Camera trapping for conservation

2021
Abstract Camera traps use a motion sensor to capture images of passing animals, representing verifiable and non-invasive records of the presence of a given species at a specified place and time. These simple records provide fundamental data on biodiversity that have proven invaluable to conservation.

Sorting camera trap images

2017 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP), 2017
Camera trapping is used by conservation biologists to study snow leopards. In this research, we introduce techniques that sort camera trap images into sets with snow leopards and those without. We use Robust Principal Component Analysis, thresholding, and binary morphology to create motion templates.

A History of Camera Trapping

2011
The human desire to observe wild animals without disturbing them goes back at least to hunter-gatherers who constructed blinds. Our ability to do so was greatly enhanced with the development of photography and other, even more recent, innovations such as small, portable batteries, electric lights, and digital equipment.

Science, Conservation, and Camera Traps

2011
Biologists commonly perceive camera traps as a new tool that enables them to enter the hitherto secret world of wild animals. Camera traps are being used in a wide range of studies dealing with animal ecology, behavior, and conservation. Our intention in this volume is not to simply present the various uses of camera traps, but to focus on their use in

An underwater stereo-camera trap

Methods in Oceanography, 2014
Abstract This paper describes the design and deployment of a new type of underwater stereo camera capable of triggering when animals are present in the field of view. Unobtrusive evaluation of the camera view field for potential targets is achieved using far-red illumination invisible to most fishes.

Human-animal recognition in camera trap images

2018 26th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2018
Camera trap is an image sensor that is widely used in monitoring biodiversity, identifying and tracking species in natural life. In this study, we investigate human-animal distinction in image dataset obtained from camera traps for the purpose of smuggling detection and prevention.
