Artificial intelligence for automated detection of large mammals creates path to upscale drone surveys

Abstract Imagery from drones is becoming common in wildlife research and management, but processing data efficiently remains a challenge. We developed a methodology for training a convolutional neural network model on large-scale mosaic imagery to detect and count caribou (Rangifer tarandus), compar...
