Accounting for animal movement during aerial imaging surveys
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Animals are not stationary during aerial surveys; if their movements are related to the movement of the aerial platform, then bias can be introduced into subsequent population count estimates. We sought to establish a framework for assessing the impacts of animal movement on count error and platform bias by comparing aggregated counts and relative ...
