<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">We flew the site with a drone and collected images that provided us with an orthomosaic, point cloud, and DSM (digital surface model) of the wash. Ground control points were put out and the images
and elevation models came into QGIS accurately (no rectification was needed). This flight was before the analog beaver dams were installed (2021).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">We flew the same site last month and produced orthomosaic, point cloud, and DSM. However, we were not able to put out ground control so we needed to rectify the images in QGIS so they would align
with the 20213 imagery and models. We were able to align the orthomosaic using Georeferencer ( 3.28.2). We have not been able to rectify the DSM.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">To attempt to rectify the DSM we used the same control points as used for the orthomosaic (the surface model was aligned with the orthomosaic). This produces a file but its location was out of
the mapping area and the elevation data was no longer correct. We also used the 4 corners of the DSM for the control points in Georeferencer (these corners are the same corner extents as the rectified orthomosaic. This also produced a geotiff somewhere on
earth with no elevation data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">We also used the plugin Freehand Raster Georeferencer by using the 2 point method (1 point being the LL corner and the second point being the UR corner. The rectified orthomosaic that was produced
the same time the DSM was made was used as the base map. Again the produced file (png) was somewhere on earth but not in the correct location and the elevation data was corrupt.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
