Orthophoto & DEM from drone images, UAV, Aldabra gigi, Seychelles - 20221024 - 02_29

"This dataset presents the results of the photogrammetry process using images collected by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in Aldabra gigi, Seychelles, on 20221024

The processing was carried out with the OpenDroneMap software from the raw images provided in the first version of this DOI.
Underwater or aerial images collected by scientists or citizens can have a wide variety of uses for science, ecosystems management, or conservation. These images can be annotated and shared to train IA models which can in turn predict the objects on such images. We provide a set of tools (hardware and software) to collect marine data, predict species or habitat, and provide maps.


The parameters of the OpenDroneMap software are shared so that the proposed processes can be reproduced or improved:
