Bench testing of a geophone and a detection algorithm picks up human footsteps and will soon be deployed for field testing. The signal processing algorithm for the accelerometers successfully detects shaking, kicking, and climbing events, and Deep Learning applied to the camera trap images detects cattle. Preliminary field tests in northern Arizona and northern California focused on perimeter detection by using fence mounted accelerometers, camera traps, geophones, and satellite images.

The goal is to test whether the fusion of all these sensing modalities would improve detection and lead to a significantly reduced response time from game reserve personnel in support of conflict resolution. The final aerial element would be a UAV fitted with high resolution visible and infrared cameras and LIDAR that can be launched on cues received from the perimeter or range mesh elements if a breach or unexpected human presence is detected, or a potential animal-human conflict is predicted. The fusion of computer-vision-enabled camera traps, sensors, machine learning applied to satellite images, and GPS collar data would serve to detect, track, and localize animals within the vast game reserves. The range mesh element would employ GPS collars on select animals in a herd, satellite images, post-mounted acoustic sensors and camera traps, and seismic sensors. The perimeter element would consist of sensors capable of detecting human or vehicle presence and possible tampering or breaches of the perimeter boundary. The proposed sensor network architecture consists of three primary elements: perimeter, range mesh, and aerial. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and California State University are designing field experiments to evaluate the potential benefits of sensor fusion in contrast to employing a singular sensor modality, for detecting, tracking, and localizing elephants, rhinos, and people.

Long-term strategies such as poverty alleviation and education in areas adjacent to animal habitats have great merit, however, it is imperative to also protect these animals in the short term. View Video Presentation: Poaching of elephants and rhinos for their tusks and horns has devastated their populations in the wild. Instrument used as an alternative or in addition to RADAR based upon site needs, costs, and The All-sky allowsįor narrowed search space re-detection and tracking with a high optical gain EO/IR With and without acoustic data fusion for slew-to-cue message generation.

Which has been purpose-built for small UAS detection at similar kilometer ranges. Neighborhood of at least nine or more pixels within an operating range similar to RADAR, This provides a sufficiently large target pixel Optical zoom at similar or better resolution.
