This system will be the prototype for the sensor part of a robust, COTS-based UAS system to aid the NOAA national coral reef monitoring program. Different coral families and species will be identified by close inspection of spectral responses combined with advanced machine learning algorithms.[1] once a system is built to collect hyperspectral aerial imagery of corals, oceanit will apply computer vision and machine learning techniques to identify coral families and species based on this data. There have been significant advances in differentiation of bottom types, coral fami-lies, and coral species over the years.[2][3] bottom type classification is well-established, and coral species identification has been performed for several coral species around the world.
