  • Publication number: 20240314444
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that validate the synchronization of controllers in an aquaculture environment. An image processor receives images generated by a first image generating device that includes a light filter that is associated with light of a particular light frequency while an aquaculture environment was illuminated with light. The image processor determines whether the intensity value of the light frequency in the image satisfies a threshold value based on the generated image. The image processor determines whether the aquaculture environment was illuminated with light of a particular light frequency when the image was generated based on the whether the intensity value of the particular light frequency in the image exceeds the threshold value. The image processor provides for output an indication of whether the aquaculture was illuminated with light of the particular frequency when the image was generated.
