Bird strikes present a huge risk for aircraft, especially since traditional airport bird surveillance is mainly dependent on inefficient human observation. Computer vision based technology has been proposed to automatically detect birds,…

In entomology and ecology research, biologists often need to collect a large number of insects, among which beetles are the most common species. A common practice for biologists to organize beetles is to place them on trays and take a…

Insects play such a crucial role in ecosystems that a shift in demography of just a few species can have devastating consequences at environmental, social and economic levels. Despite this, evaluation of insect demography is strongly…

Image analysis technologies empowered by artificial intelligence (AI) have proved images and videos to be an opportune source of data to learn about humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) population sizes and dynamics. With the advent of…

The amount of image datasets collected for environmental monitoring purposes has increased in the past years as computer vision assisted methods have gained interest. Computer vision applications rely on high-quality datasets, making data…

The marine ecosystem is changing at an alarming rate, exhibiting biodiversity loss and the migration of tropical species to temperate basins. Monitoring the underwater environments and their inhabitants is of fundamental importance to…

Camera traps are a method for monitoring wildlife and they collect a large number of pictures. The number of images collected of each species usually follows a long-tail distribution, i.e., a few classes have a large number of instances,…

Using drones to track multiple individuals simultaneously in their natural environment is a powerful approach for better understanding group primate behavior. Previous studies have demonstrated that it is possible to automate the…

Acoustic classification of frogs has gotten a lot of attention recently due to its potential applicability in ecological investigations. Numerous studies have been presented for identifying frog species, although the majority of recorded…

The behavior of honeybees is an important ecological phenomenon not only in terms of honey and beeswax production but also due to the proliferation of flora and fauna around it. The best way to study this significant phenomenon is by…

Monitoring biodiversity is paramount to manage and protect natural resources. Collecting images of organisms over large temporal or spatial scales is a promising practice to monitor the biodiversity of natural ecosystems, providing large…

Zooplankton images, like many other real world data types, have intrinsic properties that make the design of effective classification systems difficult. For instance, the number of classes encountered in practical settings is potentially…

Animal sounds can be recognised automatically by machine learning, and this has an important role to play in biodiversity monitoring. Yet despite increasingly impressive capabilities, bioacoustic species classifiers still exhibit imbalanced…

This paper presents Zwitscherkasten, a DiY, multimodal system for bird species monitoring using audio and visual data on edge devices. Deep learning models for bioacoustic and image-based classification are deployed on resource-constrained…

In an effort to catalog insect biodiversity, we propose a new large dataset of hand-labelled insect images, the BIOSCAN-Insect Dataset. Each record is taxonomically classified by an expert, and also has associated genetic information…

Catching objects in-flight is an outstanding challenge in robotics. In this paper, we present a closed-loop control system fusing data from two sensor modalities: an RGB-D camera and a radar. To develop and test our method, we start with an…

Climate change is a major driver of biodiversity loss, changing the geographic range and abundance of many species. However, there remain significant knowledge gaps about the distribution of species, due principally to the amount of effort…

Reliable large-scale data on the state of forests is crucial for monitoring ecosystem health, carbon stock, and the impact of climate change. Current knowledge of tree species distribution relies heavily on manual data collection in the…

Insects are a crucial part of our ecosystem. Sadly, in the past few decades, their numbers have worryingly decreased. In an attempt to gain a better understanding of this process and monitor the insects populations, Deep Learning may offer…

Garbage disposal is a challenging problem throughout the developed world. In Cyprus, as elsewhere, illegal ``fly-tipping" is a significant issue, especially in rural areas where few legal garbage disposal options exist. However, there is a…
