Field Frame Friday: Sea Turtle Meets Sea Cube
A curious turtle inspects a calibration cube used to reconstruct the 3D view that two GoPros capture in stereo. The videos are used to record fish swimming behaviors in the field. This work was done in Bonaire in April 2023 by Darien Satterfield. [Photo and caption by Darien Satterfield] [Edited by Ian Ramshorn Haliburton]
