This catch and release pattern is quite common in many wildlife surveys.
For example, when estimating tiger populations, instead of painting a white dot, rangers set up camera traps to take photos. Then they can use stripe patterns as a signature for subsequent re-appearances. Quite an interesting intersection for image AI with statistical counting methods.
- canadianfella 5y agoWhy would AI be needed?
- MereInterest 5y agoAre there adjustments that need to be made for non-random sampling in that case? I'd imagine that with any territorial animal, a stationary camera is most likely to see the same animal multiple times.
- ramanan 5y agoTrue. I’m no expert in this area, but there are a lot more factors too - including territorial range and even different camera locations.
