Advanced system for georeferenced analysis of underwater video
Tool for the analysis of underwater video that enables the precise, georeferenced annotation of species and other relevant elements. It integrates and organises all information gathered during dives into a single geodatabase, facilitating its consultation and subsequent processing.
- Market need
-
The use of underwater video systems for ecological and environmental assessment has become increasingly widespread, generating growing volumes of images and hours of footage that are difficult to process using traditional methods. Existing tools allow the annotation of still images but remain insufficient for the efficient analysis of continuous video and the integrated management of georeferenced data. These limitations slow down habitat assessment, species identification and impact monitoring, hindering compliance with environmental directives and the adoption of objective, standardised decision-making processes.
- Proposed solution
-
The tool enables the continuous visualisation of underwater video and the precise annotation of species occurrences, linking each record to its geographic coordinates. It integrates all information collected during dives into a single geodatabase, allowing the organisation of georeferenced photographs, biological and ecological data, sample catalogues and impact indicators. It incorporates rapid review and editing functions, as well as filters that facilitate the generation of structured datasets for analysis. It also includes utilities for managing taxonomic identification status and recording relevant environmental elements, such as evidence of fishing activity.
- Competitive advantages
-
- Significantly reduces the time required for underwater video analysis.
- Enables precise, georeferenced annotation of species and relevant elements.
- Organises biological, ecological and impact data within a single geodatabase.
- Facilitates rapid review and editing of recorded information.
- Allows the generation of structured queries and lists through filtering tools.
- Integrates georeferenced photographs and associated sample catalogues.
