Southern Cross University marine researchers have successfully developed a process that will allow them to more accurately identify one humpback whale from another.
It involves a detailed compilation of photographic images of all-natural marks on an individual humpback whale that are then catalogued and investigated, using multi-feature artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to match each whale’s individual markings.
According to lead researcher Dr Trish Franklin, it’s comparable to using human face recognition technology for the identification of an individual humpback whale.
The paper in the Journal of Cetacean Management and Research aims to manage the potential for misidentification of individual mammals and to contribute to development of advanced AI algorithm photo-matching technologies. ....
