Use of fixed-wing and multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles to map dynamic changes in a freshwater marsh
We used a multi-rotor (Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI) and a fixed-wing (eBee, senseFly) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to acquire high-spatial-resolution composite photos of an impounded freshwater marsh during late summer in 2014 and 2015. Dominant type and percent cover of three… Read More
Unmanned aerial vehicles produce high-resolution, seasonally-relevant imagery for classifying wetland vegetation
With recent advances in technology, personal aerial imagery acquired with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has transformed the way ecologists can map seasonal changes in wetland habitat. Here, we use a multi-rotor (consumer quad-copter, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+) UAV to acquire a… Read More
