HyperDiver system

The Hyperdiver system is an optical process developed by researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Bremen that can be used to record the condition of coral reefs .

With the help of a combination of a special camera and a conventional digital camera, detailed maps of the underwater landscape can be generated. A single diver can collect and analyze the data of a large area in a comparatively short time and use it to create a map of the reef, on which the biodiversity of the coral reef can be seen.
