Real-Time Detection and Classification of Fish in Underwater Environment Using Yolov5: A Comparative Study of Deep Learning Architectures

This article explores techniques for the detection and classification of fish as an integral part of underwater environmental monitoring systems. Employing an innovative approach, the study focuses on developing real-time methods for high-precision fish detection and classification. The implementation of cutting-edge technologies, such as YOLO (You Only Look Once) V5, forms the basis for an efficient and responsive system. The study also evaluates various approaches in the context of deep learning to compare the performance and accuracy of fish detection and classification. The results of this research are expected to contribute to the development of more advanced and effective aquatic monitoring systems for understanding underwater ecosystems and conservation efforts.
