Offshore Thermal Imaging Whale Detection Test in Canadian Waters
Abstract
Thermal imaging systems have been increasingly tested during the last decade for their capability to detect and localize whales in real time. For thermal imaging systems to be effective, automatic detection of the whale signatures in the video feed is crucial. To achieve reliable detection during high seas and for fast vessels, a stabilized video feed is necessary. We are currently developing a stabilized, low-cost thermal imaging camera system for marine mammal detection. Here we propose to test and refine our latest system development, especially the stabilization performance, during two field experiments in 2020 and 2021.
