Nesher Bari Intro: Using Machine Learning for Vulture Conservation
Vultures are an important part of the ecosystem, as they help to clean up after dead animals. However, vulture populations have been declining due to a number of factors, [...]
Pepeketua ID – An app to streamline the identification of Archey’s frogs
In this post, I describe how we have developed the Pepeketua ID app, an open-source software to help identify individuals of Archey’s frogs, a critically endangered species. The app [...]
Using AI to Identify New Zealand Fish – Project Completion Update
In this post, we explain the different machine learning experiments we performed to create models to automatically identify fish in underwater videos. An underwater image, from Kapiti Marine [...]
Spyfish Aotearoa: using AI to identify New Zealand fish
In this post, we will share an update on how we are using machine learning to identify fish in underwater videos using data labelled by citizen scientists. Adi [...]
Archey’s frog landmark detection – Part II
Welcome to the second post of the landmark detection models. In this post, I will explain the models we used, the results we got and discuss the next steps [...]
Archey’s frog landmark detection – Part I
Welcome to the first of two posts where I will explain how we have developed landmark detection models to locate Archey's frogs. Our models, like the commonly used face-detection [...]
How we used ML to identify fish
In this short post, I will share how our team of volunteers (data rangers) used machine learning to identify fish from underwater videos. I hope the description of our [...]
