AI for Offshore Energy: Innovative Technology Streamlines Marine Wildlife Surveys [2024 INV#DOI-66]
Low riskExact public inventory row
Description
Offshore energy development requires environmental assessments; using AI technology to conduct offshore migratory bird counts can efficiently provide such data, however, substantial automation is required
Detailed example
Abundance and distribution data on migratory birds
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
Counts of migratory birds with a high degree of accuracy, long-term cost efficiency, safety is improved for pilots due to remote sensing technology
Controls / human review
ATO: No; PIA: Not published
Data needed
Remote sensing data are acquired by FWS aircraft and camera systems.
