• Title: Persistent Animal Identification Leveraging Non-Visual Markers
• Authors: Michael P. J. Camilleri and Li Zhang and Rasneer S. Bains and Andrew Zisserman and Christopher K. I. Williams
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Our objective is to locate and provide a unique identifier for each mouse in a cluttered home-cage environment through time, as a precursor to automated behaviour recognition for biological research. 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, making standard visual tracking approaches unusable. However, a coarse estimate of each mouse's location is available from a unique RFID implant, so there is the potential to optimally combine information from (weak) tracking with coarse information on identity. To achieve our objective, we make the following key contributions: (a) the formulation of the object identification problem as an assignment problem (solved using Integer Linear Programming), and (b) a novel probabilistic model of the affinity between tracklets and RFID data. The latter is a crucial part of the model, as it provides a principled probabilistic treatment of object detections given coarse localisation. Our approach achieves 77% accuracy on this animal identification problem, and is able to reject spurious detections when the animals are hidden.

• Uncertainty Estimation for 3D Object Detection via Evidential Learning [63.61283174146648]
  We introduce a framework for quantifying uncertainty in 3D object detection by leveraging an evidential learning loss on Bird's Eye View representations in the 3D detector. We demonstrate both the efficacy and importance of these uncertainty estimates on identifying out-of-distribution scenes, poorly localized objects, and missing (false negative) detections.

  We show that humans have an individual "kinematic profile" which can be used as a strong signal to identify individual humans. We experimentally show that, for the two use-cases of individual identification and anomaly detection, simple kinematic features fed to standard classification and anomaly detection algorithms significantly improve results.

  Occluded Person Re-Identification (ReID) is a metric learning task that involves matching occluded individuals based on their appearance. We introduce Keypoint Promptable ReID (KPR), a novel formulation of the ReID problem that explicitly complements the input bounding box with a set of semantic keypoints. We release custom keypoint labels for four popular ReID benchmarks. Experiments on person retrieval, but also on pose tracking, demonstrate that our method systematically surpasses previous state-of-the-art approaches.

  Open-world object detection requires a model trained from data on known objects to detect both known and unknown objects. We propose a novel solution called CAT: LoCalization and IdentificAtion Cascade Detection Transformer. We show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of all metrics in the task of OWOD, incremental object detection (IOD) and open-set detection.

  We present a gait identification technique based on temporal and descriptive statistic parameters of different gait phases as the features. It is possible to achieve high accuracy of over 95.5 percent by monitoring a single phase of the whole gait cycle through only a single sensor. It was also shown that the proposed methodology could be used to achieve 100 percent identification accuracy when the whole gait cycle was monitored through pelvis and foot sensors combined.
