Implementation of Artificial Intelligence to Estimate Population Size of a Migratory Bird from Aerial Thermal Imagery [2024 INV#DOI-67]
Low riskExact public inventory row
Description
Current survey approach has excessive variability that cannot be biologically explained. New approach is warranted to inform harvest management
Detailed example
A population estimate and distribution data for this hunted migratory bird.
AI / analytics pattern
Computer Vision: AI that processes and interprets visual data (e.g., images and videos).
Automation level / stage
b) Pilot – The use case has been deployed in a limited test or pilot capacity.
Expected benefit
Improved safety for pilots and crew because of remote sensing methods, potential for cost efficiency if approach is fully implemented, and improves data quality to inform harvest management.
Controls / human review
ATO: No; PIA: Not published
Data needed
Imagery data acquired by FWS aerial photography
