@fathomnet.bsky.social is hosting a competition to turn pixels into powerful ocean insights 🖥️🌊 In partnership with LifeCLEF and FGVC13, a new Kaggle challenge aims to tackle one of the biggest obstacles for applying computer vision to marine imagery. Learn more: www.kaggle.com/competitions...

Introducing the Global Deep Sea Exploration Goals: 10,000 seafloor locations to nearly double what we've observed in the deep ocean. Launching today, published in Science Advances. oceandiscoveryleague.org/global-deep-sea-exploration-goals #GlobalDeepSeaExplorationGoals #deepoceanexploration

We have a major problem. Many of the annotated images in the #FathomNetDatabase have sparse coverage–only 1 or some of the animals are labeled. We’re asking the #ComputerVision community for help to develop better object detectors.

Interested in solving problems at the frontier of computer vision in marine environments? Dive into our data challenge on @kaggle.com w/ @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social & #LifeCLEF! 📉 6.4k training images (incomplete coverage) 🦑 32 classes ⏰ 2 months left to submit 🔗 www.kaggle.com/competitions...
