Poster Symposium Subject and Prep

Topic

For the upcoming poster symposium, Evan Hockridge, and I will be taking the accuracy of flood extent delineation between two different uas remote sensing methods. We will first work with geospatial video technique with manual flight. The second method will be autonomous flight with multispectral photogrammetry,  The plan is for the accuracy to be determined by comparing where flood water can be delineated with ground control measurements. These ground control measurements will be taken at the boundary of the river. Also, we will be utilizing models that will be created in ArcPro with our flight data to compare results. My prediction is that autonomous flight with multispectral photogrammetry will provide more accurate results. However, I could also see manual flight with geospatial video providing some advantages

in certain environments.

Literature Review

So far, Evan and I have been creating a literature review. Some of the journal articles review UAS operations in emergency situations, current flood assessment methods, geospatial video accuracy, and more. You can check out the articles here.

Next Steps:

Add more sources to class project literature review

Since the weather is finally starting to look more promising, the plan is to go out and prep GCP points on Wednesday (2/27) for the class project and for my team's poster session.
