... should do for one another. Benjamin Richards suggested that the computer vision community provide a set of integrated software tools to extract biological data needed from existing image data; he also suggested that it develop a set of hierarchical classifiers.

... Several speakers from the fisheries community, includ ing Dvora Hart, Allan Hicks, Benjamin Richards, and Elizabeth Clarke, emphasized to the workshop participants that making manual measure ments of fish abundance, size, and taxonomy is a laborious process that consumes human capital; the automation of such tasks would be very valuable to the fisheries community. Several participants, including Dvora Hart and Hanumant Singh, stated that even partial automation would be helpful -- for example, the automatic separation of underwater images into those with fish and those with no fish, because subsequent processing need not be performed on the latter set.

... Several speakers and participants, including Clay Kunz and Anthony Hoogs, suggested increasing the visibility of the types of problems that currently exist in the fisheries community, because computer vision experts are unlikely to be aware of these data sets and research questions. Anthony Hoogs and Clay Kunz indicated some difficulty in the current access to fisheries data; there is no central repository for data from which computer vision and visual analytics experts can familiarize themselves with the types of data and types of problems in the fisheries community.
