Splash detection for surface splash scoring

A method of surface splash scoring includes receiving, at an electronic device, a set of camera frames corresponding to images of a water surface. The electronic device processes the set of camera frames with a trained machine learning model to generate one or more quantifications associated with fish activity proximate the water surface. In some embodiments, a surface splash score is computed that represents an appetite level anticipated to be exhibited for a first time period. Subsequently, the electronic device generates an output indicative of the surface splash score.

AI BASED FEEDING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LAND-BASED FISH FARMS
20220279765 · 2022-09-08 ·

Embodiments for an AI-based system and method for feed monitoring in a land-based fish farm are described where the system may include: a feed camera mounted to an effluent pipe for capturing a video feed having images of objects that traverse a field of view of the feed camera when each image is acquired; and a special-purpose computer that executes a pellet-tracking algorithm that employs a region of interest (ROI) proposal module, an ROI classification module, an ROI tracking module, and a trajectory classification module for at least counting uneaten feed pellets. In at least one embodiment, an object enhancer may be mounted to the effluent pipe opposite to and in the field of view of the feed camera to provide a background so that the objects in the acquired images have a definable perimeter.
