Surveying Practices in the Drone Age: An Accuracy and Slope Assessment of UAV-Derived Elevation Products

Collected GPS data & UAV imagery in remote backcountry, mosaicking and processing UAV imagery using photogrammetric software, generating map products (orthoimagery, digital surface and terrain models) to evaluate differences in accuracy of UAV products across multiple georeferencing methods.

Operated senseFly eBee Plus UAV equipment under FAA Part 107 license. Extensively leveraged tools including ArcGIS, Pix4D, eMotion3, SPSS, R, Trimble GPS, RTK/PPK, Python, GPS Pathfinder Office, PAST, and advanced use of Microsoft Office suite.
