This project is a component of the WildMe / WildBook project: See https://github.com/WildbookOrg/

NOTE: This IBEIS software is the result of my (Jon Crall's) PhD work. After I graduated, the image analysis components of IBEIS and the core HotSpotter program have been transferred and are now being developed by the WildMe organization. While this software is maintained and supported, it can only handle medium scale populations and its it GUI interface can be difficult to work with. If you have a larger population or the need for simpler and scalable web interfaces please reach out to the WildMe project at services@wildme.org (more info: https://www.wildme.org/#/services/ ).

IBEIS - Image Analysis

I.B.E.I.S. = Image Based Ecological Information System

"(Note: the rhino and wildebeest mathces may be dubious. Other species do work well though")

Installation Instructions (updated 2020-Nov-01)

The IBEIS software is now available on pypi for Linux systems. This means if you have Python installed. You can simply run:

pip install ibeis

to install the software. Then the command to run the GUI is:

ibeis

On Windows / OSX I recommend using a Linux virtual machine. However, if you are computer savvy it is possible to build all of the requirements on from source. The only tricky components are installing the packages with binary dependencies: pyhesaff and vtool_ibeis. If you have these built then the rest of the dependencies can be installed from pypi even on OSX / Windows.

NOTE: When using a VM on windows, you may encounter an error:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in
... even though it was found. This application failed to start because no
Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may
fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: xcb, eglfs, ...

Core dumped

The reason the issue happens appears to be because the opencv-python package includes libraries also packaged with PyQt5 and those are conflicting.

The workaround is to uninstall opencv-python and then install a variant that does not include extra Qt libs:

pip uninstall opencv-python
pip install opencv-python-headless

Basic Usage (updated 2020-Nov-01)

After installation running the ibeis command will open the GUI:

If you have already made a database, it will automatically open the most recently used database.

If this is the first time you've run the program it will not have a database opened:

https://i.imgur.com/Ey9Urcv.png

Select new database, (which will first ask you to select a work directory where all of your databases will live). Then you will be asked to create a database name. Select one and then create the database in your work directory.

You can drag and drop images into the GUI to add them to the database. Double clicking an image lets you add "annotations":

https://i.imgur.com/t0LQZot.png

You can also right click one or more images and click "Add annotations from entire images" if your images are already localized to a single individual.

It important than when you add an annotation, you set its species. You can right click multiple annotations and click "set annotation species". Change this to anything other than "____".

Once you have annotations with species, you can click one and press "q" to query for matches in the database of other annotations:

https://i.imgur.com/B0ilafa.png

Right clicking and marking each match as "True" or "False" (or alternatively selecting a row and pressing "T" or "F") will mark images as the same or different individuals. Groups marked as the same individual will appear in the "Tree of Names".

Note there are also batch identification methods in the "ID Encounters" "ID Exemplars" and "Advanced ID Interface" (my personal recommendation). Play around with different right-click menus (although note that some of these are buggy and will crash the program), but the main simple identification procedures are robust and should not crash.

Program Description

IBEIS program for the storage and management of images and derived data for use in computer vision algorithms. It aims to compute who an animal is, what species an animal is, and where an animal is with the ultimate goal being to ask important why biological questions. This This repo Image Analysis image analysis module of IBEIS. It is both a python module and standalone program.

Currently the system is build around and SQLite database, a PyQt4 / PyQt5 GUI, and matplotlib visualizations. Algorithms employed are: random forest species detection and localization, hessian-affine keypoint detection, SIFT keypoint description, LNBNN identification using approximate nearest neighbors. Algorithms in development are SMK (selective match kernel) for identification and deep neural networks for detection and localization.

The core of IBEIS is the IBEISController class. It provides an API into IBEIS data management and algorithms. The IBEIS API Documentation can be found here: http://erotemic.github.io/ibeis

The IBEIS GUI (graphical user interface) is built on top of the API. We are also experimenting with a new web frontend that bypasses the older GUI code.

Self Installing Executables

Unfortunately we have not released self-installing-executables for IBEIS yet. We ~plan~ hope to release these "soon".

However there are old HotSpotter (the software which IBEIS is based on) binaries available. These can be downloaded from: http://cs.rpi.edu/hotspotter/

Internal Modules

In the interest of modular code we are actively developing several different modules.

The IBEIS module itself:

IBEIS Development Environment Setup

# The following install script install ibeis and all dependencies.
# If it doesnt you can look at the older instructions which follow
# and try to figure it out. After running this you should have a code
# directory with all of the above repos.

# Navigate to your code directory
export CODE_DIR=~/code
mkdir $CODE_DIR
cd $CODE_DIR

# Clone IBEIS
git clone https://github.com/Erotemic/ibeis.git
cd ibeis

# Install the requirements for super_setup
pip install -r requirements/super_setup.txt

# Install the development requirements (note-these are now all on pypi, so
# this is not strictly necessary)
python super_setup.py ensure

# NOTE: you can use super_setup to do several things
python super_setup.py --help
python super_setup.py versions
python super_setup.py status
python super_setup.py check
python super_setup.py pull

# Run the run_developer_setup.sh file in each development repo
python super_setup.py develop

# Or you can also just do to use pypi versions of dev repos:
python setup.py develop

# Optional: set a workdir and download a test dataset
.python -m ibeis.dev
.python -m ibeis.dev -t mtest
python -m ibeis.dev -t nauts
./reset_dbs.py

python -m ibeis --set-workdir ~/data/work --preload-exit
python -m ibeis -e ensure_mtest

# make sure everyhing is set up correctly
python -m ibeis --db PZ_MTEST

Running Tests

The new way of running tests is with xdoctest, or using the "run_doctests.sh" script.

Example usage

(Note: This list is far from complete, and some commands may be outdated)

#--------------------
# Main Commands
#--------------------
python -m ibeis.main <optional-arguments> [--help]
python -m ibeis.dev <optional-arguments> [--help]
# main is the standard entry point to the program
# dev is a more advanced developer entry point

# ** NEW 7-23-2015 **: the following commands are now equivalent and do not
# have to be specified from the ibeis source dir if ibeis is installed
python -m ibeis <optional-arguments> [--help]
python -m ibeis.dev <optional-arguments> [--help]

# Useful flags.
# Read code comments in dev.py for more info.
# Careful some commands don't work. Most do.
# --cmd          # shows ipython prompt with useful variables populated
# -w, --wait     # waits (useful for showing plots)
# --gui          # starts the gui as well (dev.py does not show gui by default, main does)
# --web          # runs the program as a web server
# --quiet        # turns off most prints
# --verbose      # turns on verbosity
# --very-verbose # turns on extra verbosity
# --debug2       # runs extra checks
# --debug-print  # shows where print statments occur
# -t [test]


#--------------------
# PSA: Workdirs:
#--------------------
# IBEIS uses the idea of a work directory for databases.
# Use --set-workdir <path> to set your own, or a gui will popup and ask you about it
./main.py --set-workdir /raid/work --preload-exit
./main.py --set-logdir /raid/logs/ibeis --preload-exit

python -m ibeis.dev --set-workdir ~/data/work --preload-exit

# use --db to specify a database in your WorkDir
# --setdb makes that directory your default directory
python -m ibeis.dev --db <dbname> --setdb

# Or just use the absolute path
python -m ibeis.dev --dbdir <full-dbpath>


#--------------------
# Examples:
# Here are are some example commands
#--------------------
# Run the queries for each roi with groundtruth in the PZ_MTEST database
# using the best known configuration of parameters
python -m ibeis.dev --db PZ_MTEST --allgt -t best
python -m ibeis.dev --db PZ_MTEST --allgt -t score

Caveats / Things we are not currently doing

  • We do not add or remove points from kdtrees. They are always rebuilt
