Multispectral drone images of cocoa agroforestry in Cote d'Ivoire - Raw images

This repository hosts the raw multispectral imagery dataset from drone surveys of cocoa production plots in the Central-West Region of Côte d'Ivoire.
The dataset encompasses high-resolution multispectral images from 10 cocoa production plots. These images were captured using the DJI Phantom 4 Multispectral (P4M) drone, fitted with an array of sensors capable of capturing data in RGB, red, green, blue, red edge, and near-infrared bands. 
The study area comprises diverse cocoa agroforestry systems, recorded to reflect the varying structural complexities and stages of growth within the plots.
All imagery was acquired during UAV flights on May 4 and 5, 2022, between the hours of 10 AM and 2 PM (UTC). These flights were carefully scheduled to ensure optimal lighting conditions and minimal shadow interference, conducive to high-quality data capture. The region's tropical climate, marked by consistent temperatures and regular rainfall, adds to the relevance of this dataset for agricultural and ecological studies.
