NICMA
About NICMA
Bridging marine science, computer vision and conservation.
Our Mission
At NICMA, we aim to make marine science more accessible, ethical and innovative. Our mission is to provide a non-invasive, video-based platform that helps researchers, divers and conservationists understand the movement, energy use and ecology of marine animals using simple underwater videos.
We believe that understanding how animals move and how much energy they use can help us better understand their condition and the health of their ecosystems — especially in a changing ocean.
Our Story
NICMA (Non-Invasive Camera Motion Analysis) was created to address a major challenge in movement and energy research: traditional studies often require expensive and invasive tracking methods.
To address this challenge, the NICMA platform was developed to extract movement data and energy estimates from video — without harming or tagging animals.
This collaboration between marine biology and technology became the foundation of NICMA: a bridge between science, innovation and conservation.
