This workshop aims to assess the understanding of the different underwater image-based methods (video or photography) for biological and physical data acquisition and its use for fine to broad-scale habitat mapping (habitat+species) and/or as a tool for groundtruthing of acoustic signals and classification data.
The ultimate goal of this MeshAtlantic workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the following areas relevant to habitat mapping:
(i) data acquisition using video and photography,
(ii) annotation and data extraction methods and software,
(iii) statistical modelling of spatial distributions and (iv) map production.
The workshop will serve as a forum for presenting state of the art research, exchanging ideas and experiences, and facilitating interaction and collaboration.
