Researchers have developed CorStitch, an open-source video-stitching software designed to aid in coral reef monitoring. This accessible tool automates the creation of georeferenced mosaics from underwater videos, offering a user-friendly alternative to existing, potentially less accessible software. CorStitch employs a Fourier-based algorithm for image registration and has demonstrated comparable quality to commercial options, making it a valuable resource for various organizations involved in marine conservation.
