Water Column Correction for Coral Reef Studies by Remote Sensing
Human activity and natural climate trends constitute a major threat to coral reefs worldwide. Models predict a significant reduction in reef spatial extension together with a decline in biodiversity in the relatively near future. In this context, monitoring programs to detect changes in reef ecosystems are essential. In recent years, coral reef mapping using remote sensing data has benefited fr...
متن کاملCoral Reef Habitat Mapping Using Meris: Can Meris Detect Coral Bleaching?
RESUME In this study we have performed in situ optical characterisation of reef waters and adjacent ocean waters and substratum type and cover. Next we developed an inversion optimisation method to infer water column composition, bathymetry and per pixel unmixing of substratum type and/or cover using MERIS FR scenes. Based on sensitivity analysis of the forward optical model, MERIS is capable o...
متن کاملImage-Based Coral Reef Classification and Thematic Mapping
This paper presents a novel image classification scheme for benthic coral reef images that can be applied to both single image and composite mosaic datasets. The proposed method can be configured to the characteristics (e.g., the size of the dataset, number of classes, resolution of the samples, color information availability, class types, etc.) of individual datasets. The proposed method uses ...
متن کاملDigital Reef Rugosity Estimates Coral Reef Habitat Complexity
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 aggregate to give a reef its morphology, species zonation, and three dimensionality. Structural complexity is classically measured with a reef rugosity index, which is the ratio of a straight line transect to the...
متن کاملEcology. Coral reef biodiversity--habitat size matters.
Coral reefs are the most diverse of all marine ecosystems (1), with estimates of reef species ranging from 600,000 to more than 9 million species worldwide (2, 3). This biodiversity is most pronounced in the western Pacific and Indian Oceans (1, 4), but decreases with increasing distance from the Indo-Australian archipelago. For example, reefs in the central Indo-Pacific have more than 10 times...
