Map the global coral
Scientists have published a series of unique photos about the coral world in the project
Scientists have published a series of unique photos about the coral world in the 'Caltin Seaview Survey' project (Caltin Sea Vision Survey) with the aim of mapping the world-wide map and studying the great life positive.
The team embarked on the work of mapping Australia's giant Barrier coral reef in September 2012, using a deep-sea diving robot along with high-tech cameras, called SeaView SVII.
Some images of the giant coral reef Barrier are captured by high-tech cameras
Scientists say the high-tech SeaView SVII camera has revolutionized the ocean, automating images with high sharpness that no camera has ever done before.
Under-ocean images taken with 360-degree angles every three seconds, the camera will accurately record the position and orientation of the photo with a GPS device, allowing scientists to accurately assess the health status of Coral reef.
More than 50,000 photos in the expedition 20 coral reefs will be "stitched" together by a special software. From there the image of the coral map will appear on Google Earth.
Hoegh - Guldberg, one of the marine biologists, said: 'We are now halfway through the journey. Meanwhile you will take 100 years to do this with ordinary divers along with normal cameras ".
Observing and studying a number of remote coral reefs in the world will allow scientists to correctly answer the question: when, where and why it is so important. gender is declining.
