Brighton Dolphin Project is a recent initiative set up by the World Cetacean Alliance aiming to study the marine mammal populations of the eastern English Channel. As we are a fairly new project, the majority of our data is sent in by members of the public. This can mean that many of the images sent in are taken on camera phones, or are stills captured from video footage taken on cameras. While this is all great information, we are struggling with the issue of image quality for photo ID. Does anyone have any tips on gathering useful data from video footage, or can recommend the best image-sharpening software to use?
