Automated Video Analysis for Oceanographic Research

We demonstrate an attentional selection system for processing video streams from remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs). The system identifies potentially interesting visual events spanning multiple frames based on low-level spatial properties of salient tokens, which are associated with those events and tracked over time. If video frames contain interesting frames, they are labeled “inte...

Smart Sailing Robot for Oceanographic Research

Over the past decade there has been intense scientific work on autonomous sailing robots. As hardware gets smaller, cheaper and also better performing the possibilities increase for autonomous vessels. Recently there is a lot of research going on with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions. Smart sailing robot fit perfectly into these ambitions. A robotic sailboat is able to autonomously navigate to...
