Last week I had the opportunity to attend #WACV2025 in beautiful Tucson! It was a great experience and I got to meet new people and catch up with friends from far away. On the first day of the conference, I presented our work, "AutoFish: Dataset and Benchmark for Fine-grained Analysis of Fish" in the #MaCVi workshop. The workshop brought together people from all over the world with an interest in maritime applications and I had many insightful discussions with everyone who came by our poster. 📌 Project website: https://lnkd.in/dEf8icdf A huge thank you to all co-authors: Stefan Hein Bengtson, Daniel Lehotsky, Niels Madsen, Professor Thomas Moeslund, Malte Pedersen
