Congratulation to Iván Rodriguez for having presented his work on the recognition of pollen-bearing bees at WACV2018 at Lake Tahoe, NV.

The new approach using Convolutional Neural Networks  reaches 96.1% of accuracy [1], and outperforms previous approaches. The image dataset is publicly available at https://github.com/piperod/PollenDataset.

Example of pollen-bearing and non-pollen-bearing bees classified using Convolutional Neural Networks.
