abstract = "Marine cabled video-observatories allow the
non-destructive sampling of species at frequencies and
durations that have never been attained before.
Nevertheless, the lack of appropriate methods to
automatically process video imagery limits this
technology for the purposes of ecosystem monitoring.
Automation is a prerequisite to deal with the huge
quantities of video footage captured by cameras, which
can then transform these devices into true autonomous
sensors. In this study, we have developed a novel
methodology that is based on genetic programming for
content-based image analysis. Our aim was to capture
the temporal dynamics of fish abundance. We processed
more than 20,000 images that were acquired in a
challenging real-world coastal scenario at the
OBSEA-EMSO testing-site. The images were collected at
30-min. frequency, continuously for two years, over day
and night. The highly variable environmental conditions
allowed us to test the effectiveness of our approach
under changing light radiation, water turbidity,
background confusion, and bio-fouling growth on the
camera housing. The automated recognition results were
highly correlated with the manual counts and they were
highly reliable when used to track fish variations at
different hourly, daily, and monthly time scales. In
addition, our methodology could be easily transferred
to other cabled video-observatories.",
