Abstract

Biodiversity measuring calls for massive capture of in situ fauna observations over a long period. The present research aims at reducing the cost and the bias of the measures by limiting human intervention for producing those observations. It is based on a integrated infrastructure made of an automated underwater camera trap and a collaborative visual interface to analyze, process and manage the observations. In a latter stage, the infrastructure will be complemented with full image processing and machine learning capabilities to automate as much as possible the handling and exploitation of the observations.
