    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for monocular underwater camera biomass estimation. In some implementations, an exemplary method includes obtaining an image of a fish captured by a monocular underwater camera; providing the image of the fish to a depth perception model; obtaining output of the depth perception model indicating a depth-enhanced image of the fish data in the image; determining a biomass value estimate of the fish based on the output; and determining an action based on one or more biomass values estimates including the biomass value estimate of the fish.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that control devices in an aquaculture environment. One of the methods includes determining a particular objective for a robot that is operating in an aquaculture environment and determining one or more sensed conditions that are associated with the aquaculture environment. The particular objective is provided to an anti-fish-startling model evaluation engine that is configured to output actions, for a given objective, that accomplish the given objective while reducing a startling effect on nearby fish. Based on providing the particular objective to the anti-fish-startling model evaluation engine, one or more particular actions for accomplishing the particular objective are determined. The one or more particular actions are transmitted to another device.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for fish weight estimation based on fish tracks identified in images. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining images of fish enclosed in a fish enclosure, identifying fish tracks shown in the images of the fish, determining a quality score for each of the fish tracks, selecting a subset of the fish tracks based on the quality scores, determining a representative weight of the fish in the fish enclosure based on weights of the fish shown in the subset of the fish tracks, and outputting the representative weight for display or storage at a device connected to the one or more processors.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for setting modes for an underwater camera. In some implementations, a scheduler repeatedly: obtains data of a current context of an underwater camera; determines whether the current context satisfies first criteria associated with continued activation of one or more modes that are currently activated and satisfies second criteria associated with activation of one or more modes that are not currently activated; selects modes to be active based on (i) determining whether the current context satisfies the first criteria and (ii) determining whether the current context satisfies the second criteria; and activating any of the modes that are to be active and that are not currently activated, or deactivating any of the modes that are currently activated that are not included in the one or more modes that are to be activated.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for a lighting controller for sea lice detection. In some implementations, fish are contained within an elliptical tank filled with water. An imaging station located on the elliptical tank is used to capture an image of a fish from which image analysis can be performed to detect sea lice or other skin features, including lesions, on the fish. Pairs of imaging assemblies coordinate pulsing light of at least a first and a second color and capturing images of the fish while the fish is illuminated by at least the first and the second color. By using the captured images with different color light, computers can detect features on the body of a fish including sea lice, skin lesions, shortened operculum or other physical deformities and skin features. Detection results can aid in mitigation techniques or be stored for analytics. For example, sea lice detection results can inform targeted treatments comprised of lasers, fluids, or mechanical devices such as a brush or suction.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for underwater feed movement detection. In one aspect, the method may include the actions of obtaining images captured at different time points, where the images are captured by a camera and indicate feed that has been dispersed by a feeder for aquatic livestock inside an enclosure; determining, for each image, respective locations of the feed indicated by the image; determining, from the respective locations of the feed, a respective movement of the feed over the different time points; determining, based on the respective feed movement of the feed over the different time points, water current movement within the enclosure for the aquatic livestock; and outputting an indication of the water current movement.

    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.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for estimating wave properties of a body of water. A computer-implemented system obtains measurement data for a duration of time from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) onboard an underwater device, generates model input data based on at least the measurement data obtained at the plurality of time points, and processes the model input data to generate model output data indicating one or more wave properties using a machine-learning model. The system further determines, based on at least the one or more wave properties, whether the device is safe to be deployed.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for sorting fish in aquaculture. In some implementations, one or more images are obtained of a particular fish within a population of fish. Based on the one or more images of the fish, a data element is determined. The data element can include a first value that reflects a physical characteristic of the particular fish, and a second value that reflects a condition factor of the particular fish. Based on the data element, the fish is classified as a member of a particular subpopulation of the population of fish. An actuator of an automated fish sorter is controlled based on classifying the particular fish as a member of the particular subpopulation of the population of fish.
