>scientific queries and effective specialised user query interfaces. A
>combination of computer vision, database storage, workflow and human
>computer interaction methods will be used to achieve this.
>
>The main activities of the researchers at Edinburgh will be to
>investigate how to cluster, recognise and retrieve fish from the
>estimated 10E+10 observations over a 2 year period, and to lead
