| Abstract |
Infra-red trail cameras can collect data for multiple wildlife species to understand species composition, distribution, social structure, activity pattern, ecology and population dynamics, and therefore are commonly used in wildlife survey. However, the images require long time and huge human effort to process. This project combines image processing and deep learning models to develop auto-image processing and species classification for medium to large mammals in Taiwan. |
