      Foraminifera are single-celled marine organisms that construct shells that remain as fossils in the marine sediments. Classifying and counting these fossils are important in paleo-oceanographic and -climatological research. However, the identification and counting process has been performed manually since the 1800s and is laborious and time-consuming. In this work, we present a deep learning-based ...
    • Towards detection and classification of microscopic foraminifera using transfer learning 

      Johansen, Thomas Haugland; Sørensen, Steffen Aagaard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-06)
      <p>Foraminifera are single-celled marine organisms, which may have a planktic or benthic lifestyle. During their life cycle they construct shells consisting of one or more chambers, and these shells remain as fossils in marine sediments. Classifying and counting these fossils have become an important tool in e.g. oceanography and climatology. <p>Currently the process of identifying and counting ...
