A Semi-Automated Method for Estimating Adélie Penguin Colony Abundance from a Fusion of Multispectral and Thermal Imagery Collected with Unoccupied Aircraft Systems

Monitoring Adélie penguin (<i>Pygoscelis adeliae)</i> populations on the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) provides information about the health of the species and the WAP marine ecosystem itself. In January 2017, surveys of Adélie penguin colonies at Avian Island and Torgersen Island of...
