摘要： The present disclosure provides a method and system architectures for carrying out the method of automated marine life object classification and identification utilising a core of a Deep Neural Network, DNN, to facilitate the operations of a post-processing module subnetwork such as instance segmentation, masking, labelling, and image overlay of an input image determined to contain one or more target marine life objects. Multiple instances of target objects from the same image data can be easily classified and labelled for post-processing through application of a masking layer over each respective object by a semantic segmentation network.

摘要： The present disclosure provides a system for autonomously controlling a fleet of carrier platforms on a water body surface, each carrier platform hosting and being configured to deploy and retrieve one or more sub-carriers for autonomously carrying out operations in a marine environment. The one or more carrier platforms and sub-carriers of the system each have navigation and positioning modules for coordinating movements and are also centrally managed via an intelligent central control system from which the operations of the fleet can be monitored and controlled. The present invention solves the retrieval issue presented by deploying unmanned sub-carriers in complex real-world environments. The invention provides for a modular retrieval system for unmanned sub-carriers.

摘要： The present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to apparatus, system and methods for image distortion correction when scanning/imaging an air-water interface (AWI), or any such interfaces between two media including air and glass, among others. According to one embodiment, the apparatus comprises of a means of scanning a mean water level, and twos canners, wherein is set slightly above the water surface, and one positioned just below, with the scanners having an intersecting view of the AWI. A suitably trained machine learning algorithm recognizes key features from both the above-water and underwater scans, determines distortion from the AWI, make a correction of the distortion and automatically stitch the distortion-corrected scans together. According to another embodiment, the resulting single complete, accurate, and high-density point cloud of all surface profiles in, around, and below the AWI area.

摘要： In the breeding of aquatic products, keeping track of changes in the water quality environment is an urgent aquaculture problem to be solved. At present, single sensors are often used for data detection, and there is no coordination between the sensors or between sensors and actuators, resulting in a lack of a unified monitoring and control mechanism. The current invention discloses a holding tank monitoring system based on a wireless sensor network and a monitoring method provided thereof characterized by an unattended operation and automated execution by obtaining environmental data of a holding tank in real-time, and analyzing the data using a suitably trained machine learning algorithm and causing a control action on the actuator to perform a corrective action on the holding tank for optimal operation of the system.
