SharkEye AI initiative at UC Santa Barbara uses drones to monitor great white sharks at Padaro Beach, improving swimmer safety with a computer vision model.
SharkEye, an AI initiative at UC Santa Barbara's Benioff Ocean Science Laboratory, uses drones to monitor shark activity at Padaro Beach, California. AI technology identifies great white sharks near the shore with a computer vision model, potentially improving safety for swimmers. The model is planned to be free and available for researchers, and an AI-powered app could be created for lifeguards and drone hobbyists to use.
