Automated identification of plants has improved considerably thanks to the recent progress in deep learning and the availability of training data. However, this profusion of data only concerns a few tens of thousands of species, while the…
Hyperspectral in situ sensing has shown promise in retrieving aquatic biogeochemical (BGC) parameters, such as total suspended solids, dissolved organic carbon, and total chlorophyll-a, for cost-effective monitoring of coastal water…
Thousands of hours of marine video data are collected annually from remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and other underwater assets. However, current manual methods of analysis impede the full utilization of collected data for real time…
Historical watermark recognition is a highly practical, yet unsolved challenge for archivists and historians. With a large number of well-defined classes, cluttered and noisy samples, different types of representations, both subtle…
Whenever a person hears about pollution, more often than not, the first thought that comes to their mind is air pollution. One of the most under-mentioned and under-discussed pollution globally is that caused by the non-biodegradable waste…
We utilize techniques from deep learning to identify signatures of stellar feedback in simulated molecular clouds. Specifically, we implement a deep neural network with an architecture similar to U-Net and apply it to the problem of…
Underwater surveys provide long-term data for informing management strategies, monitoring coral reef health, and estimating blue carbon stocks. Advances in broad-scale survey methods, such as robotic underwater vehicles, have increased the…
The recent proliferation of fake portrait videos poses direct threats on society, law, and privacy. Believing the fake video of a politician, distributing fake pornographic content of celebrities, fabricating impersonated fake videos as…
Availability of domain-specific datasets is an essential problem in object detection. Maritime vessel detection of inshore and offshore datasets is no exception, there is a limited number of studies addressing this need. For that reason, we…
Interactions between galaxies leave distinguishable imprints in the form of tidal features which hold important clues about their mass assembly. Unfortunately, these structures are difficult to detect because they are low surface brightness…
This paper introduces WildlifeReID-10k, a new large-scale re-identification benchmark with more than 10k animal identities of around 33 species across more than 140k images, re-sampled from 37 existing datasets. WildlifeReID-10k covers…
Robust visual recognition in underwater environments remains a significant challenge due to complex distortions such as turbidity, low illumination, and occlusion, which severely degrade the performance of standard vision systems. This…
Jellyfish, a diverse group of gelatinous marine organisms, play a crucial role in maintaining marine ecosystems but pose significant challenges for biodiversity and conservation due to their rapid proliferation and ecological impact.…
The evaluation of object detection models is usually performed by optimizing a single metric, e.g. mAP, on a fixed set of datasets, e.g. Microsoft COCO and Pascal VOC. Due to image retrieval and annotation costs, these datasets consist…
Accurate tropical cyclones (TCs) tracking represents a critical challenge in the context of weather and climate science. Traditional tracking schemes mainly rely on subjective thresholds, which may introduce biases in their skills on the…
Forward-looking sonar can capture high resolution images of underwater scenes, but their interpretation is complex. Generic object detection in such images has not been solved, specially in cases of small and unknown objects. In comparison,…
The traceability of granite blocks consists in identifying each block with a finite number of color bands which represent a numerical code. This code has to be read several times throughout the manufacturing process, but its accuracy is…
This work presents SeasoNet, a new large-scale multi-label land cover and land use scene understanding dataset. It includes $1\,759\,830$ images from Sentinel-2 tiles, with 12 spectral bands and patch sizes of up to $ 120 \ \mathrm{px}…
Coral reefs are vital for marine biodiversity, coastal protection, and supporting human livelihoods globally. However, they are increasingly threatened by mass bleaching events, pollution, and unsustainable practices with the advent of…
Targeted socioeconomic policies require an accurate understanding of a country's demographic makeup. To that end, the United States spends more than 1 billion dollars a year gathering census data such as race, gender, education, occupation…
