Hey guys, I am a university student in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Currently researching the algorithm/AI to cluster the raptor species without prior knowledge about them.
The resulting algorithm are expected to cluster the species of hundreds of raptors' photos automatically in matter of minutes.

Hundreds of raptors silhouette photos is needed for me to do the research and the succeed algorithm/software will be published.

Requirement:
Must - Birds in the photo must be raptor.
Optional - More than 1 raptor in the photo.

This is the example photo I found from batumiraptorcount.org

The actual data doesn't need to contain huge numbers of raptors in a single photo, any number more than one is enough.

The birds in your example aren't raptors

Indeed. Looks like the study's getting off to a rocky start.

Yes, not raptors - they look like Starlings.

Try Googling "murmurations" - lots of material there

Sorry that I forgot to point out the example is not raptors and I'm aware of that, I have changed a much more appropriate example above.

What exactly do you mean by "cluster"? Grouping together individuals of the same species in a mixed species flock? Or???

Exactly!

But I afraid that photo of mixed species of flock are not easy to obtain.
So a backup plan is prepared, which will extract each individual out from all of the photo data automatically and then grouping together the individuals of the same species. (This method doesn't need mixed species of flock)
