- Abstract
We present a collection of digital elevation models and orthorectified mosaics of fractures associated to massively dilatant faults (MDF) in several selected areas in Iceland. The dataset was created from aerial images acquired along the Icelandic rift zone using unmanned aerial vehicles and processed to DEMs and orthorectified mosaics using photogrammetry software. The data was acquired using a DJI Phantom 4 or Mavic Pro UAV with a 12MP camera sensor, or a DJI Phantom 4 Advanced with a 20MP camera sensor. The products show the fractures and faults in high resolution from ~ 5 cm/pixel to ~ 15/pixel in the DEMs and orthorectified mosaics. The DEMs and orthorectified mosaics were produced from sets of overlapping photographs shot from different altitude and created using the photogrammetry processing software Agisoft PhotoScan Professional V. 1.3.2 (2017).
