Classifying Whales

 


Contrast:
  • Patterns of black and white pigmentation
Shape:
  • Scars on the underside of the fluke
  • Marks on the right and left lobes of the fluke
  • Edges
Feature Engineering

Why it is important: Being able to detect and track animals in the wild, allows make better plans for the preservation
How it works: Extracted features (manually engineered or learned) produce simpler, but relevant data that is then modelled
Applications: Tracking water animal
