معرفی
Malte Pedersen is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Aalborg University's Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology within The Technical Faculty of IT and Design. He works in the Section for Media Technology at Campus Aalborg, focusing on visual analysis and perception with applications in marine and maritime research. His work is associated with several research initiatives including "Visual Analysis and Perception," "AI for the People," and "AAU BLUE – Marine & Maritime Research."
Dr. Pedersen's research spans the intersection of computer vision and marine science, with a particular emphasis on underwater imaging and analysis. His work addresses challenges in turbid water environments, marine organism identification, and fisheries monitoring. He has developed several important datasets for underwater computer vision research, including BrackishMOT for multi-object tracking of marine species and 3D-ZeF for zebrafish tracking.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on applying computer vision techniques to solve practical problems in marine environmental monitoring, fisheries management, and underwater exploration. His research shows a clear trajectory toward developing robust AI systems that can operate effectively in challenging underwater conditions, with applications ranging from seagrass mapping to bycatch identification and automated fisheries monitoring.
