Giraffe Photo Regions of Interest

Caption

A new program developed by researchers from Penn State and Microsoft Azure automatically detects regions of interest within images, alleviating a serious bottleneck in processing photos for wildlife research. The new program successfully identified the region of interest -- unique marks on giraffe torsos -- in giraffe photos, even when the giraffe occupied a small region of the photo or when they were partially covered by vegetation.
