About
My name is Kévin Planolles and I am currently a postdoc research fellow at the University of Reunion Island.
I achieved a PhD in functional ecology and ecophysiology in November 2025 at the University of Montpellier. During this PhD, I worked at both MARBEC (MARine Biodiversity, Exploitation and Conservation) and LIRMM (Laboratoire d'Informatique, Robotique et Micro-Electronique de Montpellier), where I was part of the ICAR team. My PhD was supervised by Marc Chaumont, Gérard Subsol and Sébastien Villéger. My PhD's thesis is titled "Automatic census of coastal fishes biodiversity". It was founded by the ANR project FISH-PREDICT which aimed to predict the biodiversity of reef fishes within the context of global change.
My research primarily focuses on computer vision applied to underwater object detection and classification with deep learning methods. I also explore issues related to long-tail learning and fine-grained classification.
