CRIMAC Workshop
The Center for Research based Innovation in Marine Acoustic Abundance Estimation and Backscatter Classification (CRIMAC) invites partners and guests to a workshop on data processing methods for large volumes of plankton and fisheries-acoustics data. CRIMAC is led by the Institute of Marine Research (Norway).
Workshop objectives
Acoustic data are being collected from a range of platforms and purposes, leading to an increase in data volume. Additionally, historical records from years of data collection are now more accessible for analysis. In both scenarios, traditional manual data processing methods are challenging as they do not scale well. The workshop will cover both the use cases where large amounts of data are collected and the technological and logistical solutions for processing and analyzing the data. The objectives of the workshop are to investigate best practices for big data processing on fisheries acoustic data, to identify current bottlenecks, and to write up a summary report with guidance for the community.
Workshop details
The workshop will take place on the 26-27 September in Nykirkekaien, Norway. To register please visit the registration link here.
- For in person attendance: Register by 15 September or until spaces are filled.
- For online attendance: Register by 15 September
Approach
The first part of the workshop will focus on use-cases that have collected or plan to collect large amounts of acoustic data, what the objectives are for the data collection, how the data processing is currently carried out, and the challenges that the users are facing.
The second part of the workshop will focus on technological solutions for working with big data and how these technologies can be applied to fisheries acoustics data.
