Exploring the use of AI to support Mission: Iconic Reefs

3D model of a 10m x 10m plot of coral reef NCCOS is exploring the use of AI to support Mission: Iconic Reefs. Using images collected in the field, our scientists are able to construct 3D models of #coralreefs, from which they can calculate community composition & structural complexity of the reef. https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/project/developing-and-scaling-up-emerging-image-based-technology-for-evaluating-mission-iconic-reefs-large-scale-coral-restoration-in-the-florida-keys-national-marine-sanctuary/
