The three datasets contain a total of 11,637 images of 280\nindividual primates from 14 species. Primate face recognition performance is\nevaluated using two existing state-of-the-art open-source systems, (i) FaceNet\nand (ii) SphereFace, (iii) a lemur face recognition system from literature, and\n(iv) our new convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture called PrimNet.\nThree recognition scenarios are considered: verification (1:1 comparison), and\nboth open-set and closed-set identification (1:N search). We demonstrate that\nPrimNet outperforms all of the other systems in all three scenarios for all\nprimate species tested. Finally, we implement an Android application of this\nrecognition system to assist primate researchers and conservationists in the\nwild for individual recognition of primates.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1804.08790v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.08790v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"face-recognition-primates-in-the-wild","repo_url":"https://github.com/ronny3050/PrimateFaceRecognition","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"all","task_name":"All"},{"task_slug":"face-recognition","task_name":"Face Recognition"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
