Editor's Notes
- #3: UPDATE!!!
- #6: Georectify and process imagery into Orthomosaic images (2-cm resolution)
- #8: Develop Digital Surface Models using photogrammetry to calculate elevations with SolSpec software (2-cm resolution) Use RGB Orthomosaics (spectral) and Digital Surface Models (structural) as inputs to SolSpec analytic tools Summarized results delivered to the desktop
