Imperfect detection and wildlife density estimation using aerial surveys with infrared and visible sensors

Abstract Aerial vehicles equipped with infrared thermal sensors facilitate quick density estimates of wildlife, but detection error can arise from the thermal sensor and viewer of the infrared video. We reviewed published research to determine how commonly these sources of error have been assessed i...
