Object, Classification, Tagging, Organization, and Pattern Understanding Solution (OCTOPUS)This initiative leverages AI technologies to build an Object, Classification, Tagging, Organization, and Pattern Understanding Solution (OCTOPUS) to enhance the analysis of video, image, and audio data, improve monitoring capabilities and support decision-making processes at DFO. The MVP will initially focus on video processing capabilities, with planned expansion to image and audio analysis in FY 2026–27. In addition, the initiative will deliver integrated data annotation and model training tools to support continuous improvement and reuse of AI models.
