Extracting Coral Vital Rate Estimates at Fixed Sites Using Structure-from-Motion Standard Operating Procedures
Here, we outline a method of directly measuring coral vital rates via structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry — an image processing technique capable of reconstructing accurate, orthorectified representations of the seafloor and the coral communities t...
Comparing Coral Colony Surveys From In-Water Observations and Structure-From-Motion Imagery Shows Low Methodological Bias
As the threats to coral reefs mount, scientists and managers are looking for innovative ways to increase the scope, scale, and efficiency of coral reef monitoring. Monitoring changes in coral communities and demographic features provides key information a...
Acoustic characterization of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems of West Hawai'i
Coral reef habitats in Hawai'i are common in shallow waters and extend into mesophotic depths (30-150 m). However, habitat monitoring efforts have been concentrated in depths constrained by safe dive limits of 0-30 m. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs), l...
Processing Photomosaic Imagery of Coral Reefs Using Structure-from-Motion Standard Operating Procedures
This document provides detailed procedures for collecting and processing imagery using Structure-from-Motion techniques developed by Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) in collaboration with Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of Hawaii a...
Comparing coral demographic surveys from in situ observations and Structure-from-Motion imagery shows low methodological bias
NOAA’s Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) at the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) executes the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program’s National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) across 40 primary islands, atolls, and shallow banks in the...
Preliminary Results of Patterns of 2019 Thermal Stress and Coral Bleaching Across the Hawaiian Archipelago
NOAA’s Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) Ecosystems Sciences Division (ESD) planned and conducted a multi-institutional response in partnership with the Hawaii Coral Bleaching Collaborative to build a comprehensive dataset of the spatial ex...
Interdisciplinary baseline ecosystem assessment surveys to Inform ecosystem-based management planning in Timor-Leste : final report
This document is the final report on the activities performed by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) from 2012 to 2016, through a partnership agreement with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID...
Structure from motion images collected during marine debris surveys at coral reef sites entangled with fishing nets at Pearl and Hermes Atoll in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands from 2018/09/24 to 2018/10/03
The photographs described in this dataset were collected using a Structure from Motion (SfM) approach during in-water marine debris swim surveys conducted by snorkelers in search of derelict fishing nets. Surveys were conducted by the NOAA Fisheries, Ecos...
Benthic Habitat Maps for Rose Atoll Marine National Monument in American Samoa from 2004 to 2010
Benthic habitat maps for Rose Atoll, American Samoa were derived from high resolution, multispectral satellite imagery for 2004, 2006, and 2010. The benthic habitat maps for 2004 were previously generated by NOAA's NCCOS's BioGeography Branch before this ...
