Automated bird detection using SSD-mobile net in images.

At present, detection and recognition of animals remain a complicated task and no distinctive technique can solve all situations strongly and effectively. Animal detection in images is challenging because of the complexity of wild environments. Including several different things: The large differences in shapes and color appearances of variations of objects which belong to the same class, and Lighting/Illumination Conditions. This paper presents an effective and efficient animal detection system for Birds detection in images. MobileNet SSD model is a Single Shot Multibox Detection (SSD) suggested in this work, which is capable of handling different shapes and view angles of the objects. This approach allows extracting features of image regions and using deep learning techniques for classifying regions into two categories: (bird and non-animal). The experimental results demonstrated the efficiency of classification and detection of single and multi-animals even in difficult environmental conditions. The accuracy of detection and classification is up to 98.8%. This methodology is more accurate than other similar approaches. This paper exhibits a method for training a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on object detection classifiers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
