Reef Check California

Measuring the shape of underwater study plots

Location: Monterey, California.

Year: 2021.

Organization: Reef Check California.

My role: underwater photogrammetry surveys and surface-area estimation from 3D reconstructions.

For an urchin remediation study, I used underwater photogrammetry to estimate the surface area of rugose plots with uneven, complex surfaces.

Supporting the study

I documented plots and estimated their surface area.

From field images to measurements

Photographs became 3D models whose geometry supported plot-area estimates.
