The monitoring and identification of the Iberian lynx is the cornerstone on which the conservation of this unique feline in the world is based. This tool is an essential support in this task because it is a great time saver and allows seamless exchange of information between the different organizations involved in monitoring. On the other hand, WWF in collaboration with WildBook want to open the study of the Iberian lynx to the general public, uniting citizen science with new technologies, so that any nature lover can contribute to the recovery of this species.

Algorithms
HOTSPOTTER
Hotspotter is a SIFT-based computer vision algorithm. It analyzes the textures in an image to find distinct patterning, or "hot spots", and then compares those against other images in the database. Unlike machine learning-based approaches, HotSpotter can help build new catalogs for new species that need to match individuals but don’t have the training data yet for machine learning-based approaches. Hotspotter can also match new individuals without the need for network retraining. Hotspotter produces a ranked list of potential matches, increasing match scores with increasing similarity.
