Deep Learning for Automated Detection and Classification of Waterfowl, Seabirds, and other Wildlife from Digital Aerial Imagery
In collaboration with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Vision Group at the International Computer Science Institute at the University of California - Berkeley, the U.S. Geological Survey Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center is developing deep learning algorithms and tools for the automatic detection, enumeration, classification, and annotation...
Aerial thermal imagery of the Central Platte River Valley and bounding box annotations of sandhill cranes
Aerial thermal imagery was collected over the Central Platte River Valley, Nebraska, USA. Bounding box annotations were manually created for the purpose of machine learning tasks to automate the detection of sandhill cranes. Mosaicking of the thermal imagery was complete to assemble the individual images into a single, geo-referenced image.
