CFC26: Building Evaluations for Deployment in Sonar-Based Fish Counting

Madison Van Horn, Suzanne Stathatos, Sevan Brodjian +6

Accurate counts of fish populations are essential for monitoring ecosystems and making decisions for conservation, harvest limits, and river management. In many field deployments,…

Targeted Review for AI-Assisted Biodiversity Surveys: Active Continuous-Score Occupancy Modeling

Timm Haucke, Lauren Harrell, Justin Kay +2

We increasingly use machine learning to label scientific datasets. The models we develop and deploy are improving all the time, but they are not and will likely never be perfect. M…

MoveBench: A Benchmark for Global-Scale Wildlife Movement Forecasting

Justin Kay, Shir Bar, Ellen O. Aikens +28

Understanding and predicting wildlife movement is critical for ecology and conservation. While trajectory forecasting has advanced for human and vehicle movement, wildlife trajecto…

Teach a Molmo2Fish: Towards interactive fish tracking with natural language guidance

Kai Van Brunt, Justin Kay, Sara Beery

Computer vision is increasingly used to automate recognition tasks in large ecological datasets, but more complex tasks such as multi-object tracking continue to pose challenges. A…

Consensus-Driven Active Model Selection

Justin Kay, Grant Van Horn, Subhransu Maji +2

The widespread availability of off-the-shelf machine learning models poses a challenge: which model, of the many available candidates, should be chosen for a given data analysis ta…

Counting Fish with Temporal Representations of Sonar Video

Kai Van Brunt, Justin Kay, Timm Haucke +3

Accurate estimates of salmon escapement - the number of fish migrating upstream to spawn - are key data for conservation and fishery management. Existing methods for salmon countin…

Comparing fine-grained and coarse-grained object detection for ecology

Jess Tam, Justin Kay

Computer vision applications are increasingly popular for wildlife monitoring tasks. While some studies focus on the monitoring of a single species, such as a particular endangered…

Align and Distill: Unifying and Improving Domain Adaptive Object Detection

Justin Kay, Timm Haucke, Suzanne Stathatos +5

Object detectors often perform poorly on data that differs from their training set. Domain adaptive object detection (DAOD) methods have recently demonstrated strong results on add…

Teaching Computer Vision for Ecology

Elijah Cole, Suzanne Stathatos, Björn Lütjens +5

Computer vision can accelerate ecology research by automating the analysis of raw imagery from sensors like camera traps, drones, and satellites. However, computer vision is an eme…

The Caltech Fish Counting Dataset: A Benchmark for Multiple-Object Tracking and Counting

Justin Kay, Peter Kulits, Suzanne Stathatos +5

We present the Caltech Fish Counting Dataset (CFC), a large-scale dataset for detecting, tracking, and counting fish in sonar videos. We identify sonar videos as a rich source of d…
