Gautam Shah of Internet of Elephants shares upcoming project, FathomVerse.

Katija and her team received a grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a new database called FathomNet for collecting and labeling underwater imagery.

New open-source image database unlocks the power of AI for ocean exploration

Marine biologists have too many images and not enough time to hand-annotate them all. This new project wants to help.

The Ocean Vision AI project will leverage the power of artificial intelligence to accelerate processing of ocean imagery and ultimately enable effective management of ocean resources.

The process is very straightforward and will look pretty familiar to anyone who has used tools like Google Drive.

I’m excited to finally (even if it’s just beta) share FathomNet with you!!

In this article, we’ll step through code demonstrating a common use case: downloading images and bounding boxes.

Step-by-step instructions to help you upload your annotated data to the FathomNet Database
