We present a novel system which blends multiple distinct sensing modalities in audio-visual surveys to assist marine biologists in collecting datasets for understanding the ecological relationship of fish and other organisms with their habitats on and around coral reefs. Our system, designed for the…
The current approach to exploring and monitoring complex underwater ecosystems, such as coral reefs, is to conduct surveys using diver-held or static cameras, or deploying sensor buoys. These approaches often fail to capture the full variation and complexity of interactions between different reef or…
In this paper, we present an approach that enables long-term monitoring of biological activity on coral reefs by extending mission time and adaptively focusing sensing resources on high-value periods. Coral reefs are one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet; yet they are also among the mo…
