Workshop: AI for Earth and Space Science

Abstract

I will summarize our work into automatically identifying, counting, and describing wild animals in camera-trap images with deep learning. The focus of the talk will be both on what has gone well in our efforts, as well as open challenges that, if we can solve, will dramatically improve our ability to study and conserve natural ecosystems and the animals within them.
