Top Shark Computer Vision Models
The models below have been fine-tuned for various shark detection tasks. You can try out each model in your browser, or test an edge deployment solution (i.e. to an NVIDIA Jetson). You can use the datasets associated with the models below as a starting point for building your own shark detection model.
At the bottom of this page, we have guides on how to count sharks in images and videos.
Guide: How to Count Sharks with Computer Vision
With a model hosted on Roboflow like the ones above and the open source supervision Python package, you can count sharks in your images and videos.
The following code snippet counts the number of sharks present in an image.
To use the snippet below, you will need to run pip install roboflow supervision. Replace the project name and model name with any model trained on Universe, such as those listed above.
import supervision as sv
import roboflow
roboflow.login()
rf = roboflow.Roboflow()
# replace with the shark project you choose above
project = rf.workspace("sharks").project("shark-taxonomy")
shark_model = project.version(3).model
results = shark_model.predict("shark.jpg").json()
sharks = sv.Detections.from_roboflow(results)
# print number of sharks
print(len(sharks))Guide: How to Count Sharks in a Zone
With a bit more code, you can count the number of shark present in a specific zone of your image or video.
The following code snippet counts the number of shark present in each frame in a video.
To use the snippet below, you will need to run pip install roboflow supervision. Replace the project name and model name with any model trained on Universe, such as those listed above.

)Guide: How to Track Sharks Crossing a Line
You can count how many sharks have crossed a line using the supervision LineCounter method.
The following code snippet counts the number of sharks that cross a line in a video.
To use the snippet below, you will need to run pip install roboflow supervision. Replace the project name and model name with any model trained on Universe, such as those listed above.
