Data Identification

Abstract: A UAS was flown over Siksik Creek basin on April 28, 2015 and August 25, 2015 with a 16MP RGB Camera which acquired 2.7cm resolution imagery across the basin. The total area covered was approximately 2.5 km^2. Through a 'Structure from Motion' method, the imagery was processed into a 3D Digital Surface Model (DSM). We call this product a 'Digital Surface Model' rather than a 'Digital Elevation Model' (DEM) because it tells you the elevation of the 'surface' which in some cases is the tops of shrubs or the height of the snowpack.
Purpose: To acquire a high resolution Digital Surface Model (DSM) of Siksik Creek basin (a small tributary of Trail Valley Creek) using a Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). DSMs were created during end of winter snow covered conditions and late August snow-free conditions. This creates a 3D model of Siksik Creek basin during these two periods.
