A diver-operated hyperspectral imaging and topographic surveying system for automated mapping of benthic habitats

Abstract We developed a novel integrated technology for diver-operated surveying of shallow marine ecosystems. The HyperDiver system captures rich multifaceted data in each transect: hyperspectral and color imagery, topographic profiles, incident irradiance and water chemistry at a rate of 15–30 m2...
