A Paired RGB-Sonar Dataset for Fish Monitoring with Consumer Sonar
We introduce the Huntington and Caltech Koi RGB and Sonar dataset (HaCKRS), which pairs Garmin LiveScope imaging-sonar recordings with top-down RGB video of koi carp.

Key points
- Imaging sonar enables underwater observation in conditions where optical imaging is ineffective due to darkness and turbid water.
- Consumer forward-looking sonar has the potential to make fish monitoring more accessible, but its noisy imagery makes annotation and the development of automated methods challenging.
- The release focuses on paired observations and calibration rather than task-specific fish annotations.
- We intend HaCKRS to support annotation and the development of fish detection, tracking, and counting methods, and investigations into the potential of consumer sonar for ecological monitoring.
