This dataset contains RGB and multispectral imagery collected at TERN’s Calperum Mallee SuperSite during a field trial of an Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS), conducted to assess the use of drone-based imagery for the TERN Drone project across existing and future TERN sites (AusPlots, SuperSites, and Cal/Val sites). Standardised TERN Ecosystem Surveillance Drone Data Collection and Data Processing protocols are used to collect drone imagery and to generate orthomosaics. The protocols developed in 2022 are based on the DJI Matrice 300 (M300) RTK drone platform. DJI Zenmuse P1 and MicaSense RedEdge-MX/Dual sensors are used with M300 to capture RGB and multispectral imagery simultaneously. The data is georeferenced using the DJI D-RTK2 base station and onboard GNSS RTK. In the processing workflow, the multispectral image positions (captured with navigation-grade accuracy) are interpolated using image timestamp and RGB image coordinates. Dense point clouds and the fine-resolution RGB smoothed surface were used to generate co-registered RGB (1 cm/pixel) and multispectral (5 cm/pixel) orthomosaics. Mission-specific metadata for each plot is provided in the imagery/metadata folder. The Drone Data Collection and RGB and Multispectral Imagery Processing protocols can be found at https://www.tern.org.au/field-survey-apps-and-protocols/ .
