In early December, ANERIS hosted a series of workshops on underwater imaging, Bio-Optics, and participatory technologies developed within the project. Co-organized by Euro-Bioimaging ERIC, University of Haifa, and France Bioimaging, the workshops provided an opportunity to explore innovative tools for marine life monitoring.

The first session, on December 2nd, featured presentations on an automatic underwater image restoration system by Simon Korman, a tool for detecting macro-organisms in underwater images by Perrine Paul-Gilloteaux, and MINKA, a multiplatform app for marine life reporting, presented by Alex Tarragó.

The second session, on December 4th, included talks on an expandable multi-imaging underwater acquisition system, adaptive web interfaces for marine life reporting, and an automatic system for extracting zooplankton image data. Both sessions ended with open discussions, promoting collaboration among experts.

ANERIS remains committed to advancing marine biodiversity monitoring and fostering collaboration through these workshops.

In early December, ANERIS hosted a series of engaging workshops focused on underwater imaging, Bio-Optics, and participatory technologies developed within the project. Co-organized by Euro-Bioimaging ERIC, University of Haifa, and France Bioimaging, these workshops provided participants with the opportunity to explore cutting-edge tools and technologies for monitoring marine life.

The first session, held on December 2nd, featured presentations on various innovations, including Simon Korman's demonstration of an automatic underwater image restoration system, Perrine Paul-Gilloteaux's tool for detecting and characterizing macro-organisms in underwater images, and Alex Tarragó’s presentation on MINKA, an advanced multiplatform app for marine life reporting.

The second session, held on December 4th, continued with further insightful presentations on technologies like the expandable multi-imaging underwater acquisition system, adaptive web interfaces for marine life reporting, and the automatic information extraction system for zooplankton images. Both sessions culminated in open discussions, fostering collaboration among experts.
