| Lineage | For each site, a mapping mission flew a DJI-Phantom 4 pro unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with an RGB camera mounted on it (FOV 84° 8.8 mm/24 mm (35 mm format equivalent) f/2.8–f/11 auto focus at 1 m–∞). The overlap of the images was 80%, and the height was between 70 and 100 m depending on coastal topography. The time of the day for the flights was between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The aerial images were processed using Agisoft Metashape. (Mora-Soto et al., 2020) |
