Measuring the spatiotemporal variability in snow depth in subarctic environments using UASs – Part 1: Measurements, processing, and accuracy assessment

“…UAS platforms and their use in general topographic mapping have been reviewed by Nex and Remendino (2014) and Colomina and Molina (2014), whereas relevant camera system and camera setting considerations have been reviewed by Mosbrucker et al (2017) andO'Connor et al (2017), as well as different challenges related to, for example, location and weather by Duffy et al (2018) and Kramar et al (2022). Typical platform considerations, such as payload, flight speed, and wind resistance, are relevant for snow depth mapping, but there are also some special considerations to be made.…”

Measuring the spatiotemporal variability of snow depth in subarctic environments using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) – Part 1: Measurements, processing, and accuracy assessment

“…Different challenges related to the operation of lightweight UASs, such as pre-flight planning, flight operations, weather, redundancy, data quality and batteries have been comprehensively discussed by, among others, Duffy et al (2018) and Kramar et al (2022). When operating in subarctic winter, weather-related phenomena produce the clearest challenges in terms of preflight preparations, operation, data quality and battery life.…”
