• Abstract: Identifying individual animals is crucial for many biological investigations. In response to some of the limitations of current identification methods, new automated computer vision approaches have emerged with strong performance. Here, we review current advances of computer vision identification techniques to provide both computer scientists and biologists with an overview of the available tools and discuss their applications. We conclude by offering recommendations for starting an animal identification project, illustrate current limitations and propose how they might be addressed in the future.

  We aim to locate and provide a unique identifier for each mouse in a cluttered home-cage environment through time. This is a very challenging problem due to (i) the lack of distinguishing visual features for each mouse, and (ii) the close confines of the scene with constant occlusion. Our approach achieves 77% accuracy on this animal identification problem, and is able to reject spurious detections when the animals are hidden.
