🎮🦑 NSF Convergence Accelerator’s Track E: Networked Blue Economy-funded project Ocean Vision AI, led by MBARI, created a fun and relaxing virtual game called FathomVerse, where players explore the ocean and identify marine life using real pictures gathered by ocean researchers. By playing the game, users are helping train an artificial intelligence model to visually process ocean data, which in turn can be deployed by scientists to make the process of analyzing thousands of ocean images more efficient. FathomVerse seeks to transform ocean exploration by engaging a community of ocean enthusiasts to work alongside researchers.

Swimming in scientific data "AI can help researchers analyze this deluge of visual data, which can be used to inform scientists, policymakers and ocean enthusiasts everywhere. But before AI can contribute to the knowledge of the ocean, it needs to be trained. To address this challenge, researchers developed  FathomVerse. The mobile game combines immersive imagery, gameplay and cutting-edge science, allowing players to interact with real underwater images. By engaging ocean enthusiasts worldwide to review and label images, the team hopes to improve the AI that helps researchers study marine life and assess ocean health."

The ocean is one of the least explored habitats on Earth. It is home to diverse animals, many of which are either unknown to science or poorly understood. Scientists are increasingly leveraging ocean-going camera systems to monitor populations and discover new animals. This combination of dense, image-based sampling and a poorly defined space of classes makes for a challenging computer vision problem: how do you get a machine-learning model to flag animals that are new and different? For this competition, the Ocean Vision AI team curated data from the broader FathomNet image set that is emblematic of this challenging use case. The training set contains 18 supercategories of marine animals collected along the ocean floor. The test set contains these same 18 supercategories AND new ones not represented in the training data. The challenge is to develop a model that can recognize the original 18 supercategories and flag unknown objects. Developing novel or general category discovery for ocean research will help scientists rapidly find unlabeled objects in historic datasets and enable creative field campaigns to seek out new life. Join the #FathomNet Kaggle Competition to solve novel category discovery in the deep sea and submit your solution by June 12: https://bit.ly/3wLZXkM 📸 Balloon worm Poeobius meseres, MBARI #CVPR2024 #FGVCWorkshop #Kaggle #TechTuesday #JuneIsOceanMonth

Dive into a day in the life of an underwater robot 🤖💦⁠ As we approach World Ocean Day, we’re reflecting on 36 years of ocean exploration with MBARI’s remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Ventana. In operation since 1988, this robotic submersible has logged more than 4,500 dives—the most science dives of any remotely operated vehicle in the world. Five days a week, MBARI’s research vessel Rachel Carson leaves Moss Landing Harbor at 6:30 in the morning for a busy day of ocean exploration. From a control room in the heart of the ship, our team of pilots and scientists guide the ROV Ventana as it explores the waters 1,800 meters (a little more than one mile) below. After deploying the vehicle for six to eight hours, the team returns to shore. ROV Ventana is a versatile robot equipped with cameras to observe the remarkable animals and habitats that thrive in the depths of Monterey Bay. Our engineers use this vehicle to deploy and test cutting-edge technology that is helping us assess and track ocean health. The pilots and crew that work with Ventana take pride in supporting our scientists and engineers in studying our changing ocean. Join us for a look back at some of the highlights from Ventana’s past missions. Learn more about ROV Ventana’s accomplishments: https://lnkd.in/gEun4tFC
