Aphotic Imperiled

High-Level Project Summary

Summary : The inThe AIDMAP project proposes an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based approach for the detection of floating marine litter in accumulation zones. Vertical integration of small drone and satellite data will be evaluated for the detection of the marinecreasing amount of plastic littered into the sea may provide a new substratum for benthic organisms. These marine fouling communities on plastic have not received much scientific attention. Develop : The AIDMAP project proposes an AI-based approach for the detection of floating marine litter . Vertical integration of small drone and satellite data will be evaluated for the detection of the marine litter at different spatial scales.

Detailed Project Description

Detailed Project Description

What exactly does it do : The aphotic zone makes up the majority of the ocean but a minority of its life forms. Descending to the ocean floor, the water temperature decreases while pressure increases tremendously. Critical habitat is a tool that supports the continued conservation of imperiled species by guiding cooperation within the Federal government. AI along with geospatial technology & remote sensing solved the problem of reducing plastic debris in marine.

 How does it work : he data is there, but not collected in a way that allows helpful artificial intelligence and machine learning projects to be performed. Understanding what type of data is needed for a particular project is the first step in identifying where that data might already exist. If it doesn’t exist, that’s when experimentation can help by filling in the gaps in the available data.

What benefits does it have : “The plastics that pollute the oceans can have very different origins: they can come from land, or be dropped directly into the oceans by fishing boats or ships, and vary in shape, composition and size,” explains Carolina Sá, industrial relations and project officer for Earth Observation at Portugal Space. A meaningful part of this waste is invisible to the naked eye, the so-called microplastics, but others have significant dimensions, such as fishing gear left at sea. “The identification, quantification and monitoring of this waste is crucial to understand the problem in all its dimensions and assess which corrective or preventive measures will be most effective,” adds the marine science specialist.

What do you hope to achieve : This challenge has a clear worldwide reach as we aim to find solutions that can be applied anywhere, but it also has a crucial national element, as we intend to promote the development of national technology or encourage the transfer of knowledge and technology to Portugal“, states Carolina Sá. The Portugal Space project officer adds that the proposal submitted by foreigner entities must “provide guarantees that they will be able to develop activity from Portugal”.  

What tools, coding languages, hardware, or software did you use to develop your project : The color dataset can use used to make a color detection app in which we can have an interface to pick a color from the image and the app will display the name of the color. 13.3 Source Code: Color Detection Python Project. Machine Learning Datasets for Deep Learning. An application programming interface, or API, enables companies to open up their applications’ data and functionality to external third-party developers, business partners, and internal departments within their companies. This allows services and products to communicate with each other and leverage each other’s data and functionality through a documented interface. Developers don't need to know how an API is implemented; they simply use the interface to communicate with other products and services.

Hackathon Journey

How would you describe your Space Apps experience : Bullying, discrimination, or harassment on any basis will not be tolerated in the Space Apps Challenge. We strive to ensure that Space Apps is a place where every person feels they belong, where they are comfortable being authentic, and where they are empowered to contribute to their fullest.

What did you learn? What inspired your team to choose this challenge: Do choose someone who truly inspired you in order to ensure a more authentic response. Discuss a figure that is appropriate for the position you are seeking. Provide specific examples of how this person inspired you.

What was your approach to developing this project: Based on the experience, recommends project managers follow the below steps to develop a plan that results in quality deliverables on time and within budget. 1. Collect requirements from key stakeholders. Once you’ve created a project charter and identified key project stakeholders, it’s essential to gather requirements.

How did your team resolve setbacks and challenges :hallenges are often brushed aside with the hope that they will just disappear, which they rarely do. Instead, be proactive. Whichever of these teamwork challenges you face, address them and create a successful team. Common challenges of working in a team 1. Lack of trust.

Is there anyone you'd like to thank and why : My special thanks to Team Lead and Go Team. With their doubt clarification ...it is possible....Many many thanks to them. I am truly obliged.

  • Planning or Scheduling: The most constructive feature that you can use while using Project Management tools is to plan or schedule the activities and tasks. It is required for the success of your project. You can plan and delegate work to all of the team members in a single place with folders, calendars, workflows, templates, tasks, and subtasks.
  • Collaboration: Emails are no longer the single form of communication when it comes to transferring information among team members. Project Management tools can be effectively used to add comments on tasks, organize dashboards, assigning tasks and also for approvals and proofing.
  • Documentation: When the team or the project managers are working on multiple projects, there are bound to be some blunders where some files can get lost and there is no way to recover them. To avoid these mistakes, project management tools offer features like storing files, versioning them and also editing them which will save you from any mishaps.
  • Evaluation: These tools also provide functionalities like reporting and resource management that help the project managers to assess and track the growth and productivity
