Large-Area Imaging Network
The Large-area imaging (LAI) Network is founded to provide community resources for mapping coral reefs. Technological innovations have offered new avenues for describing, archiving, and sharing information about the composition and structure of the world's coral reefs. However, access to these technologies are not broadly available.
The LAI Network offers a working environment for sharing information about image-based mapping, including access to training materials, data, and a community of practitioners with shared interests. We welcome you to learn more about LAI and to join our network, as we strive to accelerate our efforts of coral reef monitoring, management, and restoration worldwide.
WANT TO LEARN MORE?
The LAI Network offers a video course, teaching students to apply underwater 3D imaging techniques to coral reef science and monitoring.
The course offers an introduction to the image collection and model construction using structure-from-motion based software...
A growing collection of materials are available for coral reef practitioners to learn from large-area imaging.
The LAI Network provides a repository for written training materials in techniques of LAI and data analysis from LAI products. Further, we offer access to visualizations and data products from LAI efforts from coral reefs worldwide. Please explore to learn more, and we welcome your contributions to this network of coral reef practitioners.
Created in collaboration, by experts in the field, across disciplines.
