This book gives a start-to-finish overview of the whole
Fish4Knowledge project, in 18 short chapters, each describing one
aspect of the project. The Fish4Knowledge project explored the
possibilities of big video data, in this case from undersea
video. Recording and analyzing 90 thousand hours of video from
ten camera locations, the project gives a 3 year view of fish
abundance in several tropical coral reefs off the coast of
Taiwan. The research system built a remote recording network,
over 100 Tb of storage, supercomputer processing, video target
detection and tracking, fish species recognition and analysis, a
large SQL database to record the results and an efficient
retrieval mechanism. Novel user interface mechanisms were
developed to provide easy access for marine ecologists, who
wanted to explore the dataset. The book is a useful resource for
system builders, as it gives an overview of the many new methods
that were created to build the Fish4Knowledge system in a manner
that also allows readers to see how all the components fit
together.
