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.

To contact the CODEX team please reach out to our director Dr. KC Bierlich via an email contact form available here.
We've developed a photogrammetry workflow of open-source tools for collecting and processing morphological measurements of marine mammals using drone-based photogrammetry.

We've developed a suite of open-source hardware and software tools as part of our photogrammetry framework to help increase efficiency and accuracy of obtaining important morphological measurements.

We're planning several workshops to introduce and teach the photogrammetry framework we've developed. Learn more here.
