IMIS - Marine Research Groups

The data was used for validating CNN model performance for natural samples. The sample selection targeted on one sample per week from continuous operation between January to December 2021. Due to scarcity of some classes additional samples were selected from expected seasons. The selected samples were manually inspected: all classifications were assessed (confirmed or corrected) and all identifiable images that were left under the thresholds were labeled. The unidentifiable images that were left without an assigned class were considered as unclassified. More detailed explanation and example images can be found from the publication Kraft et al. 2022.
