Given the need to describe, analyze and index large quantities of marine imagery data for
exploration and monitoring activities, a range of specialized image annotation tools have …

Global climate change and other anthropogenic stressors have heightened the need to
rapidly characterize ecological changes in marine benthic communities across large scales …

Coral reefs are suffering global declines due to climate change, natural disasters, pollution,
and diseases. Coral disease events have increased in frequency and severity in the past …

Coral reefs have long attracted attention because of their biological and economic
importance, but this interest now has turned to examining the possibility of functional …

Coral reefs are home to a variety of species, and their preservation is a popular study area;
however, monitoring them is a significant challenge, for which the use of robots offers a …

We developed a novel integrated technology for diver-operated surveying of shallow marine
ecosystems. The HyperDiver system captures rich multifaceted data in each transect …

The accurate classification and 3D mapping of benthic habitats in coastal ecosystems are
vital for developing management strategies for these valuable shallow water environments …

Habitat structural complexity is one of the most important factors in determining the makeup
of biological communities. Recent advances in structure‐from‐motion and photogrammetry …

Ecological measurements in marine settings are often constrained in space and time, with
spatial heterogeneity obscuring broader generalisations. While advances in remote sensing …

Large-scale imaging techniques are used increasingly for ecological surveys. However,
manual analysis can be prohibitively expensive, creating a bottleneck between collected …
