Image Recognition Algorithm for Deep Sea Bioluminescence — •Sophie Loipolder and Kilian Holzapfel for the P-ONE collaboration — Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany

The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE) is a planned, cubic-kilometer-scale neutrino telescope in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Vancouver, Canada. Two pathfinder experiments have already been deployed: STRAW (STRings for Absorption length in Water) in 2018 and STRAW-b in 2020. Both pathfinder experiments are connected to the NEPTUNE deep-sea observatory, an initiative of Ocean Networks Canada (ONC). In the deep sea, light produced by bioluminescent organisms presents a particular background for neutrino detection, although the bioluminescence data obtained are valuable for interdisciplinary research. The cameras installed in STRAW-b allow a visual detection of the bioluminescence. In this contribution, we present an image recognition algorithm including a deep neural network to analyze the bioluminescence on the pictures.
