Descripción del proyecto
Nuevo sistema de detección y evaluación de la biodiversidad marina
A causa del cambio climático, cada vez es más importante preservar la biodiversidad oceánica. La industria pesquera se enfrenta al reto de adaptarse a estos cambios sin dejar de cumplir con las cuotas. Sin embargo, la falta de asistencia e innovación dificulta esta tarea, sobre todo en el caso de las grandes operaciones pesqueras. Para resolver este problema, el equipo del proyecto SYMBIOSIS, financiado con fondos europeos, presenta una solución que ofrece una transición más fácil hacia una industria pesquera más sostenible. La clave reside en un sistema de vigilancia equipado con sensores acústicos y ópticos que permita a las pesquerías detectar, evaluar y localizar especies de peces concretas. Los datos obtenidos permitirán a los usuarios tomar decisiones con conocimiento de causa y evitar la pesca de especies amenazadas de forma factible.
Objetivo
We present the SYMBIOSIS project to provide a mature, cost effective autonomous optco-acoustic prototype for the characterization, classification, and biomass evaluation of six target pelagic fish that are important to the fishery industry and that reflect on the health of the environment. The processing will be made in a real-time fashion onsite, and the results will be sent to a shore station. The system will be completely autonomous and will withstand three month deployment without recharging. We will demonstrate the capabilities of the system and its readiness to a TRL6 stage over three sea and ocean mooring sites.
SYMBIOSIS is devised as a blend of acoustic and optical components. The acoustic unit will include an active underwater acoustic array of 2X3 elements, to detect, classify, evaluate the biomass, and localize the predefined pelagic fish in the far field of 500m. The optical component will comprise of a fixed frame of six underwater optical cameras, and will perform machine learning-based classification and biomass evaluation in the near field of 2-3 attenuation lengths in low-light conditions. To conserve power the optical unit will be triggered upon detection from the acoustic unit, and will use the results from the acoustic localization. The system will be modular, both in term of performance and in terms of composition, and will adapt to different scenarios and cost requirements.
SYMBIOSIS will involve the university of Haifa, Israel (four groups); IMDEA Networks, Spain (two groups); Wireless and More, Italy; and EvoLogics, Germany. The academic partners have already developed all the technical components of the system, and have demonstrated preliminary results in multiple sea experiments. The industry partners have substantial experience with integrating acoustic and optical components for long-term sea development, and is a leading firm for the development of realtime underwater signal processing.
