Hyperspectral imaging of coral reefs in Hawaii. The true color (RGB) image at top shows the
location of processed images below. Pseudo-color infrared image (lower left) shows detectable
variations across the reef. The yellow pixels in the middle image show the locations of live
coral colonies (mostly Porites compressa). The image at lower right shows these results overlain
on a grayscale image.
