Normalization of Active Appearance Models for Fish Species Identification

Table 9

Comparison between a hierarchical technique and a standard method. Using two models, one for the family identification and one for the species identification, outperforms the nonhierarchical method by about 5 percent.
Identification rate Number of objective function evaluations
10 species, Model 1 81.3% 600~700
10 species, Model 1, hierarchical 85.1% 100 (Model 1) + 600 (Family Specific Models)
12 species, Model 2 78.3% 600~700
12 species, Model 2, hierarchical 84.5% 230 (Model 2) + 600 (Family Specific Models)
