Prolonged Deployments of PLOME Technologies: July 2024 Campaign at Obsea

One of the main objectives of the PLOME project is to demonstrate that the technologies developed are capable of operating over long periods of time while performing monitoring tasks. Among the most complex challenges is the deployment of underwater vehicles that can autonomously remain on the seabed, carrying out monitoring operations (ICM-CSIC). To achieve this, […]

PLOME build an advanced Deep Learning Video Detection method to count Nephrops norvegicus individuals in the deep-sea

The Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) is one of the most important fishery items for the EU blue economy. The coopearation between ICM-CSIC and UiB allowed the elaboration of a software architecture based on YOLOv5, to identify and count Nephrops and estimate the numbers of its individuals per m2 (i.e., stock density) in deep-sea (350-380 m
