Ecological Applications of Large Area Imagery by EcoRRAP

Renata Ferrari (AIMS, EcoRRAP/RRAP)

A showcase of methods used to extract data and applications of LAI to inform coral restoration in the context of EcoRRAP/RRAP.  Topics will include approaches to temporal coregistration, ecological metrics (complexity, demographic data from TagLab, percent cover using ReefCloud); 3D Gaussian splatting and  NeRF experiments; RapidBenthos (SAM for semantic segmentation in ReefCloud); using LAI to quantify bleaching.
