Wildbook
Open-source image recognition that helps identify and track individual wild animals from photos.
About
Wildbook combines photos from researchers, cameras, tourists, and citizen scientists into shared species databases. Models identify the animal in the image and propose matches based on unique patterns such as spots, stripes, fins, or scars. Researchers confirm the identity and can then better track populations, migration, and survival without physically marking each animal.
AI factor
Image recognition reduces a large image collection to promising matches in a short time. Species experts verify the match, correct metadata, and use the observations for ecological research and conservation policy.
