E. P., A. Rodriguez-Ramirez, S. Phinn, M. Gonzalez-Rivero, K. T. Brown, B. P. Neal, O. Hoegh-Guldberg, and S. Dove. 2017. Comparison of two photographic methodologies for collecting and analyzing the condition of coral reef ecosystems. Ecosphere 8(10):e01971. 10.1002/ecs2.1971 Abstract. Coral reefs are declining rapidly in response to unprecedented rates of environmental change. Rapid and scalable measurements of how benthic ecosystems are responding to these changes are critically important. Recent technological developments associated with the XL Catlin Seaview Survey have begun to provide high-resolution 1-m2 photographic quadrats of ~1.8–2 km of coral reefs at 10 m depth by using a semi-autonomous image collection SeaView II camera system (SVII). The rapid collection of images by SVII can result in images being taken at a variable distance (1–2 m) from the substrate as well as having natural light variability between images captured.
