Read MoreNew Computer Vision Routine Developed for CAMHD Time-Lapse Video
A new computer vision routine, developed by Aaron Marburg at UW-APL and aided by Tim Crone at LDEO and Friedrich Knuth at Rutgers, is now able to correctly identify and tag scenes of scientific interest in the CAMHD video stream. These scenes were previously being manually identified by students at Rutgers University, a process which has been greatly accelerated by the team’s work. With this enhanced metadata record, a brand new set of time lapse videos has been created, displaying a frame captured every three hours from November, 2015 to July, 2016. There are 9 scenes of scientific interest, which are recorded at two or three zoom levels, depending on the camera routine. The naming convention for the videos is deployment_(dx) position_(px) zoom-level_(zx). For more information on the different scene tags, see the regions description on GitHub.
