Comment / Blurring of humans in camera trap data

I was also inspired by this thread to add this to the MD Python package too, so this is now present (pending a merge into main and an update to PyPI) in...

Comment / Blurring of humans in camera trap data

Well look at that, <48 hours from feature request to release!  Yes, Peter, I owe you coffee.  This was so fast that I'll buy you two coffees.

Discussion / Mothbox: Field Testing Amphibious Deployments on Jungle Rivers 

Me and @briannajohns field tested amphibious deployments for the Mothbox in cool jungle rivers!We designed the Mothbox to be super lightweight and robust to make it easy to take...

Comment / Blurring of humans in camera trap data

That was indeed impressively fast! I thought about having a go at it myself but a direct integration with AddaxAI or directly in MD makes so much sense! Well done! Now how...

Discussion / Building the perfect camera trap (Guide)

I know there are several people and teams going through the journey of building their own trail cameras – so I decided to make the guide I wish I had when we were still building...

Comment / Building the perfect camera trap (Guide)

Hey Bob, thanks for the kind words! Your articles on Winterberry Wildlife have really been a big inspiration for me! There are extremely limited numbers of articles on trial...

Comment / Small mammal detection

Thanks Ryan, we've been trying the BirdNeT and BatDetect2 models using Acoupi on a pi and it seems to work well, considering it's running on a pi... A small mammal model that...

Discussion / PolarBearWatchdog! Advancing Arctic Safety with an AI-driven Polar Bear Detection System

Together with Kim Hendrikse and collaborators with polar bear footage, I am developing a camera based polar bear alarm: PolarBearWatch. ...

Comment / PolarBearWatchdog! Advancing Arctic Safety with an AI-driven Polar Bear Detection System

I did a short presentation on our work with the polar bear alarm in the Wildlabs Variety Hour October 30th.It can be found here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr2Q8bUJZ8U...

Comment / AI Edge Compute Based Wildlife Detection

Hi Luke! Very cool project you are doing!For our PolarBearWatchDog! Project, I have been facing some of the same issues you mention about data curation.I have not "scraped"...

Comment / Transfer learning with BirdNet for avian and non-avian detections

BattyBirdNET has been a useful tool for some, but I think it is fairly limited on species.We tend to just use the BTO pipeline, as they offer a lot of small mammals and moths as...

Discussion / Small mammal detection

Is anyone (other than BTO's Acoustic Pipeline) working on detection and classification of ultrasonic vocalisations of small mammals? We're looking at automatic detection of...

Comment / Small mammal detection

I think its possible. I spoke to Stuart at the BTO a while ago about this. It's just not available as an off the shelf solution yet. If you can get real time outputs on the pi (or...

Comment / New Affordable Autonomous Insect Camera Trap

Very cool! Looks like a repurposed case for other wildlife cameras?Do you have custom electronics?

Comment / Transfer learning with BirdNet for avian and non-avian detections

I run Smith Robotics here in the UK. We build a lot of custom environmental sensors. We used to build the PippyG ultrasonic recorder (until Phil sold all his designs to the...

Comment / Program to rent/borrow large numbers of camera traps?

Sounds like an important program, Grace! I'd love to learn more about your org just out of curiosity. 

Comment / Transfer learning with BirdNet for avian and non-avian detections

Thanks for your speedy reply, Ryan.  I'm focused on the neotropics so I don't think the BTO pipeline would suffice for that context. I'll take a look at BattyBirdNet. ...

Comment / AI Edge Compute Based Wildlife Detection

@Lars_Holst_Hansen and Luke,I've been avoiding GBIF an creating my own bounding boxes and annotations by animating about 15 museum specimens from jars, and spitting out the...
