PowerPoint: Fishface - Exploring the use of image recognition software in fisheries management Commercial fisheries increasingly are incorporating electronic monitoring (EM) into existing fishery-dependent data collection programs. Across the United States, seven fisheries in the Northeast (Atlantic herring and mackerel, and groundfish), West Coast (Groundfish, Pacific whiting), Alaska (fixed …
PowerPoint: Accelerating the Development of Automated Fish Identification for EM Systems- An Example from New England Groundfish Automated fish measurement and speciation has the potential to revolutionize the fishery monitoring process, driving down costs and reducing the burden on human observers and video reviewers. Many efforts are underway to apply machine learning algorithms to different …
PowerPoint: Tracking and Measuring of Catch Events in Stereo Video for Longline Fisheries Automated video analyses in monitoring fishery activities have drawn increasing attention due to its scalability and capability. Stereo videos, compared to monocular videos, can capture the depth of information in addition to color and texture; thus, it can be more robust in monitoring and capable of …
PDF: Principles of Fishery Reporting System Design_M. Brady Abstract: Fishery reporting systems accept human input via multiple subsystems, where the subsystems are reporting on the same event, a fishing trip. Human data input presents challenges to the designer as a common source of error and excessive burdens on human reporters. Using multiple subsystems to report on the same event can result …
