Implementing artificial intelligence for the quantitative assessment of abalone in production systems (Old ID 26800)

Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment
Role

Principal Investigator

Description

This project will aim to develop, train, validate and implement an artificial intelligence model to identify and count abalone and measure quantitative abalone traits in production systems from an image. Currently, stock assessment is conducted manually, with large costs associated for the farms. This solution would reduce the cost of stock assessments and would greatly improve data quantity and quality using a “hands-off” approach. The model would also provide an advanced platform for further R & D improvements above and beyond basic assessments (e.g. growth monitoring in feeding trials).
