Abstract
Multispectral satellite sensors have been used widely for coral reef applications. There is a long history of multispectral image acquisition, second to photography, with data available at global coverage for relatively low cost. This chapter summarizes the history, observation targets, and image processing methods of multispectral remote sensing of coral reefs. A variety of applications are presented in a progression from image classification and mapping to monitoring and modeling. Insight into the future directions of multispectral coral reef imaging is then provided, with a focus on higher spatial resolution, higher spectral resolution, greater data acquisition capacity, and integration with other data sources.
