PARAMETERS & UNITS: XYZ Coordinates (m), H (m), V (m s-1), WS (m s-1)

DESCRIPTION: 
Point cloud generated from a UAV platform, with a RGB camera. 
The ecosystem surveyed is an experimental arable land, composed by a perennial cropland system. 
For detailed information about the crop system and rotation cycle, refer to this document (SITES Agroecological Field Experiment (SAFE) - Description; PID: https://meta.fieldsites.se/objects/_Eu76kOwEaReq39cluHGHGdG).
The UAV flight covers an area which is defined by the following polygon coordinates (latitude, longitude in GCS WGS84, decimal degrees): 
55.667394, 13.106662; 55.667207, 13.110335; 55.669652, 13.111921; 55.669318, 13.106816; 55.667394, 13.106662

FLIGHT PARAMETERS:
75% side and front overlap, nominally. 
Nominal flight height (H) 100 m above ground surface.
Nominal flight speed (V) 8 m s-1.

WEATHER CONDITIONS:
Light conditions during the flight were mainly sunny.
Average wind speed (WS) during flight was between 0 - 2 m s-1.
 
SENSOR DESCRIPTION:
Data acquired with a Phantom 4 PRO V2.0 camera.  

GEOREFERENCING: 
Geometric correction performed with 6 Ground Control Points (geometric model RMSE: 0.052 m)
The point clouds projection is SWEREF99_TM (EPSG:3006).

PROCESSING METHODS:
Point clouds processed using Metashape 1.6.2. 
Details about processing can be found in the Metashape report (SITES_UAV-RGB_LON_SFA_20200420.PDF) which is available
within the downloaded .zip folder.

QUALITY CONTROL FLAGGING (QFLAG):
Quality flag value for the RGB flight is 132. First and second digit refers to the radiometric and geometric accuracy respectively while last one remaining 
refers to the presence or absence of visual artificats in the data if any. 
For detailed information about data quality flagging system used within SITES Spectral, refer to this document (SITES Spectral – Data Quality Flagging (QFLAG) Documentation; PID: https://meta.fieldsites.se/objects/yHjlJ9dsmPzMNAGPswfSlEtC)
