International Evaluation of Algorithms for Mapping in Optically Shallow Waters. This work provides a means for Australian science and management agencies to apply a method for accurately mapping shallow coastal environments. The work will build Australian research capability by developing new collaborations among experienced researchers; as well as allowing the Australian teams to benchmark their proposed methods internationally. Nationally, the work will strengthen international research exper ....International Evaluation of Algorithms for Mapping in Optically Shallow Waters. This work provides a means for Australian science and management agencies to apply a method for accurately mapping shallow coastal environments. The work will build Australian research capability by developing new collaborations among experienced researchers; as well as allowing the Australian teams to benchmark their proposed methods internationally. Nationally, the work will strengthen international research experience and generate opportunities for postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers to link into leading-edge international research networks. This work will also allow us to build strong ongoing collaborations between research teams in Australia and their counterparts overseas (specifically USA, Canada, UK and Germany). Read moreRead less
Coral Reefs - Innovative Satellite Image Mapping Techniques. Two primary outcomes are expected from this project, the first is aimed at solving a fundamental challenge to understanding and managing coral reefs in Australia and worldwide. The optimal reef mapping method(s) will enable coral reef monitoring and management programs in Australia and internationally to make full use of satellite and airborne image data sets. Secondly, the project will significantly advance the capabilities of remote ....Coral Reefs - Innovative Satellite Image Mapping Techniques. Two primary outcomes are expected from this project, the first is aimed at solving a fundamental challenge to understanding and managing coral reefs in Australia and worldwide. The optimal reef mapping method(s) will enable coral reef monitoring and management programs in Australia and internationally to make full use of satellite and airborne image data sets. Secondly, the project will significantly advance the capabilities of remote sensing applications in coral reefs, by providing a unique international test of current state of the art algorithms.In combination, these outcomes will enable Australia to continue to play a role as the world's leading developer and provider of solutions for coral reef monitoring and management.Read moreRead less
