EUFAR15/38 , flight day 170/2015, Mallorca

[lah]

Data location: ~arsf/arsf_data/2015/flight_data/spain/EUFAR15_38-2015_170_Mallorca

Data arrived from ARSF via SATA disk on 09/07/2015

Scientific objective: Use airborne hyperspectral, LiDAR and SfM to improve process understanding by monitoring and modelling changing patterns of ecogeomorphological connectivity in Mediterranean insular catchments.

Priority: Unknown

PI: Joan Estrany
EUFAR Project ID: MEDhy^2CON

Sensors:

• Fenix (requested)
• Leica LIDAR (requested)
• Leica FW LIDAR (not requested but flown anyway)
• Owl (not requested but flown anyway)

unpacking
Have moved fenix lines 17 and 18 to ~arsf/2015/flight_data/arsf_internal/dark_frames_2014_075 as the log sheet states that these are the dark current data files that we have been waiting for.

Fenix line 1 has been moved from the 169b data folders as it is time stamped as day 170. It is not in either logsheet so may not need to be processed.

Navigation Processing Complete

Had to use teqc for basestation.

Bad results using IPAS TC so have used IPAS Pro

Flightline 1 is skipped.
Fenix missed flightline 6.

therefore, flightlines are : 2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16

Got pitch and roll values.
Not many overlap regions on flightlines.
pitch and roll vary throughout

Delivery created
Ready for DC

[asm]

Lidar Delivery Check
-Data quality remarks need more precise information.
-Screenshots look fine.
-Pitch and roll look perfect.
-Demcompare masked mean ~4.28
-Some point clouds (on low terrain) have been incorrectly classified as noise. Need to run again the classification algorithm with different values and check them manually afterwards.

[gej]

Lidar Processing
Have added a bit more detail into data quality remarks.
Re-done classification and checked all flightlines manually. All looks okay to me now.

Re-made delivery,
Ready for DC

[asm]

Lidar Delivery Check
-Previous comments has been solved: classification and readme are now OK. New ascii files has been created in accordance.
-Lidar full wave form also look fine.

Ready for delivery.

[asm]

Fenix Delivery Check
Started.
Data quality remarks on readme file need to specify some details about fligthlines not included (lines 01 and 06). Moreover, please re-check sentence on cloud coverage and also add some specific words for clouds on flightline 15.

[asm]

Fenix Delivery Check

-All data is correct.
-Spectra looks fine, good match to 6S simulated spectra.
-Creating zipped files.
Will be ready to delivery once readme has been updated and zip flies created

Fenix DC
Have double checked some spectra. Spike in overlap region, but this is in mask region, so ok to deliver.

Fenix Delivery Check
Done. Zipped files created. Ready to delivery.

There is a letter which needs to go in with the hard drive - speak to Dan.

Lidar reprocessing

Created new delivery

[dac]

• las1.0 -> las1.2
• demcompare reports difference with ASTER as 4 m.
• Corrected DEM name in header file
• The offsets between lines are larger than normal - suggest putting something to indicate this in readme. Previous delivery had "These flightlines have a limited overlap region and are in mountainous regions, this means that the data may be less accurate due to the difficulty of calculating pitch and roll errors where the flight-lines do not overlap or are in a mountainous region where the altitude of the terrain is constantly changing."

Once readme has been updated ready to deliver.

[dac]

Added the following to readme:

"The mountainous terrain and lack of buildings meant correcting for errors in pitch and roll was difficult for this flight, resulting in larger than normal elevation differences between lines"

Started copying to hard drive.
