Sammendrag
CRIMAC is a recently established centre for Research-based Innovation funded by the Research Council of Norway. This presentation gives an overview of the current results and plans for the centre. CRIMACs objective is to advance the frontiers in fisheries acoustic methodology and as-sociated optical methods, and to apply such methods to surveys for marine organisms, fisheries, aquaculture and the energy sector. To meet these objectives, we have set up a net pen infrastruc-ture where we can do fine scale broad band measurements on a range of different marine species, and we collect and catalogue in situ broad band data from surveys. We are also working on models of broadband scattering, where we are particularly interested in modelling the detailed spectra of individual targets. Verification methods using optical systems and dropped probes are also being tested, and we will present a few results where we use an in-trawl camera system. IMR has recently procured several autonomous vehicles, and we are working on machine learn-ing methods for analysing large volumes of acoustic data, including an approach on embedding these methods in the vehicles. Possibilities for future collaboration and joint projects with the centre will be presented.
