Full description

The Australian Antarcic Division (AAD) contracted Helicopter Resources to fly remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) on Voyage 1 2016/17. The RPA were used to take aerial photographs for sea ice reconnaisance from the RSV Aurora Australis, aerial photographs of Davis, aerial photographs for building roof inspections at Davis and aerial photographs of part of Heidemann Valley. Video was also recorded from the RSV Aurora Australis and of Heidemann Valley. The flights over Heidemann Valley were done at the request of the AAD's Antarctic Modernisation Taskforce. The roof inspections were done at the request of the AAD's Infrastructure section.

The following can be downloaded or requested from this metadata record:
1 A report prepared by Doug Thost, the chief RPA pilot;
2 The aerial photographs of Davis and Heidemann Valley; and
3 Some panoramas created from aerial photographs taken at Davis.

Lineage

Progress Code: completed
Statement: An orthophoto mosaic and a Digital Surface Model (DSM) were created from the aerial photographs of Heidemann Valley (see section 5.5 and Appendix 3 in the report) using a service provided by www.mapsmadeeasy.com. However no control points were used so this data has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre. The metadata record with ID aerial_surveys_vestfold_2017-18 describes three aerial surveys of Davis station and an area of the Vestfold Hills to the north-east of the station carried out in 2017/18. An orthophoto mosaic and a DSM were products of each survey. Ground control points were used to constrain the DSM for each survey.
