Marine intelligence, in the wild

Welcome to MarineID

MarineID is a computer-vision project: software trained to recognize marine creatures in underwater video. Contributing underwater footage to MarineID helps us train MarineID to recognize new creatures and also helps to improve recognition of creatures that MarineID already knows.
