Fine tuned RetinaNet to detect 16 taxonomic categories of midwater animals in the Greater Monterey Bay Area off the coast of Central California.
Intended Use
Make real time detections on video feed from MBARI Remotely Operated Vehicles.
Post-process video collected in the region by MBARI vehicles.
Factors
Distribution shifts related to sampling platform, camera parameters, illumination, and deployment environment are expected to impact model performance.
Evaluation was performed on an IID subset of available training data. Data to test out of distribution performance not currently available.
