| Summary: | Wildlife is present in all of the different ecosystems. From deserts, to forests, and even places where urban sites are developed, all have particular types of animal life. Researchers show that as the population of man and their necessities grow, they are leaving less and less space for wildlife. This inversely proportional relationship gives off multiple threats for the latter. As a matter of solving this problem, a research has proved that aerial drones, when compared to the traditional ground-based methods, are actually far better in performing monitoring operations that would also include wildlife monitoring. This dissertation will be making use of thermal camera mounted on to a quadrotor to create a system that would be able to detect the presence of animals in their own habitat. In this implementation, image processing will also be used to provide observations of animal presence into the system. When an animal is detected by the quadrotor, it will update the user that an animal is present in its surrounding and would be able to send the number of animals present. |
