“…Imagery types include digital and film aerial photography, multispectral and hyperspectral airborne scanners and the visible bands of satellites such as Landsat, SPOT, Quickbird and IKONOS. Recent developments in digital multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing have resulted in an increase in the use of these methods to map and monitor seabed habitats in shallow waters due to improved performance (e.g., Phinn et al, 2001;Andréfouët et al, 2001;Malthus and Karpouzli, 2003;Dekker et al, 2005).…”
