Statement:
The orthomosaic was generated from UAV imagery captured by the BAS Engineering Team at Rothera Research
Station.
### Instrumentation
UAV model:
* DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise
Camera specification:
* Sensor: 4/3 CMOS, 20 MP effective pixels
* Lens field of view: 84°
* Equivalent focal length: 24mm
* Aperture: f/2.8-f/11
* Focus range: 1m to infinity
* ISO range: 100-6400
* Electronic shutter speed: 8-1/8000s
* Mechanical shutter speed: 8-1/2000s
* Maximum image size: 5280x3956 pixels
### Data processing and accuracy
The orthomosaic was produced through photogrammetric processing of the UAV imagery and exported in the UTM
Zone 19S coordinate system.
No surveyed Ground Control Points were used during the processing. The dataset was therefore georeferenced
using the UAV's internal positional information only.
No independent accuracy assessment was undertaken; therefore, the positional accuracy of the dataset has
not been independently verified. As the imagery was not acquired or processed for accurate mapping or
survey purposes, no Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) has been specified, and no photogrammetric processing
or accuracy report is available for this item.
> [!WARNING]
> This orthomosaic is intended for visual reference, site awareness, and general progress-record purposes
only.
>
> It should not be used for precise measurement, setting out, design verification, engineering assessment,
asset positioning, boundary definition, or any other survey-grade application.
