PlumageParts provides a dataset of 4,705 bird images annotated for nine plumage regions and benchmarks segmentation models, achieving 84.01% mean Intersection over Union with a frozen DINOv3 encoder.

The paper uses citizen science and deep learning to show that losing threatened bird species will disproportionately reduce avian plumage diversity, especially in tropical regions.

SPROUT provides a user-friendly segmentation framework for volumetric images, achieving high-quality results with less manual input than supervised models.
