Visual tracking of jellyfish in situ
نویسندگان
چکیده
Marine biologists desire an automated system for observing gelatinous zooplankton. This study represents the first attempt at real-time robotic tracking of a gelatinous animal in the open ocean. Challenges stem from uneven lighting, encounters with other marine life and frequent out-of-frame events. Analysis of a large video library of human-controlled jelly tracking supported selection of an appropriate vision algorithm. The vision architecture was implemented as an ROV pilot aid and tested at 600m below the surface of Monterey Bay.

Visual Tracking using Kernel Projected Measurement and Log-Polar Transformation
Visual Servoing is generally contained of control and feature tracking. Study of previous methods shows that no attempt has been made to optimize these two parts together. In kernel based visual servoing method, the main objective is to combine and optimize these two parts together and to make an entire control loop. This main target is accomplished by using Lyapanov theory. A Lyapanov candidat...
متن کاملVisual Tracking using Learning Histogram of Oriented Gradients by SVM on Mobile Robot
The intelligence of a mobile robot is highly dependent on its vision. The main objective of an intelligent mobile robot is in its ability to the online image processing, object detection, and especially visual tracking which is a complex task in stochastic environments. Tracking algorithms suffer from sequence challenges such as illumination variation, occlusion, and background clutter, so an a...
متن کاملP58: Visual Working Memory Performance Based on Saccades in Children with and without Specific Learning Disorder: An Eye-Tracking Study
Some of the previous studies show that children with SLD have deficits in visual processing and working memory. Hence, the aim of this research was to investigate problems of visual working memory based on behavioral neuroscience method, using an eye tracker device. The method of present study was ex-post facto study. The participants included couple of twelve children with SLD (mean age=10.92)...
متن کاملVisual control of steering in the box jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora.
Box jellyfish carry an elaborate visual system consisting of 24 eyes, which they use for driving a number of behaviours. However, it is not known how visual input controls the swimming behaviour. In this study we exposed the Caribbean box jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora to simple visual stimuli and recorded changes in their swimming behaviour. Animals were tethered in a small experimental chamb...
متن کاملA Low Energy Sensor for Auv-based Jellyfish Tracking
This work describes optimization of a field-tested jelly tracking system to enable AUV deployment under tight energy constraints. Inspired by research in marine biology, the task of long duration jellyfish tracking poses both an opportunity and a significant challenge for the AUV community. AUVs offer the potential for extended midwater deployments, enabling observation of natural phenomena dur...
