About This workshop
This intensive one-day workshop offers participants practical experience in utilizing cutting-edge drone technology and artificial intelligence for critical coral reef monitoring. Attendees will gain hands-on skills in mission planning, safe drone deployment over marine environments, and collecting high-resolution imagery crucial for ecological surveys. We will delve into post-processing techniques, including photogrammetry to create 3D models and applying machine learning algorithms to identify coral species, assess bleaching, and quantify habitat changes, providing actionable insights for conservationists. Designed for environmental scientists, marine biologists, and tech enthusiasts, this event will equip you with the tools to contribute to vital ocean health initiatives and sustainable resource management in Hawaii and beyond.
