scientists better understand ocean animal communities| |View
15-sec videos, identify ocean animals.| Digital Fisher needs
volunteers to help analyze deep-sea videos -- 15 seconds at a
time. Volunteers watch a short video of the ocean and click on a
simple response. The NEPTUNE Canada observatory has recorded
thousands of hours of video from underwater cameras, but there
is currently no software sophisticated enough to automatically
identify a wide variety of animals. This is where you come in!
With no training at all, you'll be able to help scientists
unveil the mechanisms that shape the animal communities of the
ocean. You'll help scientists answer fundamental questions about
biodiversity, species behavior, and the impact of various
environmental factors.
