ReefProof Turns Reef Restoration Into an Auditable Dataset
Hamilton Marine Biosciences presents an open-source monitoring system combining an underwater AI camera pod, 3D reef twins, and standardized proof reports.
Field notes
The system is organized around a printable underwater camera pod, a reconstruction pipeline, and reports intended to make restoration outcomes comparable and auditable. The page specifies an NVIDIA Jetson, SD-card metric storage, action-camera photogrammetry, and a 1–10 metre depth target for v1. It also frames a $10,000 fleet contribution as enough for 15 or more pods, while describing the hardware and models as open rather than closed-box instrumentation.
