ANALYSIS AND DEEP LEARNING MODELING OF SENSOR-BASED OBJECT DETECTION DATA IN BOUNDED AQUATIC ENVIRONMENTS

Techniques for analysis and deep learning modeling of sensor-based object detection data in bounded aquatic environments are described, including capturing an image from a sensor disposed substantially above a waterline, the sensor being housed in a structure electrically coupled to a light housing, converting the image into data, the data being digitally encoded, evaluating the data to separate background data from foreground data, generating tracking data from the data after the background data is removed, the tracking data being evaluated to determine whether a head or a body are detected by comparing the tracking data to classifier data, tracking the head or the body relative to the waterline if the head or the body are detected in the tracking data, and determining a state associated with the head or the body.
