Remote sensing has evolved as an alternative to traditional techniques in the spatio-temporal monitoring of the Antarctic ecosystem, especially with the rapid expansion of the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), providing a centimeter-scale spatial resolution. In this study, the potential of a h...
