 Using unmanned aircraft systems as remote sensing platforms offers the unique ability for repeated deployment for acquisition of high temporal resolution data at very high spatial resolution. We developed automated batch processing methods for file conversion, band-to-band registration, radiometric correction, and orthoactification. An object-based image analysis approach was used to derive a species-level vegetation classification for the image mosaic with an overall accuracy of 87%.
