The present disclosure relates to the technical field of marine monitoring, and in particular, to an online monitoring apparatus for automatically identifying coral bleaching.
A coral reef is an anti-wave creature structure formed by animals of the Order Scleractinia. It provides food sources and breeding grounds for many fish. In addition, corals absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide through the xanthellae in the body during the reef building process, actively alleviating the earth's greenhouse effect. However, in recent years, with the warming of the sea, the increasingly serious marine pollution, and the overfishing by humans, large areas of coral reefs have been bleached around the world, severely damaging the biodiversity and marine ecological environment. In view of this, protecting coral reefs is essentially important. However, for coral reefs with degraded corals, their self-recovery capacity has declined sharply, requiring artificial monitoring and assistance. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to design an online monitoring apparatus for automatically identifying coral bleaching.
The present disclosure aims to provide an online monitoring apparatus for automatically identifying coral bleaching, to improve real-time performance and accuracy of coral bleaching monitoring and expand a monitoring range of coral reefs. To implement the foregoing objective, the present disclosure provides the following solutions: An online monitoring apparatus for automatically identifying coral bleaching, including: a base, a sensor module, an image acquisition module, a data acquisition terminal, an industrial computer, a buoy, a power supply apparatus, and a wireless communications antenna, wherein: the base is located on a coral reef on the seabed; the image acquisition module, the sensor module, and the buoy are sequentially connected through cables from the seabed to the sea surface; the image acquisition module is arranged at the top of the base; the data acquisition terminal is separately connected to the sensor module, the image acquisition module, and the industrial computer; the industrial computer is installed with an image processing program that can automatically identify and determine coral bleaching; the wireless communications antenna is connected to the industrial computer to transmit a coral bleaching identification result in real time; and the power supply apparatus and the wireless communications antenna are both located at the top of the buoy; and the power supply apparatus is separately connected to the sensor module, the image acquisition module, the data acquisition terminal, and the industrial computer.
