Ortho-Rectified UAS Mosaic Air Photo of Staged Crash Scene at S-BRITE

<p>The image archived in this record was constructed from 189 images recorded on a GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition camera mounted on a Phantom 2 (FA3E9FY4HA) on February 11, 2017. The red scale bar in this image is 15 ft, with three 5 ft divisions. These images were taken at the Purdue Center for Aging Infrastructure (<a href="https://engineering.purdue.edu/CAI/SBRITE/Facilities">CAI</a>) facilities just south of the Purdue Airport (KLAF) at approximately latitude 40.408709, longitude -86.949142. A NOTAM was filed and operations were coordinated with the Purdue Airport Tower. A PDF of that NOTAM is attached. The procedures for constructing the mosaic image are documented in the following publications:</p>
