The PNNL-TUNAMELT Dataset
This labeled dataset released in the publication "PNNL-TUNAMELT: Towards automating the detection of interactions with marine energy devices" consists of labeled acoustic camera video data capturing marine life interactions around an underwater tidal turbine. This dataset was created to promote automated target detection around underwater turbines in order to enable their safe deployment and operation.
The data for this dataset was originally collected in 2010 around Ocean Renewable Power Company's tidal turbine deployment in Cobscook Bay, Maine, USA, and the results of this deployment were published in [Viehman, H. A., and G. B. Zydlewski. 2015. Fish interactions with a commercial-scale tidal energy device in the natural environment. Estuaries Coasts 38: 241-252.]
The software developed for this effort is located at https://github.com/tsnowak/pnnl-tunamelt.
