Initiative #119
Computer vision to automate fish data extraction from video

About the initiative
Description of the initiative
Our purpose has been to build a tool to broadly apply computer vision methods in marine research. Our work has generated several publications illustrating how we built, tested/validated, and applied computer vision methodology to collect / extract / and analyze data pertaining to marine fish in the Newfoundland and Labrador region, from video. For example, we have used it to examine the impact of seismic surveying on commercial fish in the Newfoundland and Labrador offshore. Our continuing purpose is now broadly sharing our system with commercial harvesters (fishermen), non-profit organization (AHOI), government researchers (aquaculture, MPAs, AIS), and academics (computing scientists), to collect and rapidly analyzing video data for a wide range of applications.
