This paper presents a unique system specifically made to capture and create image mosaics of flat, wide, and shallow coral reefs at the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park to assist in the rapid assessment of the reef scars caused by the grounding of the USS Guardian last January 17, 2013. This system is composed of an array of underwater cameras coupled with a GPS and depth logging device, and a mosaicking...
We present a rapid shallow coastal reef mapping system using a previously developed inexpensive diver less video capture system coupled with a fast-image mosaicking technique, using an affordable GPS logging device. The system replaces the traditional manta tow system of assessing and monitoring large areas of coastal coral reefs and at the same time provides historical visual record for future references...
In this paper, we present an inexpensive system for diverless video capture and fast image stitching of image frames for rapid reef assessment of shallow coral reefs. Our system has two main components: 1) Teardrop, a boat-towable, winged hull apparatus designed to house a commercial digital camera, and 2) a mosaicking algorithm to stitch the coral reef video into mosaics for further appreciation...
