#ICCV25 was a blast! Presented my work on automating Southern Ocean benthic monitoring at the Marine Vision workshop & joined the AI for Conservation bird walk. I loved seeing my Northumberland Dolphin Dataset still used for benchmarking segmentation models! Lots of collab ahead! 📄 bit.ly/4qItEdQ

📣 Dr @camerontrotter.bsky.social explains:
"The images are packed full of weird and unusually shaped animals, often living on top of each other - some of which have never been seen before."
The team trained AI to identify seafloor creatures near Antarctica, like starfish, corals, and fish.

Supercharged seafloor spotting! 🐚
Our AI and science teams have been using machine learning to label surveys of the Antarctic seafloor. It's dramatically sped them up from <8 hours per photo, to a few seconds.
This one looks like a quick job. But stay with us as we up the difficulty...
