Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for automated underwater camera system control for aquaculture systems. An underwater camera system includes (i) a line on which the underwater camera system is mounted, the line detachably affixed to a feeder that provides feed for aquatic livestock, (ii) a sensor manager, (iii) one or more sensors that are managed by the sensor manager, (iv) a line navigation controller, and (v) a first actuator for controlling a distance between the feeder and the underwater camera system. The one or more sensors obtain sensor data and the line navigation controller of the underwater camera system determines a distance to position the underwater camera system beneath the feeder to obtain additional sensor data. The line navigation controller transmits a first message to the first actuator to position the underwater camera system at the determined distance beneath the feeder.

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 medium-encoded computer program products, for adjusting an aquaculture camera mounting system. A current combined field of view of two or more cameras that are mounted on an adjustable camera mounting structure in an environment can be determined based upon a current configuration of the adjustable camera mounting structure. A target field of view for the two or more cameras that are mounted on the adjustable camera mounting structure can be determined. Based at least on the field of view target and the current combined field of view, an adjustment parameter for the adjustable camera mounting structure can be determined. The adjustable camera mounting structure can be adjusted according to the adjustment parameter to provide a field of view in accordance with the field of view target.
