Abstract: Low-altitude high-resolution aerial photographs allow for the reconstruction of structural properties of shallow coral reefs and the quantification of their topographic complexity. This study shows the scope and limitations of two-media (air/water) Structure from Motion— Multi-View Stereo reconstruction method using drone aerial photographs to reconstruct coral height. We...
