Research Outcomes

Broadening our knowledge of Informative Path Planning for the optimization of acoustic localization.

Our PhD student on underwater robotics and researcher in the PLOME project, Marta Real, did a research stay at Cardiff University this past spring. There, during the three months of her stay, Marta was able to develop a path planning algorithm to optimize the localization of underwater acoustic beacons using the AUV Girona1000. Marta worked […]

Open-Access Release: PLOME Project Middleware for Acoustic Communication Integration

The source code of the Middleware developed for the PLOME project, has been uploaded to the open-access repositories Zenodo and Github. The middleware provides a high-level software layer that facilitates the use and integration of acoustic communication devices. The software has been developed in PYTHON and is installed as a service, so that it can

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
