megafishdetector

Detector for generic "fish" trained on publicly available datasets, currently supporting YOLO-style bounding boxes prediction and training. Can also be used as pre-trained networks for further fine-tuning.

Initial experiments to train a generic MegaFishDetector modelled off of the MegaDetector for land animals (https://github.com/microsoft/CameraTraps/blob/main/megadetector.md)

Currently based on YOLOv5 (https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5).

This repo contains links to public datasets, code to parse datasets into a common format (currently YOLO darknet only), and a model zoo for people to start with. For instructions to run, see the link above.
