The PanAf-SBR Dataset: Social Behaviour Recognition for Wild Great Apes
Maciej Braszczok, Otto Brookes, Xiaoxuan Ma +6
Behavioural shifts in wild great ape populations, particularly the breakdown of social structures, can serve as an early indicator of population decline. Automating the detection o…
Automating Visual Recognition of Leprosy in Wild Chimpanzees
Katie I. Murray, Anna C. Bowland, Marina Ramon +9
Leprosy (Mycobacterium leprae) has been confirmed in wild western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) in West Africa, presenting as clear and progressive visual symptoms. Manual re…
The Invisible Hand of Physics: When Video Diffusion Models Know More Than They Show
Parsa Esmati, Somjit Nath, Katja Hofmann +3
Modern video diffusion models generate increasingly realistic and temporally coherent videos, motivating their use as candidate world simulators. Yet it remains unclear whether the…
Deep in the Jungle: Towards Automating Chimpanzee Population Estimation
Tom Raynes, Otto Brookes, Timm Haucke +6
The estimation of abundance and density in unmarked populations of great apes relies on statistical frameworks that require animal-to-camera distance measurements. In practice, acq…
Visual-textual Dermatoglyphic Animal Biometrics: A First Case Study on Panthera tigris
Wenshuo Li, Majid Mirmehdi, Tilo Burghardt
Biologists have long combined visuals with textual field notes to re-identify (Re-ID) animals. Contemporary AI tools automate this for species with distinctive morphological featur…
The SA-FARI Dataset: Segment Anything in Footage of Animals for Recognition and Identification
Dante Francisco Wasmuht, Otto Brookes, Maximillian Schall +21
Automated video analysis is critical for wildlife conservation. A foundational task in this domain is multi-animal tracking (MAT), which underpins applications such as individual r…
WildLive: Near Real-time Visual Wildlife Tracking onboard UAVs
Nguyen Ngoc Dat, Tom Richardson, Matthew Watson +7
Live tracking of wildlife via high-resolution video processing directly onboard drones is widely unexplored and most existing solutions rely on streaming video to ground stations t…
Towards Application-Specific Evaluation of Vision Models: Case Studies in Ecology and Biology
Alex Hoi Hang Chan, Otto Brookes, Urs Waldmann +11
Computer vision methods have demonstrated considerable potential to streamline ecological and biological workflows, with a growing number of datasets and models becoming available…
MMLA: Multi-Environment, Multi-Species, Low-Altitude Drone Dataset
Jenna Kline, Samuel Stevens, Guy Maalouf +10
Real-time wildlife detection in drone imagery supports critical ecological and conservation monitoring. However, standard detection models like YOLO often fail to generalize across…
The PanAf-FGBG Dataset: Understanding the Impact of Backgrounds in Wildlife Behaviour Recognition
Otto Brookes, Maksim Kukushkin, Majid Mirmehdi +17
Computer vision analysis of camera trap video footage is essential for wildlife conservation, as captured behaviours offer some of the earliest indicators of changes in population…
ChimpVLM: Ethogram-Enhanced Chimpanzee Behaviour Recognition
Otto Brookes, Majid Mirmehdi, Hjalmar Kuhl +1
We show that chimpanzee behaviour understanding from camera traps can be enhanced by providing visual architectures with access to an embedding of text descriptions that detail spe…
PanAf20K: A Large Video Dataset for Wild Ape Detection and Behaviour Recognition
Otto Brookes, Majid Mirmehdi, Colleen Stephens +24
We present the PanAf20K dataset, the largest and most diverse open-access annotated video dataset of great apes in their natural environment. It comprises more than 7 million frame…
