Animal re-identification @ CVPR

This tutorial will introduce the field of individual animal re-identification (ReID), a critical area in ML and CV that has profound ecological, conservation, and societal impacts. Accurate and scalable animal ReID allows for the long-term monitoring of endangered species, aids in combating wildlife poaching, and supports ecosystem management efforts. By enabling the identification of individuals without invasive tagging, ReID technology promotes ethical wildlife research while enhancing our ability to track animal movements, population dynamics, and behavioral patterns. This half-day hybrid tutorial will include four segments of several talks delivered by four speakers (with some speakers presenting twice), aligning with CVPR's requirement of three or more speakers. The hybrid format will maximize accessibility and community engagement. Besides, we aim to host a panel discussion with various experts to encourage interactivity, answer questions, and inspire new directions for research in this area.
