Coral Grow-out Robotic Assessment System (CGRAS): Scaling Coral Recruit Monitoring Through Robotics and Computer Vision
Dorian Tsai, Scarlett Raine, Emilio Olivastri +12
Climate change is the largest threat to coral reefs, with increasing global impacts accelerating the need for scalable reef restoration technologies. Large-scale reef restoration d…
Why Domain Matters: Domain-Aware Benchmarking of Underwater Object Detection and Annotation Quality
Melanie Wille, Dimity Miller, Tobias Fischer +1
Underwater object detection is strongly affected by domain shift, where performance can vary significantly across different locations, habitats, and deployment conditions. However,…
Why Domain Matters: A Preliminary Study of Domain Effects in Underwater Object Detection
Melanie Wille, Dimity Miller, Tobias Fischer +1
Domain shift, where deviations between training and deployment data distributions degrade model performance, is a key challenge in underwater environments. Existing benchmarks test…
Pixi: Unified Software Development and Distribution for Robotics and AI
Tobias Fischer, Wolf Vollprecht, Bas Zalmstra +8
The reproducibility crisis in scientific computing constrains robotics research. Existing studies reveal that up to 70% of robotics algorithms cannot be reproduced by independent t…
Are All Marine Species Created Equal? Performance Disparities in Underwater Object Detection
Melanie Wille, Tobias Fischer, Scarlett Raine
Underwater object detection is critical for monitoring marine ecosystems but poses unique challenges, including degraded image quality, imbalanced class distribution, and distinct…
Automated Coral Spawn Monitoring for Reef Restoration: The Coral Spawn and Larvae Imaging Camera System (CSLICS)
Dorian Tsai, Christopher A. Brunner, Riki Lamont +7
Coral aquaculture for reef restoration requires accurate and continuous spawn counting for resource distribution and larval health monitoring, but current methods are labor-intensi…
AI-Driven Marine Robotics: Emerging Trends in Underwater Perception and Ecosystem Monitoring
Scarlett Raine, Tobias Fischer
Marine ecosystems face increasing pressure due to climate change, driving the need for scalable, AI-powered monitoring solutions to inform effective conservation and restoration ef…
AI-driven Dispensing of Coral Reseeding Devices for Broad-scale Restoration of the Great Barrier Reef
Scarlett Raine, Emilio Olivastri, Benjamin Moshirian +1
Coral reefs are on the brink of collapse, with climate change, ocean acidification, and pollution leading to a projected 70-90% loss of coral species within the next decade. Reef r…
Reducing Label Dependency for Underwater Scene Understanding: A Survey of Datasets, Techniques and Applications
Scarlett Raine, Frederic Maire, Niko Suenderhauf +1
Underwater surveys provide long-term data for informing management strategies, monitoring coral reef health, and estimating blue carbon stocks. Advances in broad-scale survey metho…
Human-in-the-Loop Segmentation of Multi-species Coral Imagery
Scarlett Raine, Ross Marchant, Brano Kusy +3
Marine surveys by robotic underwater and surface vehicles result in substantial quantities of coral reef imagery, however labeling these images is expensive and time-consuming for…
Image Labels Are All You Need for Coarse Seagrass Segmentation
Scarlett Raine, Ross Marchant, Brano Kusy +2
Seagrass meadows serve as critical carbon sinks, but estimating the amount of carbon they store requires knowledge of the seagrass species present. Underwater and surface vehicles…
Point Label Aware Superpixels for Multi-species Segmentation of Underwater Imagery
Scarlett Raine, Ross Marchant, Brano Kusy +2
Monitoring coral reefs using underwater vehicles increases the range of marine surveys and availability of historical ecological data by collecting significant quantities of images…
DeepSeagrass Dataset
Scarlett Raine, Ross Marchant, Peyman Moghadam +3
We introduce a dataset of seagrass images collected by a biologist snorkelling in Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia, as described in our publication: arXiv:2009.09924. The images…
Multi-species Seagrass Detection and Classification from Underwater Images
Scarlett Raine, Ross Marchant, Peyman Moghadam +3
Underwater surveys conducted using divers or robots equipped with customized camera payloads can generate a large number of images. Manual review of these images to extract ecologi…
