MEASURING ARTIFICIAL REEFS USING A MULTI-CAMERA SYSTEM FOR UNMANNED UNDERWATER VEHICLES

MEASURING ARTIFICIAL REEFS USING A MULTI-CAMERA SYSTEM FOR UNMANNED UNDERWATER VEHICLES

Artificial reefs provide an efficient way to improve marine life abundance in the oceans, including growth on the structure itself. Photogrammetric methods provide suitable tools to measure marine growth. This paper focusses on cubic reefs placed in Western Australia. The capturing platform featured...
