A programme can train neural networks, using just a handful of images, to rapidly characterise in satellite and drone data new objects like ocean debris, deforestation zones, urban areas and more. In a new study an international team of researchers h
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.
