Interactive machine vision for wildlife conservation
Benjamin Kellenberger · 2020
The loss rate of endangered animal species has reached levels that are critical enough for our time to be called the sixth mass extinction. Families of vertebrates and large mammals, such as Rhinocerotidae, are likely to become extinct in a few years unless countermeasures are taken. Before doing so, however, it is imperative to assess current animal population sizes through wildlife censuses. Furthermore, conservation eorts require animal populations to be monitored over time, which implies conducting census repetitions over multiple years.
