Seabird surveillance: combining CCTV and artificial intelligence for monitoring and research
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Ecological research and monitoring need to be able to rapidly convey information that can form the basis of scientifically sound management. Automated sensor systems, especially if combined with artificial intelligence, can contribute to such rapid high ...
