I'm so in awe of the amazing group of instructors that have joined me in leading the CV4Ecology Workshop course. Every single one of them has brought so much knowledge, intuition, patience, and empathy to teaching ecology researchers hands-on, practical #ComputerVision

Brian Lee started to “watch trees grow” by using remote sensing and data fusion to look at above-ground biomass (AGB). He used a regression model based on a U-net backbone for his AGB model.

Francesca V. Ponce detected flies in sky-background images using #YOLOv5, encoded temporal information into RGB channels, and compared fly counts from YOLOv5 with her existing count-pipeline 🪰👏

It's been so exciting to be a part of the instructor team for the first CV4Ecology Workshop Summer Workshop on Computer Vision Methods for Ecology. I have learnt so much from this amazing cohort of ecologists using machine learning to advance their research!

Super exciting work by Alixandra Prybyla from Edinburgh Bumblebee Brigade on using bioacoustics for bee species identification. Has been so much fun to work with Alix during the CV4Ecology Workshop summer school !

The dream team 🙌🏻 Every CV4Ecology Workshop instructor and TA was so knowledgeable, kind, and funny. Sara Beery ty for assembling this kick-ass group of #cvHeroes 🦸👩‍💻 and now friends! Justin Kay Tarun Sharma Jason R. Parham, Ph.D.🦓 @eli_cole_ Björn Lütjens 🌍 Benjamin Kellenberger

Last chance to submit to our #NeurIPS2023 workshop on AI and computational methods for sustainability ! 🌿💻

We have an amazing set of speakers and panelists lined up, all of whom are experts in using AI for sustainability and humanitarian efforts. Come learn more about their work at the CompSust workshop at #NeurIPS2023!

Great opportunity to meet like-minded folks working in conservation-tech, sustainability, and ecology while strengthening your computer vision skills 🖥️📷🌿🐨! Come join us at Caltech for the next CV4E workshop.

Great article in Caltech Magazine about the CV4Ecology Workshop program! "It was really amazing to see how bridging gaps between disciplines provides an entirely new perspective" 💜💜💜 Can't wait for #CV4Ecology2025 next January! magazine.caltech.edu/post/what-comp…

Happy to share our initial work on monitoring ant activity using computer vision. Currently working on an expanded version to gain ecological insights into the native velvety tree ant using long-term automated monitoring in the Angeles National Forest. 🎥 🐜

Excited to share my work comparing strategies to use unlabeled data for detecting marine animals in deep-sea images at #CVPR2024. Grateful to have had the opportunity to intern at MBARI last summer and to my mentors DCline (she/her) and Duane Edgington. tinyurl.com/5dmm483w

So grateful to be a part of this incredibly exciting lab!
