Underwater Fish Detection with Weak Multi-Domain Supervision
, 2019 Given a sufficiently large training dataset, it is relatively easy to train a modern convolution neural network (CNN) as a required image classifier. However, for the task of fish classification and/or fish detection, if a CNN was trained to detect or ...
