Publisher's Description: |
StripeSpotter is an automatic individual animal identification system for animals with prominent stripes or patches, developed as a joint project between the Computational Population Biology laboratory at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the Equid Research and Conservation laboratory at Princeton University. It is intended to be used to identify animals in the wild, and to build biometric databases using photographs taken in the field. We are currently using it to build a zebra-print database for Plains and Grevys zebra in Kenya.
It has a number of friendly features:
Cutting edge algorithms
CO-1 and our own StripeCode algorithm (see below)
Written in C++ for speed
Extremely efficient: runs fast even on old laptops
Database is stored in plain-text, Excel-compatible CSV format
Easy backups (e.g., just drag the whole data folder to a USB key)
Images are stored on disk and can be browsed like any other folder
Can use Dropbox or similar service to synchronize database between many users

Allows the creation of databases with ecological metadata
e.g., GPS coordinates, animal demographics, sighting notes
Add extra fields directly to the CSV spreadsheet database
Completely free and open-source
Full transparency, and the price is right!
Runs on Windows, Mac and Linux
No messy installers - just unzip the download and run!
