This is the hope of researchers at Microsoft Research’s Computational Ecology and Environmental Science group (CEES) who are working with ornithologists from the Evolutionary Biology and Behavioural Ecology group at
The researchers at CEES have now teamed up with
The teams aim to use these algorithms to monitor a population of Common Guillemots and automatically analyse video data of the birds in their cliff nesting area on
