Novel approach to enhance coastal habitat and biotope mapping with drone aerial imagery analysis

Abstract Understanding the complex factors and mechanisms driving the functioning of coastal ecosystems is vital towards assessing how organisms, ecosystems, and ultimately human populations will cope with the ecological consequences of natural and anthropogenic impacts. Towards this goal, coastal m...
