I am a wildlife biologist working on a project to survey birds using cameras.
We took thousands of high-quality aerial images of flocks of (large) birds on water. In most images, the birds are VERY easy to detect by eye and, I THINK, would be very easy to isolate and detect by computer program. I mostly use R, and R is not great for this type of project and I don't have time to learn other software. A past employee with moderate coding experience largely already did this in matlab, but retired before he could fix some glitches. However, I'd like a program that I can run without the use of an expensive program like matlab.
For the current year, we have about 12,000 photos. And we will re-do this survey every year. So, Ultimately, I'd like a final product that is fairly easy to run by almost anyone with some coding/computing skills. There are several species in the images and if remotely possible, it would be nice if the program could try to sort them. For instance, if it could give you a likelihood that item x is a bird and the likelihood that it is species x vs. y.
I included a photo of a flock of birds on water from the project.
There are a few other issues -- but I don't think they would be very difficult. For example, some photos are over land, not water, and can be thrown out. There are other "items" in the pictures like rocks, garbage, other wildlife (e.g. seals), and the program would need to not count these.
Let me know if you think this is possible!
Thank you for looking at our bid. Ideally we would like try few things before accepting the project - As you have already noted, different logic & approximation (background removal, contour highlighting, separating the unwanted) may be required for set of images.

Hi, Dear Employer!
How are you?
I am really interested in your project.
I am going to use the OpenCV for image processing.
I have experience detecting and counting devices in the integrated circuit using OpenCV.
I can realize your project from this experience as much as I can.
I have enough experience on image processing, C/C++, C#, java programming.
I am 100% sure i can satisfy your requirements perfectly.
User-Friendly Interface And Clear Algorithm Will Encourage Your Project.
I want a long term relationship with you.
Thank you and best regards!

HI
I am experienced developer in computer vision and worked on classification projects. Your project can be categorized in two parts:
1. Bird classification from other objects in image
2. Analyzing the species of bird
The first objective is fairly simple and will take 1 week to train the machine learning model for this while second part depends upon the data availability. Again the species recognition requires a database of expected bird species in the image so that we can train another ML model.
Tools Requirement: Python, openCV,tensorflow
I would like to hear from you for more discussion.
With Regards
I have a good hand on working with Advanced Excel, R and Python. I have quite a good knowledge of deep learning Algorithm and ML algos, have also developed dashboards and Web Application and BI tools.
I understand the project requirement and will deliver the desired product within the time specified. Let's discuss.
Hi dear, I've just checked your requirements.
I am very interested in that sort of thing and have a lot of experiences of the field like that.
If you hire me, I will be able to finish your project earlier ahead the appointed time and in timely manner. That will be absolutely perfect.
My bid always is cheaper than other, but it will be changed little by little according to your details and the worth of your project.
I can be willing to satisfy you with startling result.
Thanks for your reading.
