Abstract: With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, people are paying more and more attention to the protection of wild animals. Their survive-al is closely related to human beings. As progress in target detection has achieved unprecedented success in computer vision, we can more easily tar-get animals. Animal detection based on computer vision is an important branch of object recognition, which is applied to intelligent monitoring, smart driving, and environmental protection. At present, many animal detection methods have been proposed. However, animal detection is still a challenge due to the complexity of the background, the diversity of animal pos-es, and the obstruction of objects. An accurate algorithm is needed. In this paper, the fast Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) is used. The proposed method was tested using the CAMERA_TRAP DATASET. The results show that the proposed animal detection method based on Faster R-CNN performs better in terms of detection accuracy when its performance is compared to conventional schemes.
