Understanding External Influences on Target Detection and Classification Using Camera Trap Images and Machine Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Using machine learning (ML) to automate camera trap (CT) image processing is advantageous for time-sensitive applications. However, little is currently known about the factors influencing such processing. Here, we evaluate the influence of occlusion,...

Is the use of deep learning an appropriate means to locate debris in the ocean without harming aquatic wildlife?

Marine pollution bulletin
With the global issue of marine debris ever expanding, it is imperative that the technology industry steps in. The aim is to find if deep learning can successfully distinguish between marine life and synthetic debris underwater. This study assesses w...

Intelligent Systems Using Sensors and/or Machine Learning to Mitigate Wildlife-Vehicle Collisions: A Review, Challenges, and New Perspectives.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Worldwide, the persistent trend of human and animal life losses, as well as damage to properties due to wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) remains a significant source of concerns for a broad range of stakeholders. To mitigate their occurrences and i...

Perspectives in machine learning for wildlife conservation.

Nature communications
Inexpensive and accessible sensors are accelerating data acquisition in animal ecology. These technologies hold great potential for large-scale ecological understanding, but are limited by current processing approaches which inefficiently distill dat...

Comparing Class-Aware and Pairwise Loss Functions for Deep Metric Learning in Wildlife Re-Identification.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Similarity learning using deep convolutional neural networks has been applied extensively in solving computer vision problems. This attraction is supported by its success in one-shot and zero-shot classification applications. The advances in similari...

Graph Regularized Flow Attention Network for Video Animal Counting From Drones.

IEEE transactions on image processing : a publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
In this paper, we propose a large-scale video based animal counting dataset collected by drones (AnimalDrone) for agriculture and wildlife protection. The dataset consists of two subsets, i.e., PartA captured on site by drones and PartB collected fro...

The African wildlife ontology tutorial ontologies.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Most tutorial ontologies focus on illustrating one aspect of ontology development, notably language features and automated reasoners, but ignore ontology development factors, such as emergent modelling guidelines and ontological principle...

Machine learning goes wild: Using data from captive individuals to infer wildlife behaviours.

PloS one
1. Remotely tracking distinct behaviours of animals using acceleration data and machine learning has been carried out successfully in several species in captive settings. In order to study the ecology of animals in natural habitats, such behaviour cl...

Artificial intelligence and avian influenza: Using machine learning to enhance active surveillance for avian influenza viruses.

Transboundary and emerging diseases
Influenza A viruses are one of the most significant viral groups globally with substantial impacts on human, domestic animal and wildlife health. Wild birds are the natural reservoirs for these viruses, and active surveillance within wild bird popula...

Insights and approaches using deep learning to classify wildlife.

Scientific reports
The implementation of intelligent software to identify and classify objects and individuals in visual fields is a technology of growing importance to operatives in many fields, including wildlife conservation and management. To non-experts, the metho...
