Abstract:
Traditionally, animal surveillance is a common task for biologists. However, this task is often accompanied
by the inspection of huge amounts of video. In this sense, this paper proposes an automatic video processing
algorithm to identify the gender of a kestrel species. It is based on optical flow and texture analysis. This
algorithm makes it possible to identify the important information and therefore, minimizing the analysis time
for biologists. Finally, to validate this algorithm, it has been tested against a set of videos, getting good
classification results.
