The Marine Mammal Institute's Center of Drone Excellence (CODEX) develops analytical methods for using drones to non-invasively monitor marine mammal populations. CODEX develops open-source hardware and software tools, including automated tools, to help researchers obtain high-quality morphological measurements of marine mammals from drone-based imagery with greater speed and accuracy. CODEX also hosts workshops to help teach and support researchers interested in using drones to monitor the health of marine mammals populations.
