ABIOP - Deliverable D04.03: Terms of reference to stimulate innovation in the measurement of environmental parameters

Comparison of multiparameter probes

ABIOP - Deliverable D03.03: Improvement of image analysis protocols for macrofouling integrating environmental measurement conditions

This report focuses on two important parameters for biofouling image analysis: the artificial light and the distance to the structure. The first section presents the available tool that was already deployed in several studies in link with industrial needs (O’Byrne et al., 2018c) and the laboratory equipment. Section 2 focuses on the automatic segmentation algorithm and the indicators of quality of assessments. Finally section 3 introduces configurations that were tested and the key results.

ABIOP - Deliverable D04.01b: REX (at T+12 months) of the in situ tests - comparison of the implementation of the protocols by divers and by ROV according to the different possibilities of interactivity

Measurement of the diameter of the biocolonised moorings and the composition of the biofouling at T+12 months of immersion.

ABIOP - Deliverable D04.01a: REX (at T+6 months) of the protocols developed in lots 2 & 3 and proposal of a first optimisation phase.

Measurement of the diameter of biocolonised moorings and biofouling composition at T+6 months of immersion.
