Wildlife re-identification aims to recognise individual animals by matching query images to a database of previously identified individuals, based on their fine-scale unique morphological characteristics. Current state-of-the-art models for…
In this paper, we present a method for localizing a query image with respect to a precomputed 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) scene representation. First, the method uses 3DGS to render a synthetic RGBD image at some initial pose estimate.…
The need for long-term multi-object tracking (MOT) is growing due to the demand for analyzing individual behaviors in videos that span several minutes. Unfortunately, due to identity switches between objects, the tracking performance of…
Automatic snake species recognition is important because it has vast potential to help lower deaths and disabilities caused by snakebites. We introduce our solution in SnakeCLEF 2022 for fine-grained snake species recognition on a heavy…
Deep learning models for image classification are typically trained under the "closed-world" assumption with a predefined set of image classes. However, when the models are deployed they may be faced with input images not belonging to the…
Recent object detectors find instances while categorizing candidate regions. As each region is evaluated independently, the number of candidate regions from a detector is usually larger than the number of objects. Since the final goal of…
MetaScope is a fast and accurate tool for analyzing (host-associated) metagenome datasets. Sequence alignment of reads against the host genome (if requested) and against microbial Genbank is performed using a new DNA aligner called SASS.…
In this paper, we propose a new query-based detection framework for crowd detection. Previous query-based detectors suffer from two drawbacks: first, multiple predictions will be inferred for a single object, typically in crowded scenes;…
