Automated detection of Antarctic benthic organisms in high-resolution in situ imagery to aid biodiversity monitoring: optimal model weights
Model weights for the optimal object detection model, trained on the Weddell Sea Benthic Dataset. Trained 2025-05. Weights should be used with a Deformable-DETR architecture.
This work was funded by the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship MR/W01002X/1 'The past, present and future of unique cold-water benthic (sea floor) ecosystems in the Southern Ocean' awarded to Rowan Whittle.

Methodology:
Model weights for a Deformable-DETR architecture, trained to detect 25 Antarctic benthic morphotypes using the Weddell Sea Benthic Dataset (see Related URLs). Model version: 1.0.0.
Model weights correspond to the optimal object detection model capable of automated benthic organism detection as described in [in-prep].
For model development code, (see Related URLs).
Data collection:
The model was trained using a single High Performance Computing node with CentOS 7, and one NVIDIA A2 GPU. Training was performed using Python v3.8.20 alongside the following packages:
MMDetection v3.3.0 [1]
Pytorch v2.4.0
Pytorch-cuda v12.1
torchvision v0.19.0
sahi v0.11.22 [2]
albumentations v1.3.1 [3]
