This workshop will focus on processing multispectral imagery from unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs) and extracting zonal statistics for geospatial modeling using OpenDroneMap on SCINet systems. Participants will be introduced to the different stages of processing multispectral imagery collected using UAVs, and the development of tools for the extraction of zonal statistics in a format that can be directly used in geospatial modeling will be shared. Topics covered in the workshop will include:
- Installation and set up of the miniconda environment
- Pre-processing: Tools to filter out redundant imagery by altitude and location
- Pre-processing: Conversion of multispectral imagery digital numbers to reflectance
- Processing: OpenDroneMap to generate multispectral orthophotos
- Tools to generate vegetation indices from multispectral imagery, volume estimates from digital surface models, and extraction of zonal statistics
Prerequisites: Workshop participants should have some familiarity with Python, using the command line, and basic knowledge about remote sensing and geospatial concepts.
