Abstract: We propose a novel method in Animal footprints identification, which are used to identify the animals by the footprints in a digital method. The recognition of animal tracks plays an important role in ecological research and monitoring, and tracking tunnels are a cost-effective method for species over large areas. Traditionally, tracks are collected by a tracking system, and analysis is carried out in a manual identification procedure by experienced wildlife biologists. Unfortunately, human experts are unable to reliably distinguish tracks of morphologically similar species. We propose a new method using image analysis, which allows automatic identification of animals by using the digital images as an input then compared it with the database.
