Watch: Using a FLIR Thermal Camera to Track Whales
Our friends at Ocean Alliance have been using drones to collect samples from whales, identify them in the wild and track their movements from above. Over the summer they were in Alaska and, with the help of Intel's algorithms, were able to spot different species in the water despite poor visibility. The Ocean Alliance team also got a chance to test out some new equipment, which … [Read more...] about Watch: Using a FLIR Thermal Camera to Track Whales
Ocean Alliance: Drones, Whales & Intel
We've been closely following the work of Ocean Alliance for a while now. The marine conservation organization first came to our attention with its ingenious, drone-powered data gathering solution: SnotBot. Silly name, brilliant concept. SnotBot is essentially a modified drone that hovers above whales in the wild to collect valuable samples from their blows. Think of them as … [Read more...] about Ocean Alliance: Drones, Whales & Intel
