HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE IMAGE COMPRESSION ON COMMODITY HARDWARE FOR REAL-TIME MAPPING APPLICATIONS

Permafrost landscapes in the Arctic are rapidly changing due to climate warming. We here publish aerial images and elevation models with very high spatial detail that help study these landscapes in northwestern Canada and Alaska. The images were collected using the Modular Aerial Camera System (MACS). This dataset has significant implications for understanding permafrost landscape dynamics in response to climate change. It is publicly available for further research.
