Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a valuable imaging modality in civil and environmental monitoring, defense and homeland security applications. This thesis presents novel analytic and computationally efficient SAR image ...

Animal population monitoring is hard to do at large scales. It is too logistically demanding to track thousands of animals with invasive tools like ear tagging, and methods like aerial surveys and hand-based counts cannot ...

A great variety of systems use image sensors to provide measurements for closed loop operation. A drawback of using image sensors in real-time feedback is that they provide measurements at slower sampling rates as compared ...

We address the problem of identifying individual animals from contours that contain identifying markings. The objective is to accelerate the photo identification component of an ecological field survey by presenting potential ...

While we introduced novel attentive deep re-id networks for both image- and video-based re-id, all these networks require well-trained classifiers for retrieving meaningful localized regions and visual explanations, which ...
