Hi there,
I am looking to purchase an UAV with an attached multi-spectral camera to use its images in delineate the shoreline. I need to take a vertical geo-referenced image (if possible) and corrected thereafter with ground controlling points. Any suggestion would be highly appreciate it.
Hi,
The selection of UAV will depends on budget you have. Such as:
1- DJI P4 Multispectral, covering small area with moderate price.
2- eBee SQ, fixed wing, covering large area with high price.
Hi Mansour,
Shorelines, even for lakes tend to be variable. Even when you dispose of a hyperspectral UAV, you will have to take into account variations in shoreline, in oceans and seas due to tidal changes and in lakes due to dams or changes in local hydrology. Hence, how will you define your shoreline in this context? As the lowest shoreline level, the highest, or a kind of mean level over time? If you want to have a good idea of the shoreline dynamics you will have to monitor the shoreline over a few months on a three hourly basis especially in estuaries of rivers.
Cheers,
Frank
