New RGB-Sonar Dataset Aims to Improve Underwater Fish Monitoring

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced the Huntington and Caltech Koi RGB and Sonar dataset (HaCKRS), a new resource designed to advance underwater fish monitoring. This dataset pairs RGB video footage with recordings from consumer-grade Garmin LiveScope imaging sonar, offering over 105,000 temporally matched frame pairs. The goal is to make fish monitoring more accessible by addressing the challenges posed by the noisy imagery of consumer sonar, thereby supporting the development of automated detection and tracking methods.

    A Paired RGB-Sonar Dataset for Fish Monitoring with Consumer Sonar

    arXiv:2610.23759v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Imaging sonar enables underwater observation in conditions where optical imaging is ineffective due to darkness and turbid water. However, imaging-sonar systems previously used for ecological monitoring have typically been expensive…
