Cloud-Based Automated Electronic Monitoring for Fisheries of the Future

The Technology

AI.Fish technology reduces costs and increases efficiency in electronic monitoring implementations. Companies with review software and electronic monitoring equipment can integrate AI.Fish’s API to access automated annotation powered by computer vision analysis of video footage.

Cloud-Based Automated Electronic Monitoring for Fisheries of the Future employs the use of artificial intelligence to automate electronic monitoring video review, which reduces time and cost while increasing review coverage.

The AI-augmented, cloud-based, web application provides side-by-side review of annotations and electronic monitoring video footage.

Applications

  • Can be deployed in fisheries who do not currently use electronic monitoring, increasing their ability to monitor the sustainability of their fishery
  • Can be deployed by electronic monitoring technology providers to enhance their software and hardware offerings with artificial intelligence
  • Can be deployed by regulators looking for prompt statistics and insights across fisheries within their oversight
