Spatially and temporally high-resolution data was acquired with the aid of multispectral sensors mounted on UAV and a gyrocopter platform for the purpose of classification. The work was part of the research and development project „Modern sensors and airborne remote sensing for the mapping of vegetation and hydromorphology along Federal waterways in Germany“ (mDRONES4rivers) in cooperation of the German Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG), Geocoptix GmbH, Hochschule Koblenz und JB Hyperspectral Devices. Within the project period (2019-2022) data was collected at different sites situated in Germany along the Rivers Rhine and Oder. All published data produced within the project can be found by searching for the keyword ‘mDRONES4rivers‘. In this dataset, the following portfolios of classifications, UAS and gyrocopter data of project sites situated in riparian zones along federal waterways in Germany with focus on the Rhine River are available for download: • Multispectral orthophotos produced with the aid of UAS (PDF, Detailed description of sensors and data acquisition procedure; abbreviation: MS_ORTHO) • RGB-orthophotos and digital surface models produced with the aid of UAS (PDF, Detailed description of sensors and data acquisition procedure; abbreviation: PH_SR_ORTHO_DSM) • Multispectral orthophotos and Digital Surface Models produced with the aid of a gyrocopter (PDF, Detailed description of sensors and data acquisition procedure; abbreviation: PANX_ORTHO_DSM) • Classification results based on UAV- and a gyrocopter data (PDF, Detailed description of processing procedure for different classification levels; abbreviation: CLASSIF_PROD) • German translated version of all above mentioned product portfolios (PDF, abbreviation: product_portfolio_collection_ger)

This dataset results from the joint project "mDRONES4rivers" funded by the research initiative mFUND of the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport – BMDV (19F2054A-D). Person in Charge: Bjoern Baschek
