Workshop announcement: Learning to effectively and efficiently use DARWIN
The DARWIN Research Group at Eckerd College announces a workshop/tutorial
"Learning to effectively and efficiently use DARWIN," to be held
Saturday, October 10, prior to the 18^th Biennial Conference on Marine
Mammals, in Quebec City, QC, Canada.
Workshop participants will learn to install and use DARWIN, a freely
available photo-identification software package, to create a catalog of
dorsal fins images and then compare images of newly sighted individuals
against the catalog. We will also introduce the use of various software
features that facilitate the sharing of data between or within research
groups and enable the output of sighting data for input to other
software packages.
As a part of this workshop, copies of the current DARWIN
software will be distributed and installed on the laptop computer of
each participant. The hands-on workshop will provide step-by-step
instruction on the most important features of the software, and pointing
out various tips and tricks to get the best performance from it. There
will be time at the end of the workshop when participants can experiment
with what they have learned and have an opportunity to have questions
answered, as they arise.
We anticipate that this workshop will be useful to
researchers interested in training others or in using the software
themselves to facilitate the photo-identification process.
