The vehicle also collects measurements for research and improvement of the growth rate of the products, while, on a second level, fish quality control and evaluation of nutritional value is carried out through specialized indicators (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid, biogenic amines, trimethylamine and others).<\/p>\n <p>The intent of this work is the use of robotics and computer vision to make net inspection easier, safer and cheaper for aquaculture units \u2014 a demanding need for the Greek aquaculture industry, especially in remote coastal and island areas. The technology was patented (Greek Industrial Property Organisation \u2014 OBI).<\/p>\n <div class=\"funding\">This research has been co-financed by the European Union and Greek national funds through the Operational Program Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, under the call RESEARCH \u2013 CREATE \u2013 INNOVATE (project code: T2EDK-02504).<\/div>\n\n <details>\n <summary>Publications (12)<\/summary>\n <div class=\"inner\">\n <ul>\n <li>M.

However, research has shown that biometric identification can be cheated using fake biometric features.<\/p>\n <p>To address this and simplify user identification, the project proposes a multimodal biometric code, generated by combining the user’s biometric features with a sealing (steganographic) process, making it unique to each individual. Various feature combinations were explored and their security experimentally demonstrated.<\/p>\n\n <details>\n <summary>Publications (4)<\/summary>\n <div class=\"inner\">\n <ul>\n <li>K.

However, research has shown that biometric identification can be cheated using fake biometric features.<\/p>\n <p>To address this and simplify user identification, the project proposes a multimodal biometric code, generated by combining the user’s biometric features with a sealing (steganographic) process, making it unique to each individual. Various feature combinations were explored and their security experimentally demonstrated.<\/p>\n\n <details>\n <summary>Publications (4)<\/summary>\n <div class=\"inner\">\n <ul>\n <li>K.
