- The image on the left is the Selected query annotation (the original image you started with).
- On the right is the Selected match candidate (the image of the potential matching Individual).
- Underneath each image is information about the Individual, Region, and Time of Sighting. This helps in making sure that the Sightings match.
- If an image carousel displays, you can click through the images to see the full collection of images associated with the animal. The carousel only displays if there are additional images.
- Above the images, click the Inspect match area toggle to see the visualizations to see what the algorithm is considering for the match.
- Check if the annotated Individuals match.
- The Viewpoint column on each of the tables indicates the camera’s perspective.
- Score indicates how similar the Individuals are to each other. Note that a higher Score indicates how closely the Individuals are matching, but it is not accurate at all times.
- If you want to view each Individual’s Sighting page, scroll to the side of the Candidate annotations table and click the icon under the View Sighting column.
- The Status menu below the Query annotations table lets you mark the match as Unreviewed, In progress, Reviewed, or Unidentifiable.
