Test of the Capability of Laser Line Scan Technology to Support Benthic Habitat Mapping in Coral Reef Ecosystems, Maui Island, November 2006
Description
The utility of Laser Line Scan (LLS) Technology for optical validation of benthic habitat map data from coral reef ecosystems was tested with a deployment of a Northrop Grumman SM-2000 Laser Line Scan (LLS) system, which is owned and operated by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Data were collected between the islands of Lanai, Molokai, and Maui in the Main Hawaiian Islands during a dedicated cruise aboard the NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai in November 2006.
