729463204240031593719663501917896233906591097033570989736332795780424822577168766990391955691527327118824677766524783913284925690272373793852668180679655723892736.00 S  2090841113072791560219652599314024076327586797782366537025425377203007704621009079605789662969587471652344465029184481219704709311303332865575410371840520542199889353972652820448798628886650676506023337676581152228735021609379087974166344382137771452130393675695114079533135878132719919721720908435540672512.00 W

The location is, obviously, rubbish, so something somewhere's gone funny with the file. Running hawk line 23 is fine.

[benj]

Made a few minor readme changes, everything else looks fine. Once the comments above about flight a are fixed and hawk line 22 is investigated this can be rsynced back and delivered.
