Sharkbook - MiewID detections not working

Hi, since go live of the latest software, I am finding that MiewID is not working. Normally it returns around 50-60 results per image, but today its returning nothing.

I searched by doing 1:NewMatch > 2:Selected EastAustralia and all children under > 3: MyData > 4: MiewID and no matches.

Then I tried searching again and removed “MyData” from the selection box (the way it defaults) - still no matches.

It’s not working for me with whale sharks either, i.e. Wildbook

I had multiple locations set for a Seychlles shark:

PIE isn’t loading any matches either.

Thanks,

Simon.

@jason for visibility

Thank you both for your reports. We’ve been debugging this and hope to have an update soon.

Hi @simonjpierce @Sarah_Aus_SpotaShark

This has been resolved. The new MiewID vector fast matcher was tested on three previous, large platforms without issue. Sharkbook.ai had a lot of unexpected, legacy data that caused some performance problems in matching. The solution was a combination of data cleanup and some optimization code to better handle larger volumes of matching candidates. Fixes also extended to improving PIE v2 (whale sharks) and HotSpotter performance too.

Apologies for the down time, and please let me know if you experience any issues with the fix in place.
