Project challenge:

The client needed a system to automate the recognition of Right Whales from aerial photographs.

Tracking the individual Right Whales was necessary to protect the endangered species, track migration routes and count the whales in a herd. Whale identification had always been done manually, with skilled researchers comparing photos with a catalogue, a process that took up to three hours.

deepsense.ai’s solution reduced the time to three minutes, by developing the most accurate model in the world with over 87% up to 98% of accuracy. The model was based on Convolutional Neural Networks that have been optimally selected to deal with the uneven distribution of training data (some whales were underrepresented in the training set)
