Aerial Photos Capture and Data Collection in Beaumont-Port Arthur Region on February 27-28, 2023

Our Co-design team is from the University of Texas, working on a Department of Energy-funded project focused on the Beaumont-Port Arthur area. As part of this project, we will be developing climate-resilient design solutions for areas of the region. More on www.caee.utexas.edu. We used a DJI Mavic 2 Pro to capture aerial photos in Beaumont-Port Arthur, TX, in February 2023, including: I. Beaumont Soccer Club II. Corps’ Port Arthur Resident Office III. Halbouty Pump Station comprises its vicinity IV. Lamar University V. MLK Boulevard for aerial images of the industry and the ship channel VI. Salt Water Barrier (include some aerial images about the Big Thicket) Aerial photos taken were through DroneDeploy autonomous flight, and models were processed through the DroneDeploy engine as well. All aerial photos are in .JPG format and contained in zipped files for each location. The processed data package of the Halbouty pump station has various file types: - The Adobe Suite gives you great software to open .Tif files. - You can use LASUtility (Windows), ESRI ArcGIS Pro (Windows), or Blaze3D (Windows, Linux) to open a LAS file and view the data it contains. - Open an .OBJ file with a large number of free and commercial applications. Some examples include Microsoft 3D Builder, Apple Preview, Blender, and Autodesk. - You may use ArcGIS, Merkaartor, Blender (with the Google Earth Importer plug-in), Global Mapper, and Marble to open .KML files. - The .tfw world file is a text file used to georeference the GeoTIFF raster images, like the orthomosaic and the DSM. You need suitable software like ArcView to open a .TFW file. This metadata set comprises aerial photos of the above locations, as well as 3D models, point clouds, and the animation video of Halbouty Pump Station. This dataset provides researchers with sufficient geometric data and the status quo of the land surface at the locations mentioned above. This dataset could streamline researchers' decision-making processes and enhance the design as well.

我们的协同设计（Co-design）团队来自德克萨斯大学，正参与一项由美国能源部（Department of Energy）资助、聚焦博蒙特-亚瑟港（Beaumont-Port Arthur）区域的研究项目。作为该项目的一部分，我们将为该区域内的多个地块开发气候适应性设计方案。更多详情请访问：www.caee.utexas.edu。

我们于2023年2月在德克萨斯州博蒙特-亚瑟港区域，使用大疆御2专业版（DJI Mavic 2 Pro）采集了航拍影像，拍摄点位包括：
I. 博蒙特足球俱乐部（Beaumont Soccer Club）
II. 美国陆军工程兵团亚瑟港驻地办公室（Corps’ Port Arthur Resident Office）
III. 哈尔博蒂泵站（Halbouty Pump Station）及其周边区域
IV. 拉马尔大学（Lamar University）
V. 马丁·路德·金大道（MLK Boulevard），用于采集工业区与航道的航拍影像
VI. 盐水屏障（Salt Water Barrier，包含部分关于大丛林（Big Thicket）的航拍影像）

本次航拍通过DroneDeploy自主飞行任务完成，影像建模亦基于DroneDeploy引擎进行处理。所有航拍影像均采用JPEG（.JPG）格式，并按拍摄点位打包为压缩文件。

哈尔博蒂泵站的处理后数据包包含多种格式的文件：
- 可使用Adobe系列软件打开TIFF（.TIF）文件；
- 可使用LASUtility（Windows系统）、ESRI ArcGIS Pro（Windows系统）或Blaze3D（Windows、Linux系统）打开LAS格式文件并查看其包含的数据；
- 可通过多款免费及商用应用程序打开OBJ（.OBJ）文件，例如Microsoft 3D Builder、Apple Preview、Blender及Autodesk；
- 可使用ArcGIS、Merkaartor、Blender（需搭配Google Earth Importer插件）、Global Mapper及Marble打开KML（.KML）文件；
- .tfw世界文件为文本格式文件，用于对正射影像图（orthomosaic）及数字表面模型（DSM）这类GeoTIFF栅格影像进行地理配准，需使用ArcView等适配软件方可打开。

本元数据集包含上述点位的航拍影像，以及哈尔博蒂泵站的三维模型、点云数据与动画视频。本数据集可为研究人员提供上述点位的充足几何数据与地表现状信息，能够简化研究人员的决策流程，同时助力设计方案优化。
