Precision wildlife monitoring using unmanned aerial vehicles.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent a new frontier in environmental research. Their use has the potential to revolutionise the field if they prove capable of improving data quality or the ease with which data are collected beyond traditional methods. We apply UAV technology to wildlife monitoring in tropical and polar environments and demonstrate that UAV-derived counts of colony nesting ...
متن کاملOutdoor Environment Monitoring with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
This work addresses the problem of video surveillance of outdoor environments with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Specifically it proposes a two-step approach, with an initial offline stage in which a mosaic of the zone to be monitored is built from video sequences. The second step tackles with the problem of online detection of relevant differences between the acquired images and the mosaic m...
متن کاملMonitoring of CCS Areas using Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (MUAVs)
Carbon capture & storage (CCS) is one of the most promising technologies for greenhouse gas (GHG) management. However, an unsolved issue of CCS is the development of appropriate long-term monitoring systems for leak detection of the stored CO2. To complement already existing monitoring infrastructure for CO2 storage areas, and to increase the granularity of gas concentration measurements, a qui...
متن کاملDisaster Monitoring using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Deep Learning
Monitoring and identification of disasters are crucial for mitigating their effects on the environment and on human population, and can be facilitated by the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), equipped with camera sensors which can produce frequent aerial photos of the areas of interest. A modern, promising technique for recognition of events based on aerial photos is deep learning. In this...
متن کاملUnmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizing Wildlife Monitoring and Conservation
Surveying threatened and invasive species to obtain accurate population estimates is an important but challenging task that requires a considerable investment in time and resources. Estimates using existing ground-based monitoring techniques, such as camera traps and surveys performed on foot, are known to be resource intensive, potentially inaccurate and imprecise, and difficult to validate. R...
