Wildbook-IA Release Notes
The following updates have been made to WBIA over the past two months.

  • SAGE-225 - Curated a large-scale research database for ID matching with Grevy’s zebra, will be used to evaluate performance of new LCA curation algorithm [also SAGE-187]
  • SAGE-17 - Curated dataset of 5,000 dorsal fin edge tracings, exported for use in training new ID algorithms like CurvRank V2 and FinFindR [also SAGE-31, SAGE-41, SAGE-44, SAGE-170, SAGE-188, SAGE-193]
  • SAGE-57 - Completed the prototype plug-in for LCA and integrated into latest Docker image for beta-level testing [also SAGE-58, SAGE-250, SAGE-251]
  • SAGE-32 - Integrated CurvRank V2 ID plug-in with new models for dorsal fins (for nearly a dozen species), humpback whale flukes, and elephant ears [also SAGE-256, SAGE-34, SAGE-201]
  • SAGE-191 - Upgraded speed of on-demand CurvRank V2 matching by around 30% by pre-rendering match images during feature computation
  • SAGE-9 - Evaluate CurvRank V2 ID retrieval performance on large dataset, seeing improvement of about 10% compared to FinFindR and CurvRank V1 for large dataset
  • SAGE-19 - New ID support with PIE for gray whales and PIE V2 prototyping for whale shark ID [also SAGE-189]
  • SAGE-194 - New detection support for spotted hyeana (Crocuta crocuta)
