The SEAMS App, is a powerful tool designed for the interpretation of seafloor images and video. Developed for the Sveriges Geologiska Undersokning (SGU) this application streamlines the annotation and mapping process of underwater data using the visuel methods.
With the SEAMS App, users can easily analyze and annotate seafloor imagery and video, enabling efficient and accurate interpretation for geological studies, marine research, and various underwater mapping applications. It offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the workflow, allowing users to mark, classify, and estimate the abundance of seafloor epibenthos and substrates.
Whether you are a geologist, marine scientist, or environmental researcher, the SEAMS App provides a comprehensive platform to support your seafloor interpretation needs. Enjoy the streamlined workflow and harness the power of cutting-edge technology to unlock valuable insights from underwater imagery and video.
- Streamlined annotation and mapping of seafloor images and video for Nordic aquatic ecosystems, specially Sweden.
- Efficient marking, classification, and measurement of features of interest
- User-friendly interface for easy interpretation and analysis-
- Reduced navigation screens with image overlay: Dot points overlay directly on exported video frames for seafloor interpretation with custom dot points creation with randomization over the video frames.
- Direct view of frame results while performing the seafloor interpretation.
- Point intercept tagging of the image, with possibility to extend the seafloor annotations using image segmentation methods, like the segment anything model.
- Developed and maintained by Be GeoSpatial AB
- Ordered by the Sveriges Geologiska Undersokning (SGU)
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems Vinnova (Diarienummer: 2021-03642) and the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development Formas (Brg2160) for their support, which has been instrumental in the development of the SEAMS app. Their commitment to advancing technology for environmental management in terrestrial and aquatic environments is deeply appreciated.
The SEAMS App was developed in Sweden with love at Be GeoSpatial. Be GeoSpatial's expertise in geospatial technologies and dedication to creating innovative solutions for marine science have resulted in a robust and reliable tool that enhances seafloor data analysis and mapping capabilities.
