Metric Learning Based Pattern Matching For Species Agnostic Animal Re-Identification
In the active effort to monitor and protect endangered animal species, modern technology is replacing the previously used conventional techniques of tracking using GPS or tagging which are considered invasive in nature. The non-invasive technology such as camera traps collects a large amount of data remotely, enabling the use of computer vision techniques to perform the analysis including re-identification of animal individuals. The re-identification of the animal individuals can be done by training a convolutional neural network to measure the
