Accelerating ocean discovery with artificial intelligence

VIDEO: MBARI

MISSION

FathomNet streamlines access to artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to accelerate the analysis of ocean visual data.

SOLUTIONS

Three interconnected software platforms to make AI and ocean research more accessible and impactful

Portal

The FathomNet Portal is a globally accessible end-to-end tool that interfaces with FathomNet Database and FathomVerse. It utilizes machine learning to dramatically accelerate the analysis of ocean imagery.

Database

The FathomNet Database is a growing database of expert-annotated images and machine learning models that provides machine learning-ready data representing all underwater life for software engineers and marine scientists.

FathomVerse

FathomVerse is an app that enables users to interact with real ocean imagery, helping to train AI models through community science.
