Overview
This output represents the foundational data acquisition phase of our agricultural disaster assessment system. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we have successfully captured high-resolution orthophoto imagery and generated precise Digital Surface Models (DSMs) of affected agricultural areas.
The orthophotos provide georeferenced, geometrically corrected aerial imagery that serves as the base layer for all subsequent analysis. The DSMs offer detailed elevation data crucial for understanding terrain characteristics, water flow patterns, and infrastructure impacts.
