Koalas tracked using AI
Researchers have launched a koala “facial recognition” study that aims to better monitor the marsupials’ behavior. The team from Griffith University is attempting to use artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize individual furry mammals when they use wildlife road crossings in Queensland state. The underground pathways and bridges are installed at busy roads near koala habitats to offer them a safer route away from vehicles. “Now, with artificial intelligence developing very quickly over the past 10 years, the technology is powerful enough to help recognize not only koalas generally, but which individual koalas are using the crossings,” said associate professor Jun Zhou, who is leading the pilot study.
