arXiv:2607. 18700v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The FathomNetCLEF 2026 competition combines underwater object detection and fine-grained marine species classification under a positive-unlabeled evaluation setting.
arXiv:2607. 26238v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We investigate lightweight raptor-species classification for real-time edge deployment in wind-turbine collision mitigation.
arXiv:2607. 14509v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper describes DS@GT ARC's third-place solution to the PlantCLEF 2026 challenge on multi-species plant identification in vegetation quadrat images, where systems must predict every species present in high-resolution (~3000 x 3000 pixel) plot photographs while training only on single-label images of individual plants.
arXiv:2606. 03748v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-time vision demands models that are accurate, efficient, and simple to deploy across diverse hardware.
arXiv:2608. 15790v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Crevasse mapping from uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery matters for glaciological research and for field safety in glaciated terrain.
We describe the DS@GT submissions to the ImageCLEFmedical Caption 2026 challenge, which continues a long-running benchmark on the ROCOv2 dataset with two tracks: Concept Detection (Task 1), assigning UMLS Concept Unique Identifiers (CUIs) to radiology images, and Caption Prediction (Task 2), generating natural-language captions. For Task 1, our primary submission was a three-way late-fusion ensemble of ConvNeXt-V2, BiomedCLIP ViT-B/16, and DenseNet-169 with a regularized ''Honest Threshold Tuning'' procedure designed to avoid validation overfitting on rare concepts; this submission ranked first on the official submission with a primary $F_1$ of $0.
arXiv:2607. 22068v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-branch architectures and CNN-Transformer fusion have long been regarded as effective ways to improve vehicle re-identification (Re-ID) by combining complementary representations.

Camera traps have become a cornerstone of biodiversity monitoring, but the artificial intelligence that turns vast quantities of images into usable ecological data is often locked behind commercial platforms or trained on fauna that does not match that of the British Isles. In an attempt to remove barriers and increase uptake, we release an open-source object detection model for 31 classes, 28 common UK mammal and bird species, plus utility classes for humans, calibration poles, and vehicles, drawn from a curated dataset of 48,165 labelled instances assembled from multiple sites over a decade of operational deployment through Conservation AI and its successor, Trap Tracker.

arXiv:2608. 17917v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic Target Detection and Recognition (ATD/R) is critical for military decision support and (semi-)autonomous operations.
arXiv:2509. 04682v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying reliable bioacoustic monitoring systems requires models that generalize under high-noise, low-SNR conditions and evaluation protocols that expose deployment-relevant failure modes, gaps largely unaddressed in current UPAM practice.
arXiv:2606. 25989v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated classification of marine species from underwater imagery is essential for scalable ocean biodiversity monitoring and conservation policy.
