Birds in a Forest

چکیده
The goal of this project is to use machine learning and computer vision techniques to identify an object in an image. More specifically, given an image of a bird, we would like to identify what species of bird it is. To do this, we have implemented a two step process; first identify the characteristics of the bird in the image, then use those characteristics to predict what species of bird it is. We have obtained approximately 83% for our own implementation of Random Forest using the features predicted from raw images using KNNs to identify various features.

The Survey of Density and Diversity of Birds in Two Protected and Recreational Forest Areas (A Case Study: Golestan Province, Iran)
Density and diversity of birds in two different forest zones, namely, Shasta Kalateh Protected Forest and Alangdareh Recreational Forest, were estimated and compared. Birds and environmental variables were recorded within 25 m radius in 100 sampling points. The first axis of Canonical Component Analysis segregated two main groups of birds. The first group consisted of Black Woodpecker, Great Sp...
متن کاملUnderstorey bird responses to the edge-interior gradient in an isolated tropical rainforest of Malaysia
Forest fragmentation results in a loss of forest interior and an increase in edge habitat. We studied how understorey bird community composition and habitat variables changed along an edge-to-interior gradient in a 1248-ha lowland rainforest patch in peninsular Malaysia. Birds and environmental variables such as vegetation structure and litter depth were detected within a 25-m radius of each of...
متن کاملThe Effect of Local and Landscape-Level Characteristics on the Abundance of Forest Birds in Early-Successional Habitats during the Post-Fledging Season in Western Massachusetts
Many species of mature forest-nesting birds ("forest birds") undergo a pronounced shift in habitat use during the post-fledging period and move from their forest nesting sites into areas of early-successional vegetation. Mortality is high during this period, thus understanding the resource requirements of post-fledging birds has implications for conservation. Efforts to identify predictors of a...
متن کاملThe trade-off between housing density and sprawl area: Minimising impacts to forest breeding birds
Increasing housing density is generally assumed to confer negative effects on forest breeding birds. This implies we should build at low density over the landscape to conserve these species. However, for a given human population, low-density development must cover a large area, resulting in sprawl. A pertinent question is then: at what housing density are the impacts of a given human population...
متن کاملImpact of landscape composition and configuration on forest specialist and generalist bird species in the fragmented Lacandona rainforest, Mexico
With accelerated land-use change throughout the tropics, an increasing proportion of global biodiversity is located in human-modified landscapes. Understanding the relative effects of landscape composition and configuration on biodiversity is needed to design effective conservation strategies. Yet this topic is poorly understood because most studies have been performed at the patch scale, and d...
متن کاملLand use types influenced avian assemblage structure in a forest–agriculture landscape in Ghana
The conservation of biodiversity within tropical forest regions does not lie only in the maintenance of natural forest areas, but on conservation strategies directed toward agricultural land types within which they are embedded. This study investigated variations in bird assemblages of different functional groups of forest-dependent birds in three agricultural land types, relative to distance f...
