Urban snake ecology revealed through the lens of decadal data on snake rescues in a megacity
Global Ecology and ConservationRapid urbanization in tropical and sub-tropical cities has driven habitat loss and intensified human–wildlife conflict, particularly involving snakes. In the absence of apex predators, snakes function as mesopredators and play important ecological roles ...

2014 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2014 Visual cues like texture, color and context make objects appear distinct from the surroundings, even without gradients between regions. Texture-rich objects are often difficult to segment because algorithms need advanced features which are unique for the image. In this paper we suggest a method for image segmentation that operates without training data.
