Image Based Species Recognition System Using Machine Learning

EasyChair Preprint no. 10004

Abstract

Studies in the area of animal species recognition have been limited primarily due to the use of primitive technology such as trapping ink footprints on paper to differentiate between species by varying baits in the trap. The goal of this research was to create a species recognition system for traps which would use eigenface based identification technique. This process, usually used in human face recognition, is being applied to feral rodents such as possums, cats, and weasels. After removing the background from the training images, the technique had a 55%, 33%, and 45% success rate for recognizing possums, cats, and weasels respectively.

Keyphrases: Image based recognition, process, species recognition
