Designing of Face Image Processing Technique for Sorting Out Japanese Raccoons Form Raccoons

To observe mode of life of wild animals, it needs to research individual animal continually. We have to capture these animals temporarily. We need to capture them safely, of course, without hurting them. In general, we make use of traps and capture wild animals. Automation and remote-control operation which monitor traps are needed to reduce costs such as labor costs related to capture for long periods of time. For this reason we developed new type of traps that is possible of remote monitoring and remote operation over the network. Furthermore, we try to recognize face image toward automatic discrimination. In this study, we explain about preprocessing that face recognition is needed.
