FAO AI4DBP AI for right whale photo identification
Channel: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Date: 06/09/2021

Development of operational systems for the use of AI in photo identification and very high resolution satellites. Focusing on marine mammals rather than fish, Christin Khan presents a functional solution for using machine learning to identify individual North Atlantic right whales. Christin Khan is a Fishery Biologist in the Protected Species Branch at NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole. She is an aerial survey observer and data curator of the North Atlantic Right Whale Sighting Survey which conducts aerial surveys to monitor right whale abundance and distribution from New Jersey to Canada. When not in the air, Christin works on innovative projects including AI for automated image recognition (Kaggle / Flukebook), identifying whales from very high resolution satellite imagery, and the development of ropeless fishing gear.
