3D mesh model and raw images of a drifting iceberg in the Vaigat Strait (NW Greenland) on 6 August 2019

This dataset consists of low-altitude aerial imagery that was acquired by a DJI Phantom 3 Standard unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) in the Vaigat Strat in northwest Greenland on 6 August 2019. The UAV survey commenced at 11:10 UTC. These images were processed in Agisoft PhotoScan Pro (v1.4; Linux Ubuntu). During the image alignment step in PhotoScan, the ‘High’ accuracy setting and key point and tie point limits of 60000 and 0 were used. Generic and reference preselection were disabled. Gradual selection was used to remove tie points that exceeded thresholds for the projection accuracy, reconstruction uncertainty, and reprojection error and the lens parameters were computed. The dense point cloud was then computed using the ‘High’ setting, followed by the textured mesh. The mesh model was exported in .obj and .pdf formats. A complete file list is provided in the README file that accompanies this dataset. This dataset is discussed in: Carlson et al. Quantifying iceberg deterioration using UAV imagery and Structure from Motion photogrammetry software. Submitted to Remote Sensing
