Working on the "Honeybees under pesticides" experiment, researching 8 weeks of 24-hour recordings across 4 beehives.
I retrained a YOLO vision model in PyTorch to adapt to varying light conditions at the feeding camera. I also optimized the computer vision tracking system for untagged bees, increasing average tracking duration from 1.4s to 5.6s.
The paper replicated is "Automatic methods for long-term tracking and the detection and decoding of communication dances in honeybees."
Tracking Improvement
Optimized the computer vision tracking system for untagged bees, dramatically increasing average tracking duration.
