Description:

This is a practical guide to the implementation of large-area imaging (LAI) for coral reef scientists. LAI refers to an approach to generate composite 3D (and derived 2D) image products from sequences of field-collected images using structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry. Coral reef scientists conducting coral restoration, environmental monitoring, or research often require time series or high taxonomic resolution data to calculate metrics such as abundance or density, percent cover, species condition, and reef complexity. These data have a history of in situ collection by divers; however, the time-intensive challenge of traditional fieldwork approaches limits the volume and spatial extent of data collection and is therein a fundamental bottleneck for many restoration, monitoring, and research objectives.
