US Patent 11532153 Splash detection for surface splash scoring

A method of surface splash scoring includes receiving, at an electronic device, a set of camera frames corresponding to images of a water surface. The electronic device processes the set of camera frames with a trained machine learning model to generate one or more quantifications associated with fish activity proximate the water surface. In some embodiments, a surface splash score is computed that represents an appetite level anticipated to be exhibited for a first time period. Subsequently, the electronic device generates an output indicative of the surface splash score.
