Rotmoos

Notes on the Dataset

  • For 2017, only images and ground control points are available, but no reconstructed point cloud.
  • The 201906_Rotmoos_TPHG is not georeferenced and seems to depict another location than the remaining scans.
  • 20190618_rotmoos_rockfall_THPG depicts another location compared to the other scans (but also in the Rotmoos valley).
  • The spatial coverage of the epochs is quite different, which makes it hard to determine the share of partial epochs. If we take the first 2022 scans as reference, 3 of 5 remaining scans have only partial coverage.
