    I would like to recommend a 3rd classification dealing with marking penguins: "Marked 30 plus penguins."

    in addition to counting, isn't part of the actual marking to help a computer develop recognition algorithms and count automatically, or have i mis interpreted your question?

    There is no limit on counting. If you feel inclined to do so, you can keep counting until you have counted every penguin.
    When you click on "Finished", the system will record however many you have counted.
    We often have counts well into the hundreds and occasionally even thousands (although you need a very large screen to be able to see that well).

    And Hugh, yes you are right. The scientists are working with the Computer Vision laboratory to (hopefully) develop a recognition tool to allow automatic counting
