Automated detection, morphometric measurement, and size-class determination of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) from UAV orthomosaics: a cascaded deep-learning pipeline with stratified validation across platforms, sensors, altitudes, and substrates

This paper develops a deep-learning pipeline for automated harbor seal detection and size-classification from drone imagery, showing high accuracy but variability in thermal vs. RGB performance.
