This dataset was captured during the field investigation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in June 2021 using uav aerial photography. The data volume is 3.4 GB and includes more than 330 aerial photographs. The shooting locations mainly include roads, residential areas and their surrounding areas in Lhasa Nyingchi of Tibet, Dali and Nujiang of Yunnan province, Ganzi, Aba and Liangshan of Sichuan Province. These aerial photographs mainly reflect local land use/cover type, the distribution of facility agriculture land, vegetation coverage. Aerial photographs have spatial location information such as longitude, latitude and altitude, which can not only provide basic verification information for land use classification, but also provide reference for remote sensing image inversion of large-scale regional vegetation coverage by calculating vegetation coverage.

File naming and required software

The data is stored in JPG data format, and the files are classified and named according to the provinces where the data is obtained;
Use the picture viewer to view in Windows system. Right click Data > Properties > details > GPS column to obtain the time, latitude and longitude and altitude information of data acquisition;
Use Photoshop and other software tools to calculate and extract vegetation coverage.
