WildTrackAI – Applies Computer Vision to Animal Footprint Classification

ABSTRACT

• This Project propose animal identification system that employs image processing techniques.
• Firstly, the collected footprint images are pre-processed.
•  Images are converted into gray-scale and boundaries of image are determined using canny algorithm.
• Further, footprint images are segmented. Gabour filter are used to extract features of segmented image.
• After feature extraction, features are reduced based on unsupervised model.
•  Then reduced feature vectors are inputted into the classification model. Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) is used for classification and identifying the animal class.

EXISTING SYSTEM

• Several techniques currently exist to study the behavior of animals.
• Mostly used technique was Sound Classification or image classification of the particular animals
• But the Problem was most of the time human unable to capture the sound and photo of the particular animal due to unavailability.

DISADVANTAGES

• Humans have difficulty in accurately carrying out this task because not every footprint left by an animal is a perfect one.
• Footprints are usually smudged or only partially visible.
• An animal could be identified by humans who wouldn’t contain any prior knowledge of animal footprints.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

• The image processing techniques have been established to optimize the footprints, input image is converted into greyscale, Edge detection on the image.
• All the images in the dataset are read, processed, and feature extracted, raw data is loaded for classification of input image.
• This project proposed a Gabour filter response, for extracting texture features and preserves texture features of an image in frequencies.
• Selective scale and orientation filter is applied on input image to acquire texture features.
• And Segmentation requires separating the image from the background for efficient classification.
• Next step is extracting templates of the footprints.
• In template matching process along with template updating is specified.
