- Description
- The conventional methods of animal identification can be replaced with a semi-automatic image analysis tool, which distinguishes individuals based on their unique markings. A flexible framework for the analysis must encompass a combination of relevant features with interchangeable animal-specific modules. Developing a Java-ImageJ plug-in alleviates routine functionality, but enforces some degree of conformity. Zebra photographs are used as the initial data under consideration. De-interlacing, adaptive thresholding, smoothing and sharpening are identified as beneficial pre-processing steps. Binarisation and sequential thinning are discussed as essential processing stages. Pattern extraction and matching is based on vectors relative to a manually defined region of interest. Provision for enhancing the system to allow fully automatic processing must be made.
