BR See Turtle

BR See Turtle (2015–2018) investigated pattern-recognition methods to assist in identifying sea turtle species from photographs. The proposal considered a collaborative information system where observers could submit images, locations, and animal conditions to contribute to monitoring and conservation activities.

Because reliable species identification requires expertise, the project proposed evaluating color and texture features to help triage observations and reduce manual classification effort. Automated analysis was intended to support, rather than replace, expert validation of biological records.
