W/Laurens Howle (Duke) & Frank Fish (Westchester), we are releasing 3 3D models of marine mammals (Gray whale, Common Dolphin & Humpback whale). Johnson Martin created the models - funding by BOEM

New 3D model release! In collab w/Vienna Museum of Natural History, we retopologized and animated their 3D scan of an adult male Komodo dragon - Thanks to Mohammed Al Zubaidi and Josh Medina for CG work, and Viola Winkler for working with us! 😆🦎

Very excited to give a seminar on our 3D work, and also a 3D photogrammetry workshop at Union college on April 29th! Special thanks to my amazing colleague Kate Feller for organizing this event! Details in the below link and poster 😃🐼🐬🐧

Very excited to be giving a seminar and workshop at James Cook University in Australia this Wed, March 19th and Th, March 20th! Special thx to @physiologyfish.bsky.social and Joel Gayford for facilitating this seminar!

New paper with colleagues! Bagchi et al published work in Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation 😃

This ML model automatically extracts whale body length & volume from aerial images! Using Mask R-CNN, it detects whales, traces their body shape, and estimates the body axis. 🧵

I want to thank Aaron Olsen, who did the bulk of the 3D reconstruction of Emma - a large (size unknown, ~14 foot female) Tiger Shark from the Bahamas. Johnson Martin also helped Aaron. Both were rock stars in this work! And thanks to Neil Hammerschlag, who provided images/video (like below)

New 3D model release! W/Mystic aquarium, the Digital Life Project is releasing four 3D shark meshes (Epaulette shark, Sand Tiger Shark, & zebra shark), along w/tiger shark (Emma). We thank Gayle Sirpenski & the Mystic aquarium staff for their assistance. More info and download links below! :)😀👍

New paper with colleagues! Zotos et al. used triaxial accelerometers, 3D modelling of live lizards, and behavioral analysis to build a new paradigm of reptile movement. Check out paper below!🦎

In collab/ w/San Diego Zoo, I'm pleased to release our 3D model of an adult male polar bear (Kalluk, 2.44 m length) that we scanned. Thx to Megan Owen and the Zoo for guiding and funding the work. CG artist Jer Bot was instrumental in completing the work. #Free 3D model is below

Looking forward to coming again to #SICB in Atlanta tomorrow! I'll be talking about our recent 3D work with a wide variety of animals - and the implications for scaling, energetics and body condition - among others!
