Development of low-cost underwater cameras for remote monitoring of marine ecosystems with ai-based species detection

The low-cost camera, developed by the OBSEA team, is a modular, low-cost underwater camera capable of operating down to 275 m depth. It includes a Raspberry Pi 5, a 64 MP Arducam camera, LED lights and YOLO-based AI software to detect fish. It works connected to the OBSEA or on standalone platforms,...
