Download or read book Towards Robust Identification of Slow Moving Animals in Deep sea Imagery by Integrating Shape and Appearance Cues written by Marzieh Mehrnejad and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underwater video data are a rich source of information for marine biologists. However, the large amount of recorded video creates a 'big data' problem, which emphasizes the need for automated detection techniques. This work focuses on the detection of quasi-stationary crabs of various sizes in deep-sea images. Specific issues related to image quality such as low contrast and non-uniform lighting are addressed by the pre-processing step. The segmentation step is based on color, size and shape considerations. Segmentation identifies regions that potentially correspond to crabs. These regions are normalized to be invariant to scale and translation. Feature vectors are formed by the normalized regions, and they are further classified via supervised and non-supervised machine learning techniques. The proposed approach is evaluated experimentally using a video dataset available from Ocean Networks Canada. The thesis provides an in-depth discussion about the performance of the proposed algorithms.

Book excerpt: Beasts of the Deep: Sea Creatures and Popular Culture offers its readers an in-depth and interdisciplinary engagement with the sea and its monstrous inhabitants; through critical readings of folklore, weird fiction, film, music, radio and digital games. Within the text there are a multitude of convergent critical perspectives used to engage and explore fictional and real monsters of the sea in media and folklore. The collection features chapters from a variety of academic perspectives; post- modernism, psychoanalysis, industrial-organisational analysis, fandom studies, sociology and philosophy are featured. Under examination are a wide range of narratives and media forms that represent, reimagine and create the Kraken, mermaids, giant sharks, sea draugrs and even the weird creatures of H.P. Lovecraft. Beasts of the Deep offers an expansive study of our sea-born fears and anxieties, that are crystallised in a variety of monstrous forms. Repeatedly the chapters in the collection encounter the contemporary relevance of our fears of the sea and its inhabitants – through the dehumanising media depictions of refugees in the Mediterranean to the encroaching ecological disasters of global warming, pollution and the threat of mass marine extinction.
