SOLAQUA: SINTEF Ocean Large Aquaculture Robotics Dataset
This dataset addresses the need for real-world underwater robotics data in aquaculture, benefiting researchers and industry practitioners.
The paper introduces the SOLAQUA dataset, collected using an underwater robot in a sea-based aquaculture environment, which includes sensor data from operational fish farms to support research and industry applications.
This paper presents a dataset gathered with an underwater robot in a sea-based aquaculture setting. Data was gathered from an operational fish farm and includes data from sensors such as the Waterlinked A50 DVL, the Nortek Nucleus 1000 DVL, Sonardyne Micro Ranger 2 USBL, Sonoptix Mulitbeam Sonar, mono and stereo cameras, and vehicle sensor data such as power usage, IMU, pressure, temperature, and more. Data acquisition is performed during both manual and autonomous traversal of the net pen structure. The collected vision data is of undamaged nets with some fish and marine growth presence, and it is expected that both the research community and the aquaculture industry will benefit greatly from the utilization of the proposed SOLAQUA dataset.
