Three interconnected software platforms to make AI and ocean research more accessible and impactful

Portal

The FathomNet Portal is a globally accessible end-to-end tool that interfaces with FathomNet Database and FathomVerse. It utilizes machine learning to dramatically accelerate the analysis of ocean imagery.

Database

The FathomNet Database is a growing database of expert-annotated images and machine learning models that provides machine learning-ready data representing all underwater life for software engineers and marine scientists.

FathomVerse

FathomVerse is a game for mobile devices that invites ocean enthusiasts, animal lovers, and armchair explorers to train AI models while interacting with real ocean imagery collected by researchers.

COMMUNITY

No hosting? No problem!

FathomNet Database’s data hosting pipeline through NOAA is live! Now anyone can upload annotated images to the Database thanks to free hosting on NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Meet the FathomNet Portal 🪄

In September we launched the FathomNet Portal, an online, collaborative tool for end-to-end AI-assisted processing of ocean imagery! The recorded “Meet the Portal” workshop is available to watch on YouTube. If you’re interested in using the Portal, please fill out the expression of interest form on our website. Link in bio!

We are thrilled to announce a new partnership with the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS)!

WoRMS and @MBARI_News have agreed to collaborate on labeling public datasets, which will be used in #FathomNet and WoRMS to enhance biodiversity information systems for scientific research.

Described as cozy sci-non-fi, #FathomVerse progresses at the pace set by its user. Motivated players can choose to power through minigames, learning to identify nearly 50 groups of ocean animals and racking up points and awards. Alternatively, casual gamers can accomplish tasks at a more relaxed pace — saving favorite images and curating a personal gallery while listening to ambient lofi music.

“It’s designed to be easy to pick up. You can enjoy it with your morning coffee or while waiting for the bus,” says Ocean Vision AI Engagement Coordinator Lilli Wakinekona Carlsen.

Because the game is tied to Ocean Vision AI’s other platforms, FathomVerse players can be among the first to view new imagery collected by researchers exploring the ocean. As more animals and images are identified and confirmed by the FathomVerse community, the AI researchers use will learn and change.

#DYK Every dive in FathomVerse is filled with imagery that researchers have shared with us.
📸 🦀
To set up a dive, first, we add images that have been verified by experts. These are known as labeled images and come from FathomNet, a database of expertly labeled ocean images that MBARI released last year. Then we add images that have not been seen or verified yet. These are known as unlabeled images. Unlabeled images have been shared with us by @noaaoceanexploration @schmidtocean and @mbari_news -- with more to come!
🦑 🦐
With a mix of labeled and unlabeled images, FathomVerse creates different combinations for each dive that you play based on your progress and the missions you select. Together, FathomVerse players label these images to train machine learning models.
