Image Processing: Sharks and Segmentation
Channel: NHM Digital, Data and Informatics
Date: 2014-09-22

In this science seminar Stéfan van der Walt and Pieter Holtzhausen talk about computer-assisted image processing.

In the first half of the talk Stéfan introduces the science of computer vision and provides working demonstrations using Python.

In the second half Pieter presents two applied examples of computer vision in natural history: identifying South African sharks from their fins and a newly developed application, Inselect, which can be used to recognise insects within scanned drawers in natural history collections.
