News Highlights: Tech makes satellite images increasingly attractive for wildlife research
An interdisciplinary team of zoologists and conservationists from the University of Oxford and the University of Bath have used machine learning to identify African elephants in high-resolution satellite images.
Satellite imagery does not yet have enough resolution to compete with more traditional ground-based methods, such as Save the Elephants’ approach to oblique camera counts.
Satellite surveys still offer many benefits, such as being unobtrusive to wildlife and the ability to survey inaccessible areas.
As satellite imagery and machine learning continue to improve, satellite exploration can become an increasingly useful tool for conservationists.
