This data set contains over 600GB of multimodal data from a Mars analog mission, including accurate 6DoF outdoor ground truth, indoor-outdoor transitions with continuous cross-domain ground truth, and indoor data with Optitrack measurements as ground truth. With 26 flights and a combined distance of 2.5km, this data set provides you with various distinct challenges for testing and proofing your algorithms. The UAV carries 18 sensors, including a high-resolution navigation camera and a stereo camera with an overlapping field of view, two RTK GNSS sensors with centimeter accuracy, as well as three IMUs, placed at strategic locations: Hardware dampened at the center, off-center with a lever arm, and a 1kHz IMU rigidly attached to the UAV (in case you want to work with unfiltered data). The sensors are fully pre-calibrated, and the data set is ready to use. However, if you want to use your own calibration algorithms, then the raw calibration data is also ready for download. The cross-domain outdoor to indoor transition segments are especially challenging because of realistic sensor behavior such as GNSS degradation and dropouts, changes in the measured magnetic field, and changing light conditions when transitioning to the indoor environment. The data set also provides 4 hours of static sensor data and vibration data with accurate RPM measurements to provide you with additional information about sensor properties and vehicle integrity. The data set provides you with everything you need to test your research: First, you can test your algorithms with the indoor data sets in a controlled environment and then switch to the more challenging flight scenario, such as the transition data, which requires sensor switching, or the Mars analog data with higher velocities, multiple touchdowns, challenging ground structures or constant velocity segments. The Mars analog data also contains cliff flight overs and traverses while the stereo camera faces the cliff in case you want to perform a 3D reconstruction or challenge your SLAM algorithm.

The critical aspects of each data set are shown on the website (https://sst.aau.at/cns/datasets), making it easy to find the best data to test or challenge your algorithm.

These data were compiled for assessing how geomorphic changes measured as topographic differences from repeat surveys represent measured and modelled estimates of aeolian sediment transport and dune mobility. Objective(s) of our study were to investigate whether topographic changes can serve as a proxy for aeolian transport and sediment mobility in dunefield environments. This was accomplished by relating topographic changes to modeled and observed estimates of sediment transport and dune mobility over months to decades within a partially vegetated dunefield starved of upwind sediment supplies. We specifically tested if topographic changes measured as net and total volume changes and topographic surface roughness differences provide evidence for intra-annual differences and decadal changes in sediment mobility for dune sand that is either currently bare, vegetated, or biocrust-covered. Lastly, these data were used as a framework for interpreting how aeolian transport and sediment mobility has changed for current land cover types over the preceding four decades. These data represent monthly topographic surveys and in-field sediment transport data collected between February 13, 2020 and December 16, 2020, piloted aerial imagery collected in 1984, 2002, 2009, 2013, and 2021, unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery collected in March 2021, classification of land cover, and tabular summaries of topographic changes derived from these datasets. These data were collected between 1984 and 2021 within a small aeolian dunefield near the confluence of the Paria and Colorado Rivers, upstream of Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. These data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey. These data can be used to 1) to evaluate how dune surfaces with bare sand, sand with vegetated cover, and sand with biological soil crust cover (biocrust) change on a monthly time scale with differences in wind strength and 2) assess how the dunefield surface changed with vegetation loss and expansion over almost 4 decades. Additionally, these data could be used to assess detailed changes in landscape cover over monthly and decadal time scales.

This thesis deals with the potential of high-resolution UAV data for the acquisition of sediment dynamics. For this purpose, a test area (Langgriesgraben, NP Gesäuse, Austria) was selected in a coagulation with episodic water flow and high morphodynamics. From the high-resolution UAV aerial images (medium GSD 2-3 cm) of three flying times, digital point clouds, terrain models and orthophotos were created using the SfM-MVS method. The software Agisoft Photoscan Professional 1.2.4 was used and the georeference was carried out via dGPS measured pass points. The height accuracy of the generated raster terrain models and the location accuracy of the orthophotos were estimated on the basis of dGPS single points and the calculation of various statistical parameters. The accuracy achieved (e.g. height accuracy DGM: 4-7 cm RMSE) lies in the accuracy range that can be expected from the literature. Shadows in the aerial images subsequently lead to areas with greater uncertainty in the DGM. The digital point cloud and the DGM were compared for three test areas with timely recorded TLS data, with the deviation between UAV and TLS depending on the chosen comparison method and test area 6-12 cm (percentile 95 of the deviations). Based on the generated UAV terrain models, the surface change in the coagulation could be quantified by the DoD method using a minLOD. Due to the determined minLOD (14 cm) a significant change could be found to only 12 % of the total area. The deposition (295 m) clearly outweighs the erosion (163 m) of sediment during the period considered (53 d). Based on the results, it can be concluded that the method used SfM-MVS in combination with a UAV is suitable for detecting higher rates of change, but small rates of change cannot be determined due to the accuracy achieved.

Coastal dunes are considered some of the most threatened and vulnerable habitats in the European Union. Mapping the spatial distribution of these habitats is an essential task for their conservation. Advances in Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) facilitate the flexible acquisition of high-resolution imagery for identifying detailed spatial distributions of habitats within dune systems. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of UAV remote sensing for mapping these habitat types. Specifically, we determined the impact of temporally acquired UAV-derived spectral and topographic information on classification accuracy. The work combined the multi-temporal UAV imagery with field observation data and used the Random Forest machine learning algorithm to classify dune habitats. Results showed that using multi-temporal UAV imagery increased classification accuracy compared to using uni-temporal UAV imagery (92.37% vs. 84.09%, respectively). Also, including topographic information consistently improved accuracy, regardless of the number of image sets used (the highest accuracy increased from 84.81% to 92.57% for a uni-temporal model). Temporal analyses showed that the data acquired in the middle period of the growing season were better than those acquired in the early or late periods. The methodology presented here demonstrates the potential of using UAV data for detailed mapping and monitoring of habitat types.

Topographical and orthophotograph data sets created using Structure from Motion (SfM) from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) data, presented as Orthophotographs (image and world file), Digital Surface Models (DSM) (image and world file), and point clouds (LAS format) using EPSG 32620 projection. The data was collected at selected sites on Dominica, Caribbean in January/February 2018 as part of a NERC funded project (NE/RO16968/1) to conduct geomorphological change and infrastructure damage baseline surveys following hurricane Maria. The data was flown using either a DJI Phantom 3 or 4, as indicated by the file name. If the file name includes 'NoGCP' in the file name the data uses the internal GPS and altitude of the DJI UAV. This means the data is not positionally accurate in absolute terms and should not be used in direct comparison to other georeferenced data. If the file name includes 'GCP' then the data was georeferenced using ground control derived from UAV data provided by the University of Michigan. This data is deemed accurate in absolute terms.
