DELPHI - fast and adaptive computational laser point detection and visual footprint quantification for arbitrary underwater image collections

Marine researchers continue to create large quantities of benthic images e.g. using AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles). In order to quantify the size of sessile objects in the images, a pixel-to-centimetre ratio is required for each image, often indirectly provided through a geometric laser point...
