Automatic Classification of Seabed Substrates in Underwater Video
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we present a system for the automated classification of seabed substrates in underwater video. Classification of seabed substrates traditionally requires manual analysis by a marine biologist, according to an established classification system. Accurate, consistent and robust classification is difficult in underwater video due to varying lighting conditions, turbidity and method of original recording. We have developed a system that uses ground truth data from marine biologists to train and test per-frame classifiers. In this paper we present preliminary results of this using various feature representations (histograms, Gabor wavelets) and classifiers (SCM, kNN).

Detection Method of Scallop and Asteroid from Seabed Video
Recently, the investigation method has been developed to measure fishes using an underwater video camera. These methods can investigate the benthic fishery resources, but the acoustic survey cannot. However, these investigations do not use automatic measurements from the videos but only taken the videos. In this paper, we propose a method to count the scallop and the asteroid from the seabed vi...

متن کاملMulti-view fusion based on belief functions for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
We present an approach of automatic seabed recognition from multiple views of side-scan sonar in the context of the project ASEMAR of the pole Mer Bretagne. We integrate detailed knowledge about each view: the nature of the seabed, the position and the uncertainty and the imprecision related to each information. To exploit information from multiple views, a fusion strategy for seabed recognitio...
