Structure from motion (SfM) has seen rapid uptake recently in the fluvial and aquatic
sciences. This uptake is not least due to the widespread availability of cheap unmanned …

Ecosystem restoration has been practiced for over a century and is increasingly supported
by the emergent applied science of restoration ecology. A prerequisite for successful …

Robust recovery of lost colors in underwater images remains a challenging problem. We
recently showed that this was partly due to the prevalent use of an atmospheric image …

With almost limitless applications across marine and freshwater environments, the number
of people using, and wanting to use, remotely piloted aircraft systems (or drones) is …

Growth and contraction of ecosystem engineers, such as trees, influence ecosystem
structure and function. On coral reefs, methods to measure small changes in the structure of …

We present a method to construct and analyse 3D models of underwater scenes using a
single cost-effective camera on a standard laptop with (a) free or low-cost software,(b) no …

The rugosity or complexity of the seafloor has been shown to be an important ecological
parameter for fish, algae, and corals. Historically, rugosity has been measured either using …

Coral growth rates vary significantly with environmental conditions and are thus important
indicators of coral health and reef carbonate production. Despite the importance of this …

As marine species adapt to climate change, their heat tolerance will likely be under strong
selection. Yet trade-offs between heat tolerance and other life history traits could …

Habitat structural complexity influences biotic diversity and abundance, but its influence on
marine ecosystems has not been widely addressed. Recent advances in computer vision …
