Dataset of aerial photographs acquired with UAV using a multispectral (Green, Red and Near-infrared) camera for cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) monitoring

A dataset of aerial photographs acquired with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) DJI Phantom 4 Pro is presented for monitoring a cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) crop in Navolato, Mexico. Seven photogrammetric flights were carried out to assess the plant growth using a Mapir Survey 3W multispectral camera. Multispectral images with an approximate spatial resolution of 1.83 cm/px were obtained in each photogrammetric flight. These images were acquired every 15 days starting on October 15, 2021, and ending on January 23, 2022. The database contains the radiometrically calibrated images of the tomato crop divided into 2 treatments (repetitions). The dataset also includes the processed photogrammetric products (ortho-mosaics) using a binary mask to exclude the soil from the plant area. The database was originally acquired to assess plant growth, stress levels, and overall crop health. However, this multispectral imagery dataset can also have various uses, such as creating..., Cherry tomato seeds were germinated in a greenhouse and transplanted outdoors on September 6, 2021. Plants were locally managed, and supported with nylon twine to maintain upright growth and prevent breakage from fruit weight. The study used two replicated treatments (T1 and T2) with organic-mineral fertilization; no stress was induced in either treatment.
DJI Phantom 4 Pro UAV was used for the photogrammetric flights. A Mapir Survey 3W multispectral camera was mounted on this UAV to obtain images in the GRN (Green, Red, Near Infrared) spectral range. The DJI GS Pro application was used to define the route (polygon), speed (14.1 m/s), flight height (40 m). The photogrammetric flight parameters were constant for all flights performed. These parameters were set according to the resolution of the multispectral camera sensor system. All photogrammetric flights were performed under nadir conditions. The Mapir Survey 3W camera operated independently of the UAV camera. Its configuration was ba..., , # Dataset of aerial photographs acquired with UAV using a multispectral (Green Red Near-infrared) camera for cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) monitoring

#### File: Tomatodb

**Description:** The dataset organization. The folders are organized by flight date. Therefore, a total of seven folders can be found. Each folder contains three subfolders (FLIGHT, ORTHO, and PLANT). The FLIGHT folder contains the multispectral aerial images obtained from the photogrammetric flights. The ORTHO folder contains the orthomosaics obtained from image processing and then when the binary mask was applied. The PLANT folder contains two subfolders, CROP_1 a...
