Enhancing Worker Digital Experience: A Hands-on Workshop for Partners
CATAMI AMSA 2013
1. CATAMI (Collaborative and Annotation Tools
for Analysis of Marine Imagery and video):
Unlocking the potential of marine imagery

2. Challenges
• Huge growth in
underwater imagery

• Time intensive to
annotate
• Fragmented approach to
• storage locations
• methodology
• analysis
• classification
3. Cost of Annotation
BRUV
•1 hour video = ~2.5-3
hours to analyse
•~$143 per drop
•$1 219 750 for 8500
drops
AUV, TI
•5 point analysis
•100 images per day for
experienced benthic
ecologist
•Deployment transect
(2000-15000 images)
Cost inhibiting uptake and expansion of these monitoring
methods

4. Disparate data sources
• What is the distribution of kelp
or seagrass at a continental
scale?
• What are the effects of climate
change on marine habitats on a
continental scale?
14. Annotation tool
• Assist researchers to save time
• Option to use existing tool(s) then map into
CATAMI classification
• http://sandbox.catami.org/
17. Approach to project
• User focus
(Technical Working Group)
• Usability testing
• https://github.com/catami/catami/wiki
18. Conclusion
CATAMI aims to:
1)increase efficiency
2)enable new science
CATAMI is user-driven
12 sprints left to shape
Next steps
- Broadscale classification
- Machine learning

21. The many collaborators on the project and the Technical Working Group (TWG) who without their
support this project would not be possible
This project includes development funded by the Australian National Data Service
(ANDS, http://ands.org.au) and the National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources
(NeCTAR, http://nectar.org.au).
ANDS is supported by the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy Program and the Education Investment Fund (EIF) Super Science Initiative.
NeCTAR is an Australian Government project conducted as part of the Super Science initiative and
financed by the Education Investment Fund. The University of Melbourne has been appointed the
lead agent by the Commonwealth of Australia, Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research
and Tertiary Education.
