Counting Problems in Conservation

We're actively exploring new applications for CountGD, our object counting model designed to automatically count instances in images. So far, we've partnered with bird experts to count birds in aerial imagery, helping assess the impact of climate change on population trends. We're now looking to expand into other domains where automated counting could make a difference—if you have a relevant use case or idea, we'd love to hear from you!

Additionally, if you've tested CountGD on your own dataset, we’re eager to hear your feedback—whether it performed well or revealed opportunities for improvement. Your input will help guide future development and improvements.




Does a fine job with the thermal images I've tested. I tested with cars as well at quite a distance, just can't paste the image here for privacy reasons. But this cat one I can :)
