RAPID: Research on Automated Plankton Identification
At last! The other half of the data analysis for AMT21 LIZA camera and PIA analysis. This paper compares net samples, analysed by PIA using the semi-automatic methodology, with the underway samples and manual analysis.

A new development in plankton imaging and analysis is in publication. See http://www.ommegaonline.org/article-in-press.php?id=29
The LiZA line-scane camera system was used to image AMT21 (Atlantic Meridional Transect). In flow images from over 700 cubic metres of water have been analysed and a preliminary sort using a semi-automated pattern analysis technique, using the Plankton Image Analyser, is reported.

Just to let you know that of a big study we (Phil Culverhouse, Chris Gallienne & Bob Williams) are getting into. Using our software (PIA) and Linescan imaging systems (LIZA) to gather near-continuous mesozooplankton data from Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) cruises. This image shows some examples of AMT21 (2011). Plankton Image Analyser (PIA) allows us to process and sort samples in a couple of hours using Gorsky's et al. semi-automated validation protocol (see the 2010 Zooscan paper).
We estimate errors in labelling to be less than 10% across the datasets. We have processed over 300,000 of the 1 million specimen images gathered from AMT21. We hope to be posting the results in the coming months.
Chris is taking our equipment on AMT22 which commences on 10th October. This work is a joint project between Plymouth University and Plymouth Marine Laboratory.
