Photogrammetry as a tool to improve reef restoration

珊瑚礁恢复正在成为人类世的一项重要管理工具。成功恢复珊瑚礁的一个先决条件是确定有意义和可衡量的目标。这需要以标准化的方式监控成功的工具。摄影测量为监测修复成功的一系列指标提供了一种潜在的工具。要了解恢复工作是否“成功”，需要了解自然恢复所涉及的内容，并考虑具体项目的目标。作为该项目的一部分，问题将包括：1)在受到干扰后，珊瑚礁上的自然恢复是如何展开的？2)恢复后的珊瑚礁与自然珊瑚礁相比如何？3)摄影测量如何改进恢复规划和目标设定？4)我们如何使用摄影测量来标准化恢复成功的指标？5)摄影测量能否帮助标准化珊瑚礁修复的监测技术？

Coral reef restoration is emerging as a critical management tool in the Anthropocene. A prerequisite for successful reef restoration is determining meaningful and measurable goals. This requires tools to monitor success in a standardized way. Photogrammetry provides a potential tool to monitor a range of indicators of restoration success. Understanding whether restoration efforts have been 'successful' requires understanding of what natural recovery entails, as well as consideration of project-specific goals. Questions as part of this project will include: 1) How does natural recovery on a reef unfold following disturbance? 2) how does a restored reef compare to a natural reef? 3) how can photogrammetry improve restoration planning and goal setting? 4) how can we standardize indicators of restoration success using photogrammetry? and 5) can photogrammetry help in standardizing monitoring techniques for reef restoration?
