Hey, you are asking the right kind of questions! There are quite a lot of things which make Animal Detect unique, while we constantly build on new and improved features.
Currently, we are working with ViT models and different methods and algorithms in combination with classical detection models, to add even more true positive detections into classes, while also using these algorithms to suggest classes for images.
Our algorithms scales and works best on larger uploads of data, where we actually create a model from the data, while we run classification.
While all of this is happening, we also help to sort the detections based on similarities, for a quicker way to re-classify and handle human-in-the-loop.
I am trying to (if it works) upload a gif, where you can see a result from where we got detections of over 21.000 animals from about 6.000 images. What you will see is that the images are not sorted based on the label (even if you can filter them as you wish) but instead similarities. This makes the reviewing and adjustment of classes a breeze, compared to manually going through and spotting a black-backed jackals together with a mix of other types of animals.
We are always open for feedback to improve this even further 😊

Case Studies Wanted! How is AI already being used in the Ecology sector in the UK (and beyond?)

Hi Sam,
I'm the Nature Tech and AI Innovation Manager at Conservation International, and we have a number of use cases of AI for different aspects of conservation (sustainable supply chains, restoration, nature finance, climate adaption, etc.). But, we work primarily across the Global South (Africa, Latin America, Asia-Pacific) so they aren't UK or Europe examples. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to chat more, if not for this podcast, just for general knowledge-sharing :)

There is a mast, yes, and it is being tested at the moment. It seems to be working fine but at the moment I am not 100% sure it will remain on. But lets hope so

Hi Fadhilla,
Thank you so much for reaching out to me. I am interested and will contact you via email.
Thanks again,

Hi Craig,
I have had the chance to look more closely into your TagRanger product and the information that is available also here on WildLabs. I would definitely be interested as it seems to be a perfect fit for what I would like to do.
I read that you have been doing a trial with tracking tortoises. I would be interested to know where that project is, if you dont mind me asking, please. I currently working in Seychelles with Aldabra Giant Tortoises and it would not surprise me if the project is here... If so, I would try and reach out to hear about that projects' experience, particularly with tracking tortoises.
One question I did not find the answer to: does the TagRanger also record any enviornmental variables such as temperature?
