Guidance for image-based identification of traded animals in highly occluded contexts.
Identifying birds in the wildlife trade
This website and repository is a contribution which evolved from my Master’s by Research in the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology at the University of Kent, which was submitted in September 2021. I hope it can be of some use to you!
My principal supervisor for this work has been Dr. David Roberts and my secondary supervisor has been Professor Julio Hernandez-Castro in the School of Computing.
