Detail. Payload calibration procedures are developed and analyzed, together with a description of the Lightning Lab Calibration Site, a permanent installation for the calibration and evaluation of UAV-based payloads. The development of the physical payload and operational considerations such as flight planning and required overlap are evaluated. A novel sensor synchronization architecture is described and an error model for synchronization developed and analyzed. A synthesized processing algorithm is developed along with a survey of alternative approaches and potential improvements. The implementation of the algorithm is described and the accuracy of the algorithm is assessed using field data. Limitations of the technique are identified and examined throughout, with recommendations for future developments.
