Drone-based RGB, thermal, and multispectral datasets for application with MosaicSeadron

This repository contains the original RAW data captured by a drone equipped with RGB, thermal, and multispectral sensors, which were used to obtain the results published in Román et al. 2024 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.3390/rs16020290). The repository also aims to make drone‑acquired datasets from various regions of the world - namely Antarctica, southern Europe, and the United States - readily available for running the pioneering georeferencing and mosaicking algorithm "MosaicSeadron" (https://github.com/SeadroneICMAN/MosaicSeadron/). This open‑source Python algorithm overcomes the main limitations of traditional photogrammetric techniques when working with drones over water surfaces. Indeed, it represents a significant advance in monitoring marine and coastal processes by introducing an innovative, efficient, and accurate workflow that improves local‑scale remote observation of aquatic environments.
