ReelData launches an eye for AI
Aquaculture camera is designed for use with artificial intelligence applications
Canadian company ReelData, which specialises in artificial intelligence solutions for aquaculture, has launched a cage camera “developed from the ground up for AI applications”.
Nova Scotia-based ReelData says its ReelVision camera is up to the task of working with any AI model, in any farming environment, for any type of analysis including behavioural analysis, feeding rates, fish health, and welfare.
“We have been building AI, software and hardware for the aquaculture industry for five years,” said ReelData in a press release. “We found the cameras in the market unreliable and unacceptable, so we set out to build our own cameras that work, period.”
The company promises zero hardware failures from the robust-design camera, which can operate as both an advanced AI camera and a standard IP (internet protocol) camera.
2mm pellet detection
It also enables AI to detect very small objects and is currently being used to detect 2mm feed pellets in smolt facilities.
“After using ReelVision for over a year now, it has shown a significant improved accuracy in pellet detection. Clients have noted its reliability with fewer operational disruptions and the reduced need for maintenance like rerunning cables or replacing hardware,” stated ReelData.
“There has been limited innovation in standard IP cameras in the aquaculture industry, ReelData’s AI-first camera system represents a significant advancement. As the aquaculture industry increasingly integrates AI, ReelVision is set to become an essential tool, enabling farmers to concentrate on producing healthy, sustainable protein without the operational headaches we’ve resolved over the past five years.”
