Scripps Scientists Use 3-D Photomosaic Technology to Study Coral Reefs (VIDEO)
Caption
In a study published recently in Coral Reefs, scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego created and analyzed detailed photomosaics of the coral reef at Palmyra Atoll, and made discoveries around coral spatial ecology. The scientists canvassed more than 17,000 square feet of reef, taking more than 39,000 images that were then stitched together to create 3-D photomosaics of the reef. These photomosaics are helping advance scientists' understanding of marine ecology.
