Animal Behaviour

Fast, accurate analysis of raw video footage for wild chimpanzees

Innovative artificial intelligence software can analyse decades’ worth of video recordings of wildlife in its natural habitat in just seconds, identifying individuals and social structures with ease.

Anthropology

Putting Order into the Jacques Toussele Archive

Computer vision technology allows both individuals and artefacts to be rapidly and accurately located wherever they appear in this archive of more than 46,000 Cameroonian photographs, despite variations in age, pose, scale and illumination.

15cILLUSTRATION

15cILLUSTRATION is a searchable database of 15th-century printed illustrations developed by the 15cBOOKTRADE project in collaboration with the Seebibyte project. It is the first comprehensive and systematic tool to track and investigate the production, use, circulation, and copy of woodblocks, iconographic subjects, artistic styles, etc. within 15th-century printed illustrated editions.

Materials

Crystal counting in metal solidification experiments

The aim of this collaboration was to implement a machine learning algorithm that could count the metal crystals in the radiography videos in order to monitor their formation rate, and characterize it with respect to several experimental variables such as cooling rate.

Zoology

Counting penguins in the wild

The penguin counter is a machine learning system that can count and localize the penguins in an image taken from the time-lapse cameras. A single instance of the counter can process several images per second, dramatically speeding up the data analysis pipeline.
