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.
