Digital aerial imagery (RGB) of dye tracer dispersion in Fernan Lake Idaho USA

Dataset contains raw and composite RGB digital aerial imagery collected from Fernan Lake Idaho in August 2018. Imagery is used to investigate dye dispersion experiments to determine possible nutrient flux from adjacent wetlands.

Aerial (RGB) imagery of dye tracer dispersion was captured using a Phantom 4 Pro drone. Flight programming was done with Pix4D.

Aug 2, 2018:
19 sequential flights were conducted (120 to 209 images captured per flight) over the same approximate area. Flights were repeated approximately every 10-15 minutes in order to capture time-series distribution of dye tracer.

Aug 30, 2018:
20 sequential flights were conducted (122 to 159 images per flight) over the same approximate area. Flights were repeated approximately every 10-15 minutes in order to capture time-series distribution of dye tracer.

Images from each flight were stitched together using WebODM software, resulting in 19 composite images from Aug 2, 2018, and 20 composite images from Aug 30, 2018. The resulting composite images can be viewed in sequence for a given day to observe the dispersion of dye tracer over time.
