Kirsten Crane

Kirsten is working in collaboration with the Marine MEGAfauna Lab from the school of Natural and Environmental Sciences. Her research looks at automating the control of a camera-fitted underwater vehicle by using deep reinforcement learning in the context of active object tracking. The research is a first look at whether an autonomous vehicle of this sort could be used for collecting underwater footage and audio of cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoise) in the wild.
