NASA scientists have demonstrated FluidCam as a drone based solution to provide sharp, clear imagery of coral reefs from a drone's eye view.
Watch the video, write your own transcripts, summaries and criticisms in the comments. It's image processing, it's drone based, they're working toward making it satellite based. I want to know how well it deals with moving objects in the field of view (like fish), but now that the reefs are mostly dead or dying I guess there aren't that many fish on them to worry about anymore? There certainly weren't any fish in the pictures on the video.
Bonus points to the first comment that links to some hard science papers on the topic, the link above is just a NASA "gee isn't this cool" video.

Me!! I don't believe it, I mean Google has billions and money can buy everything!!
Oh right, satellite cameras. Ok, the US gov probably doesn't permit Google the same level of optics up there. I'm sure Google could get a satellite built, but launched is another story.
