Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for microplastic removal. In some implementations, a method can include controlling a camera to capture one or more images of plastic in water; providing the one or more images to a machine learning model trained to detect plastic; obtaining output from the machine learning model indicating one or more items of plastic; and controlling one or more acoustic transducers to move the one or more items of plastic.

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 a computer storage medium, for obtaining drone-based water measurements. One of the methods includes receiving, by a drone management system that controls a drone that is configured to collect water samples, data from a simulator that generates simulation data associated with a body of water; receiving, by the drone management system, an indication that the drone is available to collect one or more water samples from the body of water; determining, by the drone management system and based on the data from the simulator, one or more locations associated with the body of water at which the drone is to collect one or more respective water samples; and; transmitting, by the drone management system, the one or more locations associated with the body of water to the drone.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that validate the synchronization of controllers in an aquaculture environment. An image processor receives images generated by a first image generating device that includes a light filter that is associated with light of a particular light frequency while an aquaculture environment was illuminated with light. The image processor determines whether the intensity value of the light frequency in the image satisfies a threshold value based on the generated image. The image processor determines whether the aquaculture environment was illuminated with light of a particular light frequency when the image was generated based on the whether the intensity value of the particular light frequency in the image exceeds the threshold value. The image processor provides for output an indication of whether the aquaculture was illuminated with light of the particular frequency when the image was generated.

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.
