Their study appears today in Nature Communications.
A group of artificial intelligence (AI) and animal ecology experts at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have developed a new big data approach to enhance research on wildlife species and improve wildlife preservation. The new study was published in Nature Communications. Collecting Data
Animal ecology has moved into the era of big data and the Internet of Things.
Scientists at EPFL, the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research and Wageningen University & Research have developed a new deep-learning model for counting the number of seals in aerial photos that is considerably faster than doing it by hand. With this new method, valuable time and resources could be saved which can be used to further study and protect endangered species.
