Research

Three R&D Themes

Three observation approaches at different scales run in parallel, their results converging into a shared data platform.

  1. Generating big data on marine particles using event-based vision sensors (EVS) Using event-based vision sensors (EVS) developed for industrial applications, marine organisms such as plankton and sedimentary aggregates (marine snow)... Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc. Susumu Takatsuka
  2. A sustainable society where marine life and people coexist, realized through biologging High-resolution behavioral and environmental data gathered by sensors attached to marine animals, operated on an intelligent platform capable of real-time delivery… Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, The University of Tokyo Katsufumi Sato
  3. Developing foundational technologies to generalize marine biodiversity big data, and applied technologies to safeguard the richness of the ocean Biodiversity data from diverse observations is integrated into a common schema and applied to optimal MPA placement and ecosystem-degradation risk analysis… Phase-1 theme University of the Ryukyus Yasuhiro Kubota
