Project

Researchers, students and engineers have contributed to develop an AI algorithm capable of locating, identifying and quantifying the species present on footages.

Objectives

The Mercantour national Park wishes to monitor and identify common and rare species present on its territory from videos extracted from camera traps located on the Roya and Vésubie valleys.

Methodology

An algorithm composed of convolutional neural networks (Faster-RCNN and InceptionResNetv2) has been implemented thus gaining in efficiency to count and estimate the fauna present.
