Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for escape detection and mitigation for aquaculture. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining one or more images that depict one or more fish within a population of fish that are located within an enclosure; providing, to one or more detection models configured to classify fish that are depicted within the images as likely being member or as likely not being member of a type of fish, the one or images; generating, as a result of providing the one or more images to the one or more detection models, a value that reflects a quantity of fish that are depicted in the images that are likely a member of the type of fish; and detecting a condition based at least on the value.

Abstract: A sensor positioning system, includes an actuation server for communicating with components of the sensor positioning system. The sensor positioning system additionally includes a first actuation system and a second actuation system, wherein each actuation system includes a pulley system for maneuvering an underwater sensor system. The sensor positioning system includes a dual point attachment bracket that connects through a first line to the first actuation system and connecting through a second line to the second actuation system. The underwater sensor system is affixed to the first pulley system, the second pulley system, and the dual attachment bracket through the first line and the second line.

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 computer storage media for identification and re-identification of fish. In some implementations, first media representative of aquatic cargo is received. Second media based on the first media is generated, wherein a resolution of the second media is higher than a resolution of the first media. A cropped representation of the second media is generated. The cropped representation is provided to the machine learning model. In response to providing the cropped representation to the machine learning model, an embedding representing the cropped representation is generated using the machine learning model. The embedding is mapped to a high dimensional space. Data identifying the aquatic cargo is provided to a database, wherein the data identifying the aquatic cargo comprises an identifier of the aquatic cargo, the embedding, and a mapped region of the high dimensional space.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium that automatically performs actions in an aquaculture environment based on light sensed by underwater cameras. One of the methods includes obtaining images of a surface of water captured by a camera that faces upwards from a depth towards the surface of the water within an enclosure that encloses aquatic livestock. An ambient light metric is determined at the depth from the images of the surface of the water. A determination is made as to whether the camera satisfies one or more depth criteria. Based on determining that the depth of the camera satisfies the one or more depth criteria, it is determined that, based on the ambient light metric at the depth, one or more action criteria are satisfied, then initiating performance of an action to be performed for the aquatic livestock.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable storage media, for automated camera positioning for feeding behavior monitoring. In some implementations, a system obtains an image of a scene, a spatial model that corresponds to a subfeeder, and calibration parameters of a camera, the system determines a size of the subfeeder in the image of the scene, the system selects an updated position of the camera relative to the subfeeder, the system provides the updated position of the camera relative to the subfeeder to a winch controller, and the system moves the camera to the updated position.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for visually detecting a halocline. In some implementations, a method includes moving a camera through different depths of water within a fish enclosure, capturing, at the different depths, images of fish, determining that changes in focus in the images correspond to changes in depth that the images were captured, and based on determining that the changes in focus in the images correspond to the changes in depths that the images were captured, detecting a halocline at a particular depth.
