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: 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 from one or more cameras and a spatial model that corresponds to a subfeeder. The system determines, based on data from the spatial model and the image of the scene, a current position of the one or more cameras relative to the subfeeder. The system selects an updated position of the one or more cameras relative to the subfeeder. The system moves the one or more cameras to the updated position. In some implementations, the system dynamically selects the updated position of the one or more cameras relative to the subfeeder.

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: A fish monitoring system deployed in a particular area to obtain fish images is described. Neural networks and machine-learning techniques may be implemented to periodically train fish monitoring systems and generate monitoring modes to capture high quality images of fish based on the conditions in the determined area. The camera systems may be configured according to the settings, e.g., positions, viewing angles, specified by the monitoring modes when conditions matching the monitoring modes are detected. Each monitoring mode may be associated with one or more fish activities, such as sleeping, eating, swimming alone, and one or more parameters, such as time, location, and fish type.

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 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.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for controlling an aquaculture feeding system are described. In some implementations, a method includes determining, using a feeding system controller, that a feeding system has transitioned from a first state to a second state, and based on the transition from the first to the second state providing, using the feeding system controller, instructions to a dosing system to set a feed rate of the dosing system, and providing, using the feeding system controller, instructions to a blower operatively coupled to the dosing system to set a flow rate of the blower.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for controlling a camera to observe aquaculture feeding behavior. In some implementations, a method includes moving a camera to a first position, obtaining an image captured by the camera at the first position, determining a feeding observation mode, and based on the feeding observation mode and analysis of the image, determining a second position to move the camera.
