Hi Eleonora,

I have added Nursehound support to Sharkbook.ai and documented the general use in this short, custom video:

Just a note that we do not know how well in advance either the Hotspotter or Modified Groth algorithms may work for matching individuals, and we don’t have photos of matched individuals to test with. Your data submissions will help us get there as you use and get experience with the system.

You can read more about them and our computer vision pipeline as a whole here:

https://docs.wildme.org/docs/researchers/ia_pipeline

Please review the video and let me know if you have any questions or want to set up a review meeting.

Another question I have is: do you have one or more study sites that you commonly photograph Nursehounds at? We can configure those in our system to help limit matching.

Thanks,
Jason
