Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium for estimating the shape, size, mass, and health of fish are described. A pair of stereo cameras may be utilized to obtain off-axis images of fish in a defined area. The images may be processed, enhanced, and combined. Object detection may be used to detect and track a fish in images. A pose estimator may be used to determine key points and features of the detected fish. Based on the key points, a model of the fish is generated that provides an estimate of the size and shape of the fish. A regression model or neural network model can be applied to the fish model to determine characteristics of the fish.

Abstract: A method for controlling a sensor subsystem, the method including receiving one or more metrics representing one or more characteristics of livestock, including one or more livestock objects, contained in an enclosure and monitored by one or more sensors coupled to a winch subsystem. The method further includes determining a position to move the one or more sensors based on the metrics and determining an instruction that includes information related to a movement of the one or more sensors. The method further includes sending the instruction to the winch subsystem to change the position of the one or more sensors.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for self-calibrating ultrasonic removal of sea lice. In some implementations, a method includes generating, by transducers distributed in a sea lice treatment station, a first set of ultrasonic signals, detecting a second set of ultrasonic signals in response to propagation of the first set of ultrasonic signals through water, determining propagation parameters of the sea lice treatment station based on the second set of ultrasonic signals that were detected, obtaining an image of a sea louse on a fish in the sea lice treatment station, determining, from the image, a location of the sea louse in the sea lice treatment station, and generating a third set of ultrasonic signals that focuses energy at the sea louse.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for automatic object detection for underwater cameras. In some implementations, an underwater camera captures many images which are obtained by a control unit. The control unit can detect one or more contours within a captured image based on values representing pixels of the image, generate a representation of the image based on the detected contours, provide the representation to a model that is trained to classify an input image as including a net or as not including a net, and perform an action based on classifying the image as including a net.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium for estimating the shape, size, and mass of fish are described. A pair of stereo cameras may be utilized to obtain right and left images of fish in a defined area. The right and left images may be processed, enhanced, and combined. Object detection may be used to detect and track a fish in images. A pose estimator may be used to determine key points and features of the detected fish. Based on the key points, a three-dimensional (3-D) model of the fish is generated that provides an estimate of the size and shape of the fish. A regression model or neural network model can be applied to the 3-D model to determine a likely weight of the fish.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that generate from a first pair and a second pair of images of livestock that are within an enclosure and that are taken at different times using a stereoscopic camera, at least two distance distributions of the aquatic livestock within the enclosure. The distance distributions can be used to determine a measure associated with an optical property of the water within the enclosure. A signal associated with the measure can be provided.
