• Authors: Scarlett Raine, Ross Marchant, Peyman Moghadam, Frederic Maire, Brett Kettle, Brano Kusy
• Abstract summary: In this paper, we introduce a multi-species detector and classifier for seagrasses based on a deep convolutional neural network. We also introduce a simple method to semi-automatically label image patches and therefore minimize manual labelling requirement. We describe and release publicly the dataset collected in this study as well as the code and pre-trained models to replicate our experiments.

• Abstract: 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 ecological data is prohibitive in terms of time and cost, thus providing strong incentive to automate this process using machine learning solutions. In this paper, we introduce a multi-species detector and classifier for seagrasses based on a deep convolutional neural network (achieved an overall accuracy of 92.4%). We also introduce a simple method to semi-automatically label image patches and therefore minimize manual labelling requirement. We describe and release publicly the dataset collected in this study as well as the code and pre-trained models to replicate our experiments at: https://github.com/csiro-robotics/deepseagrass

  In this study, we present an active learning technique, named BoxAL, which includes estimation of epistemic certainty of the Faster R-CNN object-detection model. The method allows selecting the most uncertain training images from an unlabeled pool, which are then used to train the object-detection model. Our study additionally showed that the sampled new data is more valuable for training than the remaining unlabeled data.

The experiments show that, when using the same set of images for training, detectors achieve superior performance. Considering the high cost of generating labels for the detection problem, when there is a massive number of images labeled for classification, classifiers are able to reach results comparable to detectors but with half latency.
