Combining Human Computing and Machine Learning to Make Sense of Big (Aerial) Data for Disaster Response.

Big data
Aerial imagery captured via unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is playing an increasingly important role in disaster response. Unlike satellite imagery, aerial imagery can be captured and processed within hours rather than days. In addition, the spatial...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizing Wildlife Monitoring and Conservation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

Addressing significant challenges for animal detection in camera trap images: a novel deep learning-based approach.

Scientific reports
Wildlife biologists increasingly use camera traps for monitoring animal populations. However, manually sifting through the collected images is expensive and time-consuming. Current deep learning studies for camera trap images do not adequately tackle...

Exploring community knowledge, perceptions, and the impacts of anthrax among farming communities living in game management areas in Zambia: A qualitative study using a hybrid approach.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases
Anthrax remains a neglected zoonotic disease of critical public and animal health significance in Zambia, particularly in regions with active human-wildlife-livestock interfaces such as the Western, Southern and Eastern provinces of Zambia. This stud...

Aerial Wildlife Image Repository for animal monitoring with drones in the age of artificial intelligence.

Database : the journal of biological databases and curation
Drones (unoccupied aircraft systems) have become effective tools for wildlife monitoring and conservation. Automated animal detection and classification using artificial intelligence (AI) can substantially reduce logistical and financial costs and im...

Deep learning to extract the meteorological by-catch of wildlife cameras.

Global change biology
Microclimate-proximal climatic variation at scales of metres and minutes-can exacerbate or mitigate the impacts of climate change on biodiversity. However, most microclimate studies are temperature centric, and do not consider meteorological factors ...

A novel reassortant avian influenza H4N6 virus isolated from an environmental sample during a surveillance in Maharashtra, India.

The Indian journal of medical research
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) viruses cause mild clinical illness in domestic birds. Migratory birds are a known reservoir for all subtypes of avian influenza (AI) viruses. The objective of the study was to characteri...

Counting penguins with drones.

Science robotics
A multidrone path-planning algorithm enables drones to scout Adélie penguin colonies in Antarctica.

Multidrone aerial surveys of penguin colonies in Antarctica.

Science robotics
Speed is essential in wildlife surveys due to the dynamic movement of animals throughout their environment and potentially extreme changes in weather. In this work, we present a multirobot path-planning method for conducting aerial surveys over large...
