End of the chain? Rugosity and fine-scale bathymetry from existing underwater digital imagery using structure-from-motion (SfM) technology
CD Storlazzi, P Dartnell, GA Hatcher, AE Gibbs - Coral Reefs, 2016 - Springer
The rugosity or complexity of the seafloor has been shown to be an important ecological
parameter for fish, algae, and corals. Historically, rugosity has been measured either using …

Digital reef rugosity estimates coral reef habitat complexity
P Dustan, O Doherty, S Pardede - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Ecological habitats with greater structural complexity contain more species due to increased
niche diversity. This is especially apparent on coral reefs where individual coral colonies …
