Automated counting of fish in moving diver‐operated videos (DOV) for biodiversity assessments
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Underwater video transects are crucial to assess marine biodiversity and biomass. Counting fish in these videos is labour‐ and time‐intensive and operator‐dependent. Automating this step would create non‐biased biodiversity data and decouple the data collection campaign from any field constraints.
