VIAME Toolkit – NOAA

n cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Automated Image Analysis Strategic Initiative (AIASI), Kitware and its partners have developed Video and Image Analytics for Marine Environments (VIAME). VIAME is an open source computer vision software platform designed for do-it-yourself artificial intelligence (AI). It is an evolving toolkit that contains many workflows used to generate different object detectors, full-frame classifiers, image mosaics, rapid model generation, image and video search, and methods for stereo measurement. Originally targeting marine species analytics, it now contains many common algorithms and libraries, and is also useful as a generic computer vision library outside of underwater image and video. VIAME is available as a desktop or a web application.
