Automatic Semantic Segmentation of Benthic Habitats Using Images from Towed Underwater Camera in a Complex Shallow Water Environment

Remote Sensing, 2022
Underwater image segmentation is useful for benthic habitat mapping and monitoring; however, manual annotation is time-consuming and tedious. We propose automated segmentation of benthic habitats using unsupervised semantic algorithms.

Classifying the Baltic Sea Shallow Water Habitats Using Image-Based and Spectral Library Methods

Remote Sensing, 2013
The structure of benthic macrophyte habitats is known to indicate the quality of coastal water. Thus, a large-scale analysis of the spatial patterns of coastal marine habitats enables us to adequately estimate the status of valuable coastal marine ...

Shallow-Water Coral Communities Support the Separation of Marine Ecoregions on the West-Central Florida Gulf Coast

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Florida’s west coast is a 170,000 km2 bedrock shelf (west Florida shelf, WFS) comprised of north-south discontinuous carbonate outcroppings extending more than 200 km from the intertidal zone to a depth of 200 m.
