An innovative system to detect active nests!
Dr. A. Santangeli recently went to Cáceres,
as part of the European Commission LIFE project on Agroestepas Ibéricas. The project, spearheaded by SEO Birdlife Extremadura, primary goal is to create and deploy an innovative
system designed to detect nests of steppe birds, which are frequently destroyed
by mechanical crop spring harvesting. The system utilizes a drone equipped with a thermal camera, working in
conjunction with a machine learning algorithm. This setup will allow for
the detection and precise location of bird nests using thermal imagery
in almost real time, aiming to significantly reduce the risk of nest
destruction during agricultural activities.
