Scientists at the University f Oxfrd have develped new artificial intelligence(AI) sftware t recgnize and fllw up the faces f individual chimpanzees（黑猩猩）in the wild. The new sftware will allw researcher and wildlife cnservatinists t greatly cut back n time spent analyzing vides, accrding t the new paper published tday in Science Advances.
“Fr species like chimpanzees, which have cmplex scial lives and live fr many year, getting phts f their behavir frm shrt-term field research can nly tell us s much.” says Dan Sehfield, researcher and DPhil student at Oxfrd University’s Primate Mdels Lab, Schl f Anthrplgy. “By taking advantage f the pwer f machine learning t unlck large vide files, it makes it pssible t measure behavir ver the lng term.”
The cmputers mdel was trained using ver 10 millin images（影像）frm Kyt University’s Primate Research Institute (PRI) vide files f wild chimpanzees in Guinea, West Africa. The new sftware is the first t cntinuusly track and recgnize individuals in a wide range f psed, perfrming with high accuracy in difficult cnditins such as lw lighting and pr image quality.
