The LUMCON Lawn by Chris Fastie

Canon Powershot A495

The Louisiana Marine Consortium facility in Cocodrie, Louisiana. During the Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science Barn raising on November 3, 2012, several kite flights lofted cameras over the LUMCON property. The base map, including the building at center, was made by Stewart Long from photos captured November 4th during a higher altitude balloon flight. The vegetation around the building was photographed with a dual camera visible/infrared rig lofted by a Fled kite. I used Photoshop to manually stitch about 80 of the 590 regular RGB photos with Stewart's stitched image underneath. Now I have to learn to use GDAL to georeference this image and create a tile set for the PLOTS archive.
