Automated detection of Antarctic benthic organisms in high-resolution in situ imagery to aid biodiversity monitoring: optimal model weights

Model weights for the optimal object detection model, trained on the Weddell Sea Benthic Dataset. Trained 2025-05. Weights should be used with a Deformable-DETR architecture.

This work was funded by the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship MR/W01002X/1 ''The past, present and future of unique cold-water benthic (sea floor) ecosystems in the Southern Ocean'' awarded to Rowan Whittle.
