Detailed Description
The largest coral reef ecosystem in the world, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), is threatened by many human-made impacts. Due to the size of the GBR and limited accessibility, mapping and monitoring has always been a challenging task. Remote Sensing is an effective technique that provides valuable information for the GBR ecosystem.
The authors applied a supervised machine learning algorithm to classify Landsat 8 imagery over the GBR. They were able to identify 5 coral reef classes within the GBR with good accuracy. Read the paper here: https://www.lidsen.com/journals/aeer/aeer-02-04-028
