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.
Remote-sensing and UAV applications need models that generalize across platforms and viewpoints without task-specific training. Yet training-free pipelines often falter on oriented geometry, scale/rotation variation, and crowded ports or airfields, and rarely unify detection and segmentation.
Meta AI has recently released the Segment Anything Model (SAM), which demonstrates exceptional zero-shot image segmentation performance across various tasks with remarkable accuracy. Despite its inability to provide accurate segmentation across multiple research fields, SAM still serves as a valuable starting point for supporting the segmentation pipeline process, particularly for tasks that require extensive and senior skills annotations.
Reconstructing dynamic and interactive 3D scenes from real-world observations remains a fundamental challenge in computer vision and robotics. While recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting have enabled high-fidelity static reconstruction, extending it to interactive environments with articulated robots and manipulable objects remains difficult due to complex contact interactions and abrupt pose changes.
Precise rover localization is a prerequisite for autonomous lunar exploration, yet the absence of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals and the cumulative drift of local localization methods severely constrain long-range missions. Cross-view localization provides a promising drift-free global solution by matching rover-view and satellite-view imagery.
Coastline detection in remote sensing imagery is commonly formulated as a pixel-wise segmentation problem, where the final coastline is extracted from a predicted mask through post-processing. This formulation relegates coastline geometry, the primary representation used in coastal change analysis, to a secondary artifact rather than the learning objective.
