Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for aquatic biomass estimation. One of the methods includes obtaining an image of an aquatic environment including aquatic grass; providing the image to a network model trained to construct a point cloud indicating a portion of the image that represents the aquatic grass; generating a floor model indicating a floor of the aquatic environment where the aquatic grass grows; identifying, using (i) the floor model and (ii) the point cloud indicating the aquatic grass, (i) a first subset of points in the point cloud as indicating aquatic grass and (ii) a second subset of points in the point cloud as indicating the floor of the aquatic environment; and generating, using the first subset of points in the point cloud, an indication of biomass within the aquatic environment.
