New pipeline streamlines deep-sea image data for object detection

A new Python-based pipeline called mbariml has been developed to streamline the creation of object-detection training data from deep-sea imagery and video. This system utilizes an Ultralytics YOLO model to identify objects, storing detections as regions of interest that can be reviewed and edited by humans. The pipeline supports bulk acceptance or rejection of similar detections and can import existing YOLO and PASCAL-VOC datasets for review and extension. Special attention is given to video data, where representative frames are selected from tracks to avoid redundant labeling. AI

IMPACT Enhances the efficiency of creating specialized datasets for underwater object detection, potentially improving performance in marine research and exploration.

    mbariml: a curation pipeline for turning deep-sea imagery and video into object-detection training data

    arXiv:2609.25500v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Training data quantity and quality greatly affect object detection model performance, regardless of model architecture. For object detection in deep-sea video and imagery, where the objects of interest (primarily organisms) are …
