Co-financed with support of the European Union ERDF-Atlantic Area Programme
VIDEO SURVEY TECHNIQUES WORKSHOP
This workshop aims to assess the understanding
of the different underwater image based methods
(video or photograph) for biological and physical
data acquisition and its use for habitat mapping
(habitat+species) either for fine scale mapping or for
a broad scale mapping and/or as a tool for groundtruthing of acoustic signals and classification data.
The ultimate goal of this MeshAtlantic workshop is to
bring together researchers and practitioners in areas
relevant to habitat mapping: (i) data acquisition using video and photography, (ii) annotation and data
extraction methods and software, (iii) statistical modelling of spatial distributions and (iv) map production.
Its objective is to serve as a forum for presenting
state of the art research, exchanging ideas and experiences, and facilitating interaction and collaboration.
Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to:
•Introduction to MeshAtlantic
•Review of the non- autonomous underwater
video methods: ROV, drop-down camera, video
sledge, BRUVS
• Video Annotation & data extraction
• Data interpretation and standardization
•Modelling and mapping of feature’s spatial
distribution
Details of the programme will be announced at a
later date
We invite you to register for the Workshop through
the CCMAR website (http://www.ccmar.ualg.pt).
