Applying deep learning to right whale photo identification [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2019 Photo identification is an important tool for estimating abundance and monitoring population trends over time. However, manually matching photographs to known individuals is time‐consuming. Motivated by recent developments in image recognition, we hosted

Photo identification laws and perceptions of electoral fraud
Research & Politics, 2021 Photo identification (ID) laws are often passed on the premise that they will prevent voter fraud and/or reduce perceptions of electoral fraud. The impact of ID laws on perceptions of electoral fraud remains unsettled and is complicated by widespread ...

Using citizen science in the photo-identification of adult individuals of an amphibian based on two facial skin features. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Among amphibians, adults have traditionally been identified in capture-mark-recapture studies using invasive marking techniques with associated ethical, cost and logistical considerations. However, species in this group may be strong candidates for photo-

Long-term assessment of whale shark population demography and connectivity using photo-identification in the Western Atlantic Ocean. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 The predictable occurrence of whale sharks, Rhincodon typus, has been well documented in several areas. However, information relating to their migratory patterns, residency times and connectivity across broad spatial scales is limited.
