These traps are indiscriminate, catching and killing everything from antelope to elephants and lions. For every snare our rangers remove, many more remain concealed in the bush, putting countless animals at risk. But together, we can change this!

This cutting-edge approach has the potential to transform wildlife conservation, enabling rangers to locate and remove snares on a much larger scale. We’ve been inspired by groundbreaking work like Henrik Forstén’s DIY SAR project (https://lnkd.in/dy3K97_W). Now, we’re looking for collaborators to adapt this technology to protect Africa’s wildlife. 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗔𝗥 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.

🌍 Unlocking Subsurface Insights with Drone-Based GPR Technology 🌍 I'm thrilled to share the final processed results of our recent GPR data collection, taken during our event day, and expertly processed by Alexey Dobrovolskiy, a seasoned professional in drone-based GPR. His expertise reveals incredible subsurface details, even in diverse environments like the UAE, which he mentioned is particularly favorable for GPR technology. Remarkably, even on irrigated lawns, you can detect distribution pipes beneath the surface! Explore the full results through the link below to see the detail and precision of our findings, it is available for viewing in both 2D and 3D formats. If you’re looking to enhance your operations with advanced, drone-based GPR technology, don’t hesitate to reach out. This solution could transform how you view and manage your subsurface assets. https://lnkd.in/ew76WKa9 Let’s connect and explore how this cutting-edge technology can support your projects! #DroneTechnology #GPR #GroundPenetratingRadar #Surveying #GeophysicalSurveying #SubsurfaceMapping #UAV #DroneSurvey #InnovationInSurveying #ConstructionTech #CivilEngineering #MappingSolutions #AerialSurveying #GeospatialTechnology #EngineeringSolutions #SmartConstruction #UAVSurveying #DroneBasedGPR #InfrastructureInsights #GeospatialData #DroneForConstruction #SurveyingInnovation

Did you know that the infrared "black" flash (the big black rectangle on the generic trail camera pictured here) is not so invisible? These illumination devices are typically used now on security and trail cameras and often marketed as being "undetectable". This is true for normal human eyesight that perceives only visible light (light wavelengths of 380 to 780nm). Black flash operates at a wavelength of around 940nm. Surveillance savvy criminals have developed methods to easily detect a black flash, often resulting in the cameras being located and destroyed or stolen. In addition, some animals can detect infrared light beyond the range of humans. This can impact animal behaviours, and subsequently, the results of any observation program. This is why Echidna is examining alternative night vision systems to infrared illumination.

1647 people drowned in Denmark between 2001 – 2015, 25% in harbors*. Thermal cameras and intelligent software can monitor harbors and alert authorities in time to save lives. People falling in the water at night and freezing temperatures are scenarios that need to be detected as quickly as possible. At Aalborg Harbor in Denmark, thermal cameras are already in place. Over the last few years, five incidents of people falling into the water at Aalborg harbor have occurred. Other people who have heard screams of the person falling into the water have called 112. The thermal cameras have been instrumental in locating the person in the water and guiding the rescue teams and divers to save the people in the water. *(https://ow.ly/rsQA30sCTif) #Safety #HarborSafety #AI #ThermalCameras

Watch out, bears of #Japan—the #AI fever has reached you, too! To reduce risks to humans, several municipalities across Japan have implemented an AI-powered #surveillance system to track bear sightings near farmland, roads, and urban areas 📹. Developed by Hokutsu Co. and a lab at Hokuriku Electric Power Company, this system is already in use by almost 20 prefectures and cities 🏙️. With 24/7 #imageanalysis, the system alerts authorities and residents whenever bears are spotted, enhancing public safety. Cameras capture moving objects, and the AI—trained on around 50,000 bear images—sends an alert only when a bear is detected 🐻🔍.
