Potentially following the solution for "where on the seal" and determining a scale.
If the angle of the seal in the image (yaw) is not perpendicular to the camera, use a standard measurement from the seal to stretch/squish the seal to gain a more accurate surface from which to extract patches.
IE if the head of the seal is closer to the camera than the tail, determine this based on standard distance (e.g. the distance from flipper insertion to tail is 3x the dist between flippers, etc.), then elongate the seal based to meet those dimensions.
Potential issue: Would we need to compress the closer part of the seal? Is there a more effective 3D way to do this? Perhaps requiring an understanding of the 3D geometry of a real seal as determined by photogrammetry.
Ideally, angled seal images are eliminated via the quality+distinctiveness ratings.
