• Abstract: This paper introduces WildlifeReID-10k, a new large-scale re-identification benchmark with more than 10k animal identities of around 33 species across more than 140k images, re-sampled from 37 existing datasets. WildlifeReID-10k covers diverse animal species and poses significant challenges for SoTA methods, ensuring fair and robust evaluation through its time-aware and similarity-aware split protocol. The latter is designed to address the common issue of training-to-test data leakage caused by visually similar images appearing in both training and test sets. The WildlifeReID-10k dataset and benchmark are publicly available on Kaggle, along with strong baselines for both closed-set and open-set evaluation, enabling fair, transparent, and standardized evaluation of not just multi-species animal re-identification models.

  We construct a dataset that includes 49 species, 37K individual animals, and 225K images, using this data to train a single embedding network for all species. Our model consistently outperforms models trained separately on each species, achieving an average gain of 12.5% in top-1 accuracy. The model is already in production use for 60+ species in a large-scale wildlife monitoring system.

  We conduct a study by revisiting several state-of-the-art person re-identification methods, including BoT, AGW, SBS, and MGN. We evaluate their effectiveness on animal re-identification benchmarks such as HyenaID, LeopardID, SeaTurtleID, and WhaleSharkID. Our findings reveal that while some techniques well, many do not generalize, underscoring the significant differences between the two tasks. We propose ARBase, a strong textbfBase model tailored for textbfAnimal textbfRe-

  Animal Re-ID is crucial for wildlife conservation, yet it faces unique challenges compared to person Re-ID. This study addresses background biases by proposing a method to systematically remove backgrounds in both training and evaluation phases. Our method achieves superior results on three key animal Re-ID datasets: ATRW, YakReID-103, and ELPephants.

  Motion-activated camera traps constitute an efficient tool for tracking and monitoring wildlife populations across the globe. Supervised learning techniques have been successfully deployed to analyze such imagery, however training such techniques requires annotations from experts. Reducing the reliance on costly labelled data has immense potential in developing large-scale wildlife tracking solutions with markedly less human labor.

We find that many of the classes are ill-defined or overlapping, and that 12% of the images are incorrectly labeled. We also find that both the wildlife-related labels and images included in ImageNet-1k present significant geographical and cultural biases.

  APT-36K is the first large-scale benchmark for animal pose estimation and tracking. It consists of 2,400 video clips collected and filtered from 30 animal species with 15 frames for each video, resulting in 36,000 frames in total. We benchmark several representative models on the following three tracks: (1) supervised animal pose estimation on a single frame under intra- and inter-domain transfer learning settings, (2) inter-species domain generalization test for unseen animals, and (3) animal pose estimation with animal tracking.
