Paper now out in @MethodsEcolEvol!! Looking forward to seeing how the community applies this method.

Since the preprint, I updated the documentation and even made a video tutorial. Do check it out!

If you study it, you must have put a ring on it. @AlexHHChan offers one of the most comprehensive datasets till date to solve the problem of reliable long term monitoring in birds. If YOU are into "REAL WORLD" AI / Wildlife / Bird monitoring - This is your JAM. #CVPR #Highlight

New blog post!!🚨

Michael Chimento gives an overview of the new R package STbayes, designed for creating, fitting and understanding Bayesian models of social transmission

To study emotions in free-ranging #animals, researchers rely on what they see: but inferring #emotions from #behavior is not enough! Our new preprint discusses how #technology could help us better understand animal affect under naturalistic conditions

Chimento et al., develop a 3D Synchronized Outdoor Camera System (3D-SOCS): an inexpensive, mobile and automated method for collecting behavioural data on animals using synchronized video frames from Raspberry Pi controlled cameras 📸

Cv4Animals making it on the big stage 🦍 Congrats @otto_brookes's dataset chosen as one of the cvpr award candidates!!

[Elliott / Shangzhe Wu @elliottszwu]

Another fantastic #CV4Animals workshop in the books! Huge thanks to our incredible speakers, @Grant_Van_Horn, Tilo, Hedvig, Carlos, Vivek, and the amazing organizing team!

Hope to see everyone again next year!

Back to see what the world of computer vision has to offer 😌

[Zoë Goldsborough @GoldsboroughZoe]

Hot off the press 📢: one of the most surprising and unsettling findings of my PhD. A novel social tradition emerged in the tool-using capuchins of Jicarón island… abducting and carrying the infants of another species. Thread with gifs, videos, and all the bizarre details 👇
