Cover Story: The automatic classification of fish images captured under water is a challenging task with a broad potential impact for environmental conservation. Convolutional neural network models employed for image recognition typically require very large datasets to train millions of model parameters. However, underwater fish image and video datasets are scarce and unbalanced, so neural models may be inadequately trained. We engineer convolutional neural networks with up to ~50,000 parameters, which require much smaller datasets for training and run in much more constrained embedded platforms. By augmenting neural models with a tracking algorithm that recognizes fish specimens across video frames, we obtain a classifier of very limited overall complexity. Experiments in the Mediterranean Sea confirm a good level of accuracy for fish recognition in the wild. View this paper
