5. Conclusion
Computer vision and automated techniques offer a new generation of
methods for collecting and analysing movement data. Our approach
complements, rather than replaces, traditional techniques. Although
current CV techniques have certain limitations, we demonstrated that CV
can monitor small-scale movement of many individuals from underwater
footage. CV has the capacity to provide several streams of ecological
information that can inform data-driven decision that directly influence
the health and productivity of marine ecosystems.
