Summary

We are interested in how to solve real world practical problems using computer vision with both classical algorithms and machine learning. Environmental monitoring is a particular focus of our work and we have developed a variety systems for image understanding for  underwater image classification [1] and for fish monitoring [2]. As well as the applications we are interested in developing the underpinning theory [3].
