Quantifying 3D coral reef structural complexity from 2D drone imagery using artificial intelligence by Aviv Suan, Simone Franceschini, Joushua Madin, Elizabeth Madin

“…In this study, we present an approach that integrates drones, various color space information, and deep learning neural networks to predict three-dimensional complexity metrics—height range, rugosity and fractal dimension—across large (thousands of m2) spatial scales. The validation of our model resulted in R2 values of 0.71, 0.65, and 0.56 for each metric, respectively, indicating a robust predictive capability. …”
