EREMITE: A marinE infRastructurE to MonItor the sTate of the sEas
Summary
EREMITE is an open, low-cost multi-sensor marine monitoring system deployed on an autonomous sailboat, designed to track coastal ecosystem health using any sensor configuration in any location. The system aims to digitize marine environments to better understand their ecological state and functioning.
EREMITE is a low-cost and open multi-sensory system that monitors and digitises our coastal marine ecosystems to understand their state, ecological health and functioning, with the concept of any sensor, anytime, anywhere. It is made of an optical multi-sensing system onboard an autonomous sailboat that perceives and reasons about underwater abiotic and biotic conditions of our critical natural resources. Besides standard water quality parameters acquired with COTS optical sensors, the drone implements a digital holographic microscope, able to detect in real-time micro-plastics and diatoms. The task of diatom classification and microplastics detection of particles flowing in the micro-channel occurs with deep learning methodologies, which have proven to perform reliably, as shown by the computed metrics.
