Researchers in Computer Science, AI and Engineering are collaborating with Life Sciences at the University of Essex to develop state-of-the-art techniques for rapid marine surveying and coral reef conservation using 3D technology. By combining computer vision techniques with multi-sensor surveying, we aim to scale up traditional surveying approaches and increase the accuracy and scope of data that can be collected and analysed.
