GatorEye data usage Terms and Conditions
Use of GatorEye data or derivative data products (hereafter referred to as 'data'), for other than viewing, will only be done following discussion with, and written permission of both co-directors Eben Broadbent and Angelica Almeyda Zambrano. Projects using GatorEye data will be conducted in close collaboration with Drs. Eben Broadbent, Angelica Almeyda Zambrano, and Ben Wilkinson, who will be offered co-authorship on all resulting publications and products (e.g., presentations, posters, reports). Additional required GatorEye related co-authors (e.g., team members) will vary by mission and be provided by GatorEye co-directors on a case-by-case basis. In some cases, we provide preliminary additional project mission team member information below. Redistribution of data is not permitted; rather interested parties should be directed to this website. Please contact Eben Broadbent with any questions at eben@ufl.edu, and see the GatorEye website for more information at: www.gatoreye.org
To access data please simply agree to the terms and conditions above by typing (or copy / paste) as the password the following text between the quotation symbols "I agree to the GatorEye data usage Terms and Conditions" to access the data download site at the below campaign links.

Version updates
Planned Fall, 2019 - Drone -borne down-welling hyperspectral sensor integration (for line-by-line reflectance calculation), radiometric thermal integration, and high-res visual sensor with 72 degrees FOV upgrades.
06/15/19 - LiDAR sensor upgraded to 250m range 32 laser sensor (Ultra Puck 32c).
01/25/19 - Hyperspectral sensor factory radiometrically calibrated.
10/09/18 - LiDAR post-processing updated to version 33. Core products now include:
- Digital Elevation Model (DEM), 0.5 m resolution, raster .tif format
- Digital Elevation Model (DEM), 0.5 m resolution, point cloud, .laz format
- Digital Surface Model (DSM), 0.5 m resolution, raster .tif format
- Canopy Height Model (CHM), 0.5 m resolution, pit-free algorithm, raster .tif format
- Full point clouds, filtered, elevation 'final elevation merged', .laz format
- Full point cloud, filtered, height above DEM, 'final heightz merged', .laz format
- DSM point cloud, 0.5 m resolution, interpolated non-reflective ground spaces (e.g., asphalt, water), .laz format, 'canopy_thin_ground_filled_merged_thin'
10/10/18 - LiDAR firmware upgrade reduces sun related noise.
09/15/18 - Post-processing LiDAR workflow products will be shared for all missions, starting to work through them now. Hyperspectral data shared for selected missions as it is processed. Note: Mosaic (3 to 1 band spectral binned) hyperspectral data is available for 2018 Florida OSBS Lake McCloud as today.
02/02/18 - Future LAS data will be provided as LAS version 1.2 for greater compatibility with open source software. In the LiDAR folder we will have an additional folder named the version of the LAS file if multiple LAS versions are provided.
01/31/18 - Lever Arm (IMU to GNSS Antenna) values corrected. All LiDAR versions after this date have correct lever arm values included (via IE processing) and are at full density (per 12/01/17 update below). We will now also provide flight line point cloud (.las) for each mission, as well as merged flight lines unique to each plot (if it is a plot based mission). We are also providing .tif versions of all RGB images with an associated Pix4D format file having SBET IE differential corrected location and view angle values (accurate to within < 2 cm XYZ).
12/01/17 - New LiDAR processing workflow increases point cloud density by 2400%. LiDAR data folders after this date (standard folder format will be "LiDAR_vMMDDYY" are at full point cloud density.
