comment:1 Changed 10 years ago by knpa

France would like the flightlines divided into manageable chunks, 3 per flightline was suggested.

comment:2 Changed 10 years ago by tipo

RCD images are all somewhat to very overexposed. According to the log, exposure was fixed at 2 for the entire flight, rather than varying.

comment:3 Changed 10 years ago by benj

Gary has confirmed that the PI would like FW LiDAR data for this flight (if we have any).

comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by tipo

Processed LiDAR, will get steve to check it before creating the delivery, as they take a long time to create.

comment:5 Changed 10 years ago by tipo

Created LiDAR delivery, but apl fails to create the wgs84 dem. Possibly due to the large size of the flight? Trying lower resolution to see if that helps.

comment:6 Changed 10 years ago by tipo

Created RCD delivery. Given the poor quality of the images, I'm unsure if it's worth delivering, but it's there in case it's wanted.

comment:7 Changed 10 years ago by tipo

Created LiDAR delivery. Flightline files have been split into 3 parts with overlap as requested.

Beginning RCD D/c

comment:9 Changed 10 years ago by stgo

D/c complete, photographs don't have full exif tagging. Also any explanation for the overexposure available for the readme?

comment:10 Changed 10 years ago by tipo

Images are now tagged, readme updated to give more info on the overexposure.

Beginning RCD D/c

comment:12 Changed 10 years ago by stgo

RCD delivery check finished, re run readme script to get full exif from photos, otherwise ready to deliver.

Lidar DC in progress, couple of initial comments:

  • need a note somewhere about the format of file splitting (a b c)
  • need to make sure it's clear the elevation difference is between lines and not along lines.

comment:14 Changed 10 years ago by stgo

LiDAR DC (tentatively) complete.

Roll errors present between lines 5, 6 7 and 8. Will check others for more, seems to be about 16 cm in size. Particularly noticeable in part a/c of these lines in the town.

RCD data dispatched on 04/06/2014

comment:16 Changed 10 years ago by mark1

Edited KML file in-place in RCD delivery to correct data paths for rcd thumbnails.

comment:17 Changed 10 years ago by stgo

Lines 105248 through to 121418 match up with the following roll values:

roll-correct = -0.004034393
pitch-correct = -0.000880469

1012 and 1026 are seperate from the main data body. I will check for any lines that overlap but they appear to have a considerable roll variation (40 cm).

Line 122811 has a roll variation of 15 cm from 121418. I have not checked the lines beyond this in the dataset.

Only a single raw full-waveform file is available (140309_092407) which could not be processed.

AGL(m) given as -1 in ALSPP. Not possible to process full-waveform or corresponding discrete file.

Likely acquired prior to rest of data as all 14 lines of discrete return data on log sheet accounted for.

comment:23 Changed 9 years ago by lah

Lidar DC complete
Have removed .LAS from screenshot names and suggest rechecking a couple of things:

  • Roll values seem slightly off for a few lines, particularly 4-6. From 8 onwards are fine. Pitch is off too generally.

Roll errors

2-3 0.2
3-4 0.3
4-5 0.4
5-6 0.6
6-7 0.2
7-8 0.3
  • There is some missed noise in the classification. Above ground is probably acceptable, but there is a lot more below ground missed. Some points are classified as noise within the cluster if you want a way of finding these manually. Can you write a script to find the local ground level to remove these? Also can you check lines 7, 24 and 36 for haze. There are a lot of points that don't look like vegetation in a small group in each of these lines. Lines 25-30, 31-33 and 35 are fine as is.

The dem is so big it took me a while to find the flight data in it and ages for demcompare to run (4+ hours) giving mean unmasked -0.2.

Will get lah to check before splitting, classifying and redoing delivery.

Checked pitch and roll values for each pair. Roll is within tolerance for all lines, though is slightly off at the bottom of lines 4-5. Pitch is approx 0.7m of for lines 1-5 and about 0.4m off for lines 5-9. Lines 9-14 are fine.

  • Residual roll and pitch offsets are small (at most 0.1m except for lines 11 & 14).
  • Weird dip appears in 8 & 11, but could be real.

comment:42 Changed 9 years ago by lah

  • Just looking at lines 1-6 there seems to be quite a bit of noise that isn't classified. Obvious bits are below ground and on lake. Might need to allow for bigger clusters of noise.

Replying to lah:

  • Weird dip appears in 8 & 11, but could be real.

I had noticed the dip while processing. Having looked at the kml overview, it looks as though it should be there - I think it's the overflow tower in the south-west corner of Roadford Lake.

Once readme has been reworded ready to deliver.
