All FathomNet Resources

Marine Biology is a field of study that focuses on the living organisms in saltwater habitats. Saltwater habitats are vast and diverse! Many research questions stem from previously collected data, observations, and areas of study that have many unanswered questions.

Play FathomVerse to improve your organism identification skills and learn about 3 animal groups.

Art and science are sometimes viewed as distinct disciplines, but biologists often use art to visually explain many aspects of biology. From anatomical structures of newly discovered species to molecular processes that are difficult to conceptualize without an image, these diagrams are an important form of science communication.

The FathomNet Portal is an online, collaborative tool for end-to-end AI-assisted processing of ocean imagery. Via a web interface, Portal users can access AI models and create annotations to analyze their videos and photos of the ocean.

Consider incorporating FathomVerse in your classroom and help advance ocean science!

The FathomNet Portal helps users train their own machine learning models by providing intuitive interfaces for annotation, streamlined access to the necessary computational power, and accessible tools to analyze the output.

Chrome and Edge are the recommended browsers as of Beta3 with limited support for Safari. The website styling is not targeted for mobile users, and test coverage has not included mobile as a primary use case. Let us know what you think! As our beta roll outs we are working on supporting a wide variety of features in a limited set of browsers reliably, and expanding the supported browsers as we grow. Currently authentication will work in most browsers, but users may not be abl

Learn how to organize your content more effectively by setting up nested folders and moving media files into folders you have created. Folders At the top of every project is a root folder, this is denoted as "/". All projects start with this initial root folder and it cannot be edited. When Media is in a folder, you can now view this media group in the main gallery view, and additional views provided you have the correct permissions, such as the Observations Gallery view. The

When you are ready to start adding media from a local computer to the portal via the website's upload capabilities, here are some screenshots and tips that can help you on your way. Also, learn more about transcoding. There are two ways to begin a web upload. First, you can choose single or multiple files from your computer file picker by clicking "Upload Files" in the media gallery, or you can drag and drop single or multiple files into the gallery. Subsequent the file selec

Granular user roles are a good way to introduce people into your project, while controlling the way they can interact with data. While each project team will have different requirements for data review, quality assurance, and quality control, the FathomNet team has done user research to identify these basic roles for the current version of Portal. Available user roles and descriptions Project Admin - Can edit all aspects of the project. Project appears on Dashboard. Can up

Users on the portal can control who has access to their data using project privacy settings in addition to user management. Project Creation As a new user to Portal, if you haven't been assigned a role in a project, you will need to start one. As the project creator, your user will also be the admin of that project. You will give the project a name, a default avatar, and choose the privacy level. Project Privacy There are three privacy levels in the FathomNet Portal: Public
