Working groups
The marine imaging community keeps focus topics active between Marine Imaging Workshops through informal working groups (WGs). They act as a platform to continuously work together as a team on specific frontiers of the marine imaging research.
Working groups aim to provide products such as open access articles, (executive) summary reports, software tools, etc.
WG FAIR images:
Making image data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) is a major challenge. Image data is massive in size, thus complicated to handle or transfer over the Internet. Metadata standards are lacking or incomplete and standards for annotations of image data are either outdated or incompatible to the needs of marine imaging.This WG aims to solve these challenges by developing a flexible metadata standard can incorporate core image metadata as well as information on image capture, image content up to image annotations. These standards are mainly developed by the DataHub initiative and aim at being the perfect fit to solve the needs of marine imagers without being a hassle in the daily marine imaging workflow.
