Development and application of <scp>BRUVS</scp> ‐Lite: A stereo‐ <scp>BRUV</scp> system with integrated lighting for benthic marine monitoring in northern latitudes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems (BRUVS) are a valuable, non‐destructive marine monitoring technology, suitable for a wide variety of monitoring goals. BRUVS remain underutilized in low‐light and remote environments, where the requirement for additional lighting, extended deployments, and repeated site access can increase costs and complexity, limiting data collection. This study presents BRUVS‐Lite, a new open‐source stereo‐BRUVS with integrated lights. The design incorporates purpose‐designed and consumer‐available components to generate a user‐friendly, cost‐effective technology capable of providing high‐quality imagery in low‐light environments, over extended deployment periods and to 500 m depth. The effectiveness of BRUVS‐Lite was evaluated at multiple locations and marine habitats surrounding Nova Scotia, Canada, demonstrating its suitability for benthic monitoring in low‐light environments.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
