The primary objective of SI 1333 was to develop innovative technology to increase the speed and repeatability with which reef plots can be mapped and inventoried. Specifically, we used underwater images to create landscape (2D) mosaics of reef plots in a highly automated way. The innovative aspect of the mosaicing technology is that the images provide both landscapelevel (meter-scale) maps and high-resolution (sub-millimeter) images of individual coral colonies. Users can ...
