1 Briefly describe your research motivation and study objectives
The project will study geomorphic change detection for the
La Crescent mine. Geomorphic change detection is important in the mining
industry because industries need to carefully track how much excavated material
is being removed and how much material has yet to be mined. Since the volume of
material available translates to their potential profits, mine owners are
especially interested in the geomorphic change happening on their properties.
Our objectives are to process the La Crescent mine datasets in Pix4D to create
a DSM for both flights, conduct volumetric change detection at multiple
thresholds, and make maps of our results that compare how the thresholds effect
net volume change.
2 What is/are the source(s) of the UAS data for your project? Briefly describe the data utilized
Our sources are the two datasets available at the La
Crescent mine location. The May 31st flight will be compared to the
Oct 3rd flight, which we conducted in class. The data is a series of
images that will need to be processed into an orthomosaic and DSM in Pix4D,
however, the flight plan is the same so the two different rasters should align.
3 Briefly describe the methodology you anticipate to follow and expected outcomes?
The methodology starts with image processing in Pix4D to
create an orthomosaic and DSM with full quality settings. In this step, GCPs
are added to the data. Next we will use the volume calculation tool in Pix4D to
determine volumetric change between the same selected area of the two different
datasets. To compare these calculations’ accuracy, we will also conduct volume
measurements using ArcMap for the DSM and TIN. The next step is geomorphic
change detection. To do this, we will use the GCD tool with the DSMs created
earlier to create DoDs for different thresholds. These thresholded DoDs will displayed
in maps.
