• A zigzag survey design for continuous transect sampling with guaranteed equal coverage probability 

      Harbitz, Alf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Marine resource surveys in large areas have high cost, and to find an optimal survey design with regard to efficiency and scientific outcome is an important issue. A randomized zigzag design for straight line and curved ...

    • Age prediction by deep learning applied to Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) otolith images 

      Martinsen, Ivar; Harbitz, Alf; Bianchi, Filippo Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Otoliths (ear-stones) in the inner ears of vertebrates containing visible year zones are used extensively to determine fish age. Analysis of otoliths is a time-consuming and difficult task that requires the education of ...
    • Automatic Fish Age Determination across Different Otolith Image Labs Using Domain Adaptation 

      Ordonez, Alba; Eikvil, Line; Salberg, Arnt-Børre; Harbitz, Alf; Elvarsson, Bjarki Thor (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The age determination of fish is fundamental to marine resource management. This task is commonly done by analysis of otoliths performed manually by human experts. Otolith images from Greenland halibut acquired by the ...
    • Automatic interpretation of otoliths using deep learning 

      Moen, Endre; Handegard, Nils Olav; Allken, Vaneeda; Albert, Ole Thomas; Harbitz, Alf; Malde, Ketil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The age structure of a fish population has important implications for recruitment processes and population fluctuations, and is a key input to fisheries-assessment models. The current method of determining age structure ...
    • Explaining decisions of deep neural networks used for fish age prediction 

      Ordonez, Alba; Eikvil, Line; Salberg, Arnt-Børre; Harbitz, Alf; Murray, Sean Meling; Kampffmeyer, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Age-reading of fish otoliths (ear stones) is important for the sustainable management of fish resources. However, the procedure is challenging and requires experienced readers to carefully examine annual growth zones. In ...
    • Impacts of extreme weather events on transport infrastructure in Norway

    • Parameter-sparse modification of Fourier methods to analyse the shape of closed contours with application to otolith outlines 

      Harbitz, Alf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-05)
      Elliptical Fourier descriptors (EFDs) have been used extensively in shape analysis of closed contours and have a range of marine applications, such as automatic identification of fish species and discrimination between ...
