Developing an Underwater Video Annotation Methodology for Coastal Communities in Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 3.0
Bibliographic record
Abstract
High-resolution underwater cabled cameras provide a significant opportunity for species richness and diversity studies. They offer a less invasive methodology and provide substantial data for statistical analysis. Many of Ocean Networks Canada's coastal community observatories are equipped with underwater video cameras. These observatories are designed and customized in consultation with local leaders in whose territories they operate, providing a localized system for year-round continuous, real-time ocean monitoring. This paper proposes an underwater video annotation methodology for Ocean Networks Canada's coastal community observatories. The proposed approach establishes a standardized method for marine species identification and data ingestion. Through open data, technology, and the adoption of a standardized database, individuals can actively contribute to the analysis of video data from these observatories, facilitating the quantification of species numbers and their taxonomy. This research can also be applied in educational initiatives, offering an immersive avenue for the public to explore and understand their surrounding ecosystems while encouraging participation in citizen science.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
