A dataset of the UAV remote sensing spatial distribution of Spartina alterniflora in the Zhangjiang Estuary of Fujian Province from 2013 to 2022

The drone photos were collected via automatic flight planning mainly during daytime low-tide periods. Based on the structure-from-motion three-dimension reconstruction technique, for each campaign the drone photos can be mosaiced into a digital orthophoto map, which is then used for extracting the spatial distribution of Spartina alterniflora.        The dataset contains 2 folders including 10 orthomosaics and 10 Spartina alterniflora data, respectively.

The file sizes are 1.7GB and 10.7MB for the orthomosaics and Spartina alterniflora data, respectively. All the data are in TIF format, and you can use GIS or remote sensing softwares like ArcGIS and ENVI to open them. The orthomosaics are named as "date-DOM" or the datasets with network RTK positioning service are named as "date-DOM-RTK".
