Animal Surveillance System Using Video Analytics

One of the key areas focused on by the agriculture, environment and Tourism ministries isthe protection of our natural resources. Knowing the count of particular animal species we have and where they are found allows us to effectively manage and benefit the animal species. The main aim here is to sustainably manage wildlife. The ability to involuntarily and accurately gather camera trap image data, also a motion sensor is also present for collecting the movements of wildlife. Although, extracting data from these images remains a costly, sustained, physical task. It’s noticeable that such information can be automatically extracted by using machine learning. A promising alternative is offered by computer vision, which typically provides a low cost and non-contact displacement measurement that converts the movement of an object, mostly an attached marker, in the captured images into structural displacement.
