techniques to improve airborne imaging of underwater features using traditional
aircraft equipped with metric-grade cameras. Small unmanned aircraft systems
(sUAS) provide a paradigm shift in efficiency and low cost aerial surveying of
marine and coastal zones compared to traditional methods. This presentation
will show emergent applications of UAS-based remote sensing and photogrammetry
to coastal and marine environments. Topics covered will include the following:
(1) structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry and optical inversion for
mapping littoral zones; (2) airborne fluid lensing for monitoring of aquatic
resources; (3) debris mapping and plastics identification. Time permitting,
additional examples on the emergent use of UAS for coastal and marine
surveillance will be presented.<span></span></span></p>
